Frantically packing our bags as we're heading to Galiano tomorrow (right after we shoot a wedding) to shoot an elopement & will be staying until Friday (well Kels will, morg heads home on Tuesday ). Can't wait to visit our home away from home, soak in some vitamin sea (editing at the beach anyone, why not) and do a couple of shoots while we're over there.
Just booked 12 days at Galiano this summer in between a couple of weddings we'll be shooting & I literally CANNOT wait! Last summer we had weddings every, single, weekend, and I am SO grateful for the work that we had, but it left very little room for work/life balance. One of my biggest goals for this year was to implement practices & systems that would allow for more of that, which includes marking time off onto our calendars in advance, otherwise it simply will not happen for us. .

What is one thing you do to help yourself have a healthy work/life balance?
You may not know this about me: I live my life online. Okay, that you knew. When I get to be offline, I revel in it. This is me, no makeup, chillin like a villain on an island with no wifi last week. Happy. ❤️ #me #love #socialmedia #smile #cute #life #fun #lifestyle #instamood #like #happiness #nature #photo #happy #easy #gulfisland #digitaldetox #bowyer #chill #weekend #relax
"To fear love is to fear life."
~Bertrand Russell
.
It's incredible to discover how some people build walls around their hearts, believing that by not allowing themselves to be fully vulnerable and fully emotionally available, that they can protect themselves from pain in a relationship. But fear to love creates a yearning ache, a gnawing void that's more insidious than a full blown heart ache. That's no way to live. Despite having experienced heart ache in the past, I open my heart to love, because anything less is dulling the depth and richness that life is. I do believe in the power of love, for myself, for the Universe, for nature, for this planet, for others, for dear friends and family and my future beloved. And a big part of self love is doing the things I love to do, which make me very happy, like kayaking!
