Hello, I'm back.

For those of you that have followed me for awhile, you know the journey I've been on the past year and a half. Living in Tucson, getting married in Flagstaff, moving to Asheville, being involved in a canopy tour company, getting an adorable puppy, starting a photography business, trying to find the balance of living and work, watching my sister get married, moving to Wrightwood and becoming partners for a second location for that canopy tour company, and now trying to adjust to a new life again and grow a business in one of the most photography saturated areas of the country. It's been a whirlwind, and in the midst of it I've lost this blog.

Truth is, I needed a break... I needed to be quiet, to internalize some things, to not fake interest or inspiration, to get through the winter, to be okay with where I'm at. Now that I've had that time, I'm beginning to miss this blog and I'm ready to be back. The community I've found here is wonderful, as BridalHood said today in her post, and I've found there's an overflowing goodness of inspiration and support, something I've really appreciated as I struggled to follow my passion and believe in myself as an artist. I miss the conversations through comments, sharing things that stir something inside of me, weddings that overflow with simple love, small talents that are waiting to be found, things that resonate truth to me. I miss hearing from people all over the world that it resonates with too.

I hope you all have been doing wonderful and enjoying the simple things in life. Here's a glimpse of what my last couple months in our new home has been. As you can tell, it's been a quiet winter of a time spent with my two boys. But it's been good.

I'm so glad you're back. We've missed you. I know it's been a whirlwind for you. I thought it was a crazy year for me but you have even been through so much more - but all exciting and all a part of the journey. I'm so glad you are on the West Coast and hope we can connect some day soon. I feel guilty about not blogging every day but like you - I struggle to find inspiration at times and don't want to just post a space filler but be true to what my blog is all about. Anyway, welcome back!

I'm down to about once a week. I swear I don't understand how people find time to blog daily (only when I was traveling the world and had tons of extra time on my hands was I able to!)

But it's a world I miss being a part of daily...but like everything in life; we must prioritize.

And yes, as a response to your comment the other day--it seems like just yesterday I was longing for community and a place to call home; now I'm itching to go somewhere again. Figures!

Your post and pictures convey a sense of happiness. It's great that you are following your very own path and are able to figure out where you want to be with your life and art. It'll be good to be part of your journey again.

Funny how life gets in the way. Last week I posted for the first time in what, six months and then promptly found myself without the internet. Still trying to figure out how to blog from my phone. Just like you, I miss the community out here. Thanks for the gorgeous pics as always.
