how silly is it how much we value when someone just taps twice on a screen for us? . truth is, the number of likes/followers annoyingly + unfortunately does in fact affect me. it kind of comes and goes in seasons. but i am here to tell you that the number of likes you get does not depict your worth (or your skill/talent for all you photographers/creatives). . we get in this trap where if we hit a certain number we feel good + important + values. but the truth is that letting yourself feel good from a number is still basing your worth off of it. don’t let yourself feel bad from a lower number or good from a higher number. give yourself freedom and permission to love your art and love yourself. self-care when you’re on this little app everyday is so important. . i try to make my bed, eat breakfast, listen to worship music, + journal all before i touch my phone in the morning. what are some things you do for your mental self-care?
i gave up way too much bed space for my dog last night.
k but DOES TIA LOOK LIKE A FREAKIN ANGEL or what?

yesterday was BEAUTIFUL. shana and trevor got married in an amphitheater on a campground and tore up the dance floor with their friends at their little town’s country club. p.s. this photo was taken on a baseball field. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
get yourself someone who makes you laugh like this 🙌🏼
it’s really hard to convince myself to not eat tacos for every meal. 🤔🌮
when mom and dad get married 🐶 // speaking of dogs, yesterday while jonny was running on a beach in mexico, a rottweiler jumped at him and bit him under his right buttcheek. the owner ran away and ignored him. we flew home a few hours later and it was straight to urgent care and then the ER for rabies shots. so you could say it was an exciting end to our vacation. 👍🏼
hey Cabo, you’ve been lit. but the redwoods are calling me home. 🌲
burned some hair off last night in cabo due to some crazy sparklers. 👍🏼🎇
