Abby || Spring Lupine

Abby and I had so so much fun this last weekend. Everything is green and beautiful! Spring has seriously sprung in the valley and the hillsides are patched with lupine. We shot mid morning just before the afternoon rain started. The light peeked through the clouds while also creating a huge reflector. Some classic Idaho weather... April showers bring May flowers!

You are always exactly where you need to be.

This past weekend I didn't have any plans, it was rainy, and I just wanted to stay inside and catch up on sleep. I ended up getting out of the house and drove around and adventured with my cute friends, Indie and Amy.

Indie and I drove out Croy Canyon in hopes of Amy replying to come adventure with us. Before we got the "go ahead" to go pick her up, we passed her house and started down a street that turned into a dirt road. As we drove up, the hillsides were patched with lupine... the mountain looked purple! (secretly I just wish the lupine would take over all of the mountains and replace the sagebrush ;) So we stopped along the road and hiked up to go play and take pictures in the flowers. A woman was out in the field and turned around when we got out of the car. She seemed like she was the owner of the house just down the road and we asked her if we could take some photos. She said of course we could and offered to take a few of us together too. I was nervous at first if she was going to let us take photos but we were both pleasantly surprised by her response! We stayed a little longer enjoying the flowers and photographing each other on our phones. We ran down to the car and on our way she exclaimed, "You two are so beautiful, have a great afternoon!" As we started driving down the dirt road, the lupine lady was running to meet us. We stopped, rolled down the window, and she told us to open our hands and gave us each a pocket angel and assured us:

"You are always exactly where you need to be."

Indie and I were so moved by this wonderful lady being so sweet to two high school girls who she could have easily blown off. I truly believe that the energy you exert and what you believe to be true becomes your reality. It's most important to spread the love and only the good vibes because why not make others and the world a more welcoming, happy, and lively place?

Life is too short to not surround yourself with people who truly care about you. So smile, embrace, laugh, hug, kiss, grow, love, inspire, learn, and spend time with those who make you feel lucky to be alive.

Track at Canyon Ridge

This was an AWESOME meet! Everyone worked together and fought hard for their placements. The track team is full of inspiring individuals who want nothing but their bests. Here are a few images that spoke to me. Excited to share with the runners, families, and you.

Track in Jerome

Yesterday was one of the first track meets of the 2016 season! This year I have decided to follow the team and document - in photos and video - the best moments. My goal is to have a slideshow accompanied by a short film of the highlights for the runners. Here are few images that I love and edited on my phone on the bus ride home. Truly a great group of people and this only shows a fraction. More action shots coming in the future... I find it easier to video the events. ;) This is a huge learning experience for myself and an opportunity to upgrade my style and portfolio. Excited to see what comes of it!
