Spent the last few months adjusting to raising a sweet little human, now we’re back!

Had the opportunity to run around St. Augustine with Amanda + Jesse. Right where their story started and love has grown. Creating so much magic. Now we countdown to wedding day!

One of the most influential commercials last night involved memory and photographs. If we take them, images can help us remember any of life’s moments and how we felt. We must cherish their value.
Out of 11 million sensory receptors in our body, ten million are dedicated to sight. Because of this, photographs can make us feel so much.
Your images can connect and anchor you to your memories- in millions of ways. If you have them.

Fun fact, I took over 30 images of these amazing shoes. I was able to pick favorites. Where as, the bee only hung around for one single shot. Became a favorite on its own. 🌿
I feel like this can stand for multiple life lessons. 🍃
One take on it... Good things take time, or no time at all. 🐝
What’s your take?
