Girly with a pinch of Spice

Just the other day, while I was flipping though some images from our beautiful beach wedding last weekend I ran into a few… less than flattering images of myself. Turns out, when I wasn’t looking, my ever so sweet big sister was taking a moment to laugh at me and photograph my crazy antics.

As photographers, the reality of our situation is this- when that perfectly lit, dreamy, starry-sky type shot comes along, you have to jump hurdles to capture it. Sometimes, this means doing some not so lady like things. In fact, sometimes, the things we do are just down right wrong. But with smiles on our faces and passion in our hearts we will skip into the ocean, cameras in hand. To me, these photographs are more than just amusing, they put into perspective how determined we are to get the shot. Even if it means rock climbing, hiding in bushes or just plain actin’ a fool.

But you know what, that’s me- I’m girly with a pinch of spice… and I’m totally cool with that.

Today, I urge you to put yourself out there in all your glory. Laugh at yourself before others and embrace who you are … even if being you today means picking sand out of your hair.
