Appreciate the little things. I’m not a fan of these cheesy little Instagram one-liners, but I genuinely do feel like it’s something that I need to remind myself of often. I find myself putting my focus on big picture stuff instead of appreciating where I’m at now. I think it’s important to push yourself and continue to set goals, but I think it’s equally important to stop and appreciate where you are at. This world is full of distractions, and we can easily allow ourselves to look past the great things that are happening right now. For me, being out in nature helps me slow down, reflect, and find that balance.
Today I’ll be taking over the @instagood account and will be sharing a little about myself along with some of my favorite images! If you feel inclined, head over to their account and check out the posts throughout the day

Many of you may have seen this photo from when I have posted it in the past. Full disclosure, this is not my favorite image. But it’s, by far, the most significant. This was the photo that made me fall undeniably in love with photographing wildlife. I have always been a thrill seeker. But after a back injury I sustained while pole vaulting in college, doctors told me to throw in the towel with extreme sports along with pole vaulting and high jump. I felt that a huge piece of who I was had been taken from me and I wasn’t able to do anything that spiked my adrenaline anymore. But then I had this experience. Having never been close to a wild animal, I remember the exact feeling of excitement as the buck walked up to me and stared in my lens. I loved the idea that this animal was untamed and unpredictable. I loved the fact that messing up the shot would result in that moment being gone forever. And I loved that no one would ever have that exact same shot. It was an experience that gave me hope that I could still be insanely passionate about something. It was a turning point in my life, that allowed me to pivot and pursue something I didn’t think was possible.
