Hi friends!

Hope all is going great!

Something very cool happened back in February:

I was able to not only escape a week of the harsh New England winter snow storms,

but I was able to travel with my little family to the gorgeous and friendly country of Costa Rica

AND

I was blessed to mix work with pleasure, in that I got to photograph that lovely family above!

Talk about an awesome trip!

And for me, a dream come true- as I LOVE meeting new people from all over the world,

and even better- capturing their adventures!

My family and I were staying in Manual Antonio, Costa Rica

and they drove from their Costa Rica home, about 2 hours away, to meet me.

They had booked an awesome hotel, so I met them there first, before heading to the beach.

So without further adieu,

here is some of the fun and love I captured of the sweet Campos Family in Manual Antonio, Costa Rica!

 Thank you again Campos Family!

It was so great to meet you!

Laurenn, the mom actually runs yoga/spiritual retreats in Costa Rica and and Nicaragua!

I LOVE to spread the word about things like this. It sounds really awesome!

I know I have said this before, but when I get to combine travel with my own family and my photography work-

I truly feel I am living a dream come true, as those are my 3 favorite things.

And I want to also say that I truly believe life is what you make it.

I know by reading my happy words and seeing my happy images it may look like my life is always really fun and easy-

but that is simply not true! I choose to make lemonade out of lemons, and I try not to sweat the small stuff.

And I struggle. I fall down, and I get back up again.

I also choose travel and adventure over a fancy car or big fancy home.

Our life is pretty darn simple that way.

I just wanted to make sure I paint a fair picture, and I like to keep it real.

Life is too short not to live it the way you want to.

Thank you for being on this dream journey with me. :)
