Leparole Design Chevron Dress Shoot on Utah Lake

To my tall girls.  Where you at?  

You know that I'm 6'0" tall.  And when you're tall, you don't always have the best options for beautiful, long, lengthy dresses or gowns.  That is, unless you have access to hand-made, high-end designs.  And right now, one of my favorite boutiques totally caters to my 38" leg inseam.

My girl Ashlie over at Twirl Dress Boutique is the only retail shop in the states that carries LeParole Design designer dresses.  And lucky me, I got to dance around the sand in a dress that actually drags on the floor as I walk. #tallgirlproblems

(Keep your eye out for my little humans that wanted to join in on the fun. ;)

First lesson learned from the road of "getting my book published": DONT LISTEN TO THE NEGATIVE. I have received some beautifully positive and inspiring feedback from those that I have shared my concept and writings with. But it's amazing how all the positive comments can suddenly become obsolete when even one comment of negativity enters and totally dominates. And I was totally shocked and disappointed in myself of how it affected me. I'm gonna go ahead and chew on that negative like jerky and use it as a big fat piece of motivation. I have to realize that not everyone is going to like what I have to say and how I say it. But those of you who do, I hope this book eventually finds you. Happy Sunday beautiful people. #self #ignorethenegative #Positivitywins #faceslap #motivation #jerkyisgood
The past few days have been full of all things creative. Photoshoots, late night writing sessions and the beginning stages of getting my first book published. I have no idea what I'm doing but my old-woman self can't be mad at my younger-woman self for at least trying to kick a few things off my bucket list.

Last night we we took our young Jedi's out to the Salt Flats and got lost...on purpose. #bestnightever #disconnect #getlost #moonwalking #adventureseekers #saltflats #wanderlust
It's been over a year since I've shot in the studio. I found little Shakira on the playground and something about her eyes just made me fall in love with the kindness of her heart. It's capturing little people like this and my own children that makes me fall in love with photography over and over...and over again. 📷❤️@nikonusa #nikondf @lensrentals #child #love #soul
