Friends and Oregon.

I feel like I could live in these moments forever. The little ones that creep in the middle of the night. The still ones that wrap you in warm sun beams, making you want to lay like a lazy cat. The peace of the cool rain drops falling and breath-taking thunder running through the sky. The sand between your hands, eyes closed, listening to the orchestra of the waves. It’s these moments that I crave and cling to. I take pictures to fling me back, almost like those amusement park rides that makes everything blur and turn upside down.

Knowing that those moments are happening in that moment is spectacular feeling.

I went to Oregon one weekend a while ago and I went to the beach. While all of my friends were doing things around me, I sat and watched the waves and ran my hands over the sand. Later that night we sat by the fire joking and listening to the waves. I felt and knew that this was going was one of those moments that I wanted to travel back to. I’m so grateful for my friends and the adventures they bring. I love that I got to have sometime with them and to just soak in the feeling of relaxing fun moments with them.

Don’t forget those moments.

“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving.

What you have caught on film is captured forever…it

remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.”

Aaron Siskind

It’s a moment. Small at the time, sometimes silent. Looking back its huge and filled with noise. Emotions of every type flooding over you like Whirlpool. You sit and look at it pulling the feelings apart like tangled string, trying to figure out what you want to have stand out. Then at the end your left with a little bit of the beauty of what you see with your heart and eyes for everyone else.

This is photography to me. It keeps me grounded with changes in life. It takes me out of my head to see what the bigger parts of life are, making sure I see the light when all I want is to wallow in the past.

I’ve gone through some changes in the last couple of months and I wanted to share some of the moments that have happened so far.

Hey Lovelies,

So lately I have been thinking a lot about courage. Talk to anyone who knows me and they will most likely tell you that I am super scared of life….well you might have to torture them to get them to say it….I have amazing and nice friends! ❤ but really I am so scared of life, not knowing what’s going to happen and all that stuff. So I was thinking to my self:

What is Courage? Personally I think courage is seeing what scares you and moving towards it or you fail and try again. You can still be scared of it, but you wont let it change your course. Its hard to find courage, you know? I feel like it’s not a thing we’re born with, it’s this thing we have to work up to. For example I HATE spiders, like not your “omg spider, someone kill it!”  I’m like “oh hold up no I am not doing this, let me get the gas and matches and burn down this house, it is so not ok” but growing up in a family where I’m the youngest, I would call for my daddy or my mom or my bad ass sisters, but these past few years I have learned to deal with killing those evil things…sort of.. ( I know I’m slow at courage stuff 😛 ) but its taken me around 19 years to kill a bug, but I’ve done it and its awesome to know that I can 😀

With all seriousness though, is it only me that finds courage to come so slowly??? I feel like I  have to listen to my “bad ass” playlist to just get the littlest amount of courage. Like where is my Neville Longbottom moment? I mean that guy was so full of courage that he lead an army of teens to fight a crazy evil wizard! I know we all get there, we cant just let things stop us, if we did we would never live life. I think we all need to put on that soundtrack to your life music, grab that stuffed animal that makes you feel brave from when you where a kid (we all know you still have it) and head out there to kick some A.S.S.

 But yes this is my rant on courage stuff….For staying so long and braving through my rant I will give you some pictures I have taken over the spring time!

OH before I forget, what have you guys killed with courage or are working towards killing about? Comment and answer below. Like always rate, share, and follow!! We will be best friends!!! because you are awesome!!!!!! yep yep yep!

Love you guys,
