New Friends

You know what's awesome about being involved in an art full of fun & creative people? You get to meet these people, hang out, and become friends – people from all over the world, the country, and your state. As a photographer, it is such a cool thing being able to talk with another fellow photog and meet in person to hang out!

This weekend I finally got to hang out with one of my personal photographer role models and inspirations. San Antonio based wedding photographer, Anthony Guana of Tailored Filter Photography. Him and his sweet girlfriend, Amanda, drove to Houston this past weekend. We had a chance to meet up, grab some drinks and coffee at Down House, and explore some of the Heights! Remember back in the Myspace days when people used to say, "p4p?" Otherwise known as, "pic4pic." Well we totally did that. I got to take some portraits of Amanda + Anthony, and he took a few of me as well!

Despite the extreme Texas humidity that night and the gray skies taking up all of our sunshine, we had a loads of fun just hanging out and getting to know each other. I'm thankful to be part of this community of creative individuals who are always ready to explore, try new things, and make new friends.

Roadtrip!

I am SO excited for this next month. Tony and I are going on a much needed roadtrip. My grandparents are huge travelers, and they've invited us to squeeze into an RV and live in the mountains with them for 16 days. Tony and I love roadtrips, and we love the mountains even more. I already know this trip will be filled of days full of canoeing, hiking, campfires, stories, and happiness. We'll be leaving Houston on the 14th, and from there will be traveling through Colorado and making stops in a couple places, including Yellowstone National Park and Glacier National Park. Then Tony and I will fly home from Spokane. Trips are the best, and this will be the best way to start my summer. Not mentioning I'll be off work that whole time. Hallelujah! Of course, not much blogging will be done those days but I will have journals full of our trip and TONS of pictures to share. 

Just praying for safety and good weather, and I would love if you guys would be praying for that too. The Lord will be constantly showing me His glory on this trip. The beauty of Earth is one of the biggest indicators of God's love and passion for us, and I am so thankful I get to explore and see the things He has made for us.

What are you doing this summer?
