Traveling has been a passion of mine since I got my first passport at 6 months old (no joke!) I sat on my moms lap and made gaga sounds at the photographer. I started traveling alone at age 6 to visit my Aunt in Missouri every Summer. I haven't stopped since. Where I go, my camera follows. I love experiencing new places and capturing each one in my own way.
It’s been awhile since I posted anything too personal, so I’ll take the Holiday to acknowledge what my life consists of!
There are so many things I am thankful for! Here is just a snippet!
-My uber-supportive parents whom I don’t see often enough (mostly because of their wanderlust)
-My extended family that lives close and I know I can lean on if needed
-The amazing friends that I have in my life and would probably go crazy without (shout out to my Betas!)
-My health, even if it hasn’t been great the last few weeks, overall I am normally really healthy!
-Awesome, trusting and loving clients that push me to be a better photographer every single day
-My Cerimone girls, Brenda and Cathy for being inspiring and creative and always believing in me
-So Cal for allowing me to work in my industry year round
-Margaritas and FroYo (Hey! It’s how I relax!)
-My iPhone – 3 way tied for the best purchase I made all year (along with my 50mm 1.2 lens and my Nissan Altima)
Not sure how I ever lived without that phone!
My family 
We are headed to my in-laws house today for a Thanksgiving feast. Tim nominated us (read: me) to make green bean casserole. I was not born to be in the kitchen like Mandi was, but I think it looks great for my first attempt ever! Maybe next year they will trust me with something a little more difficult – like potatoes! haha
Gobble Gobble! Enjoy this day, and every day, with your friends and family!
Happy Thanksgiving to my US readers!

I was trusted with nothing this year, so you can imagine where I am on the cooking totem pole. Per your love to Fro-yo, what time do you want to go today?
