we've finally caught up to the rest of the world

Aside from the obnoxious teenagers and way too many people, last night SLC got to enjoy Bon Iver and Jenny Lewis.  It was a splendid time once we could breathe and see.  I attempted to document the experience as best I could with my little PowerShot. . .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i heart FFFFOUND!

FFFFOUND! is quickly becoming one of my favorite blogs/websites because I'm guaranteed to see something that will either inspire me or that I'll get a kick out of.  Plus, more pictures, less reading ; )

For example. . .

Away We Go

I've been on blog hiatus the passed few weeks. Out of town, working a ton and there's been almost too much to process to write about anything.  However, I just saw the preview for Away We Go, and its still tugging on my heart strings. John Krasinksi. . .life lessons. . .Alexi Murdoch. . .love. . .that freaking art work is epic. . .and Sam Mendes is possibly my favorite director of all time. Why have I not heard of this movie before now?

I think I have my 4th of July weekend cut out for me : )

this is how it works

I should be in bed considering I could barely open my eyes all day today. I was going to expand on what both of the following artistic endeavors are inspired by, but my computer is slow and I have another shoot in the morning.

So I'll just say this. . .

During one of my recent moves I found an old Care Bears coloring book. Either I'm a genius or a pack rat, cause its awesome and is going to function as a way to express my learned cynacism.  Here is the first (it kinda sucks, or I'm just cynical). . .

 

On a more serious note, I'm in the process of uncovering my hidden commitments. It isn't pretty and I kind of wish I was already in the breakthrough stage, but alas, just being with it. . .

Ladybird

This weekend I had the pleasure of photographing a goddess. . .My favorite yogi and dear friend Jami Larson. We headed out around 7 AM on Sunday morning with coffee and croissants, and two hours later arrived in the dream land known as the Salt Flats. I contiuously kept thinking the salt was snow, even as we roasted in the sun. . .and we had a brief encounter with an adorable British hunk who had been on a motorcycle since Boston and was on his way to San Francisco. An angel maybe?? He told Jami she had a ladybird in her hair. It was magical. . .

 

 

i had a dream i stood beneath an orange sky

My cute little sister just returned home from Southern Utah this past weekend and I couldn't help but post some photos. . .

{Emily + Charlie the baby goat & Draper the baby horse}

{who knew goats were this cute?}

{first meeting. . .obviously they're related}

{Avery!}

{Avery + Dad}

presh presh. . .

I love my family :- )

 

from twilight to twilight

Now that the weather is amazing, I've been taking little walks and bike rides around my neighborhood in hopes for some inspiration.  A few days ago I ended up at the Salt Lake Cemetery and inspiration was everywhere along the way. . .

{What is it about Airstreams?}

{I might consider going to church if its at a church this cute}

{one of the reasons I heart Salt Lake}

{grace}

{wisdom}

{beauty}

{I'm in awe by how much haunting reverence and beauty can exist in one place}

next on the list

This is my dream ring. . .

I'm only a little addicted to v-necks. . .

alone or as a set, these are magical. . .

 

Well, I've finally gone and done it. . .

My blog has a new home so if you happen to subscribe to or check it on occasion, please update your bookmarks and feeds! My website has been alive and well for a while now so I thought it was about time to host the blog from there. I'll also be using it for more of my own artistic updates instead of only random inspiration.

Thanks peeps!
xoxo

I'm looking up into the sapphire tinted skies

A quick update. . .

• I'm getting my passport this week!!! And I have some new ideas for letting my travel junkie loose.

• I got the bike out this weekend. . .she needs some love but I'm so excited to get riding! In a couple weeks I'm going to tackle the Legacy Parkway trail from Salt Lake to Farmington, do some birding, and take some photos.

• The Commitment Seminar starts Thursday! Seeing as how I could use a dose of commitment, I'm pretty stoked.

• Paul Van Dyk is coming to Salt Lake June 13th! The anticipation can't even be described.

Other than that, the weather has been amazing, even right now. . .its raining and smells like summer! I can't seem to get enough of hanging on the porch with beers and friends, walking around the Avenues, outdoor festivals, and daydreaming. Its going to be an epic summer. Now if I can only make it slow down a little bit. . .
