    Sunsets in Costa Rica || #FelizFriday 6.2.17

    #FelizFriday Costa Rica sunsets

    Back before it was love at first wipeout with surfing, basketball was my first boyfriend. It took me under it's arms and carried me from my awkward early teen years (one day I'll show you the photos!) and gave me the confidence to grow and wildy dream.

    It taught me the value of hard work and grit.

    It showed me the highs of glory, and it showed me the pain of defeat.

    And most of all, it taught me that in order to get to the summit of a championship game or college athletic scholarship, there was a journey before it - - a journey of countless hours in the gym, thousands of shots in front of the hoop (thanks mom + dad), rehabbing injuries, and team bonding.

    So how fitting that my first boyfriend chimed in this morning with the wise words of Michael Jordan -- just when I needed a gentle reminder + encouragement to keep doing me,
    "It's about knowing where you're going, not forgetting where you started.
    About having the courage to fail, not breaking when you're broken, taking everything that you've been given, and making something better.
    It's about work before glory.
    And what's inside of you.
    It's doing what they said you can't.
    It's not about the shoes, it's about what you do in them.
    It's about being who you were born to be."

    One of the most common questions I'm asked is my journey of becoming a photographer.

    How did I get started?
    Did I study photography in school?
    Why photography?
    How long have I been photographing?

    So how about we take it back, answer your questions, and chat about how my love of photography started?

    Do you hoard digital photos, too?

    If you’re like me, you have thousands of photos on your phone. And if you’re really like me, you have multiple 5TB external hard drives full of digital image files... 🤣

    But you know what?
