Kauai Sunrise – Importance of Vacations

I just got back from the beautiful Hawaii island of Kauai where my husband and I celebrated our 15 year wedding anniversary. What a great way to relax and get rejuvenated! When I was in college, I worked for a wine store and the owner mentioned how important vacations were for her and her husband. She said it not only helped with their relationship, but with their businesses as well. She explained that when you schedule vacations, you have something to look forward to as well as refreshed you, so that you could work harder when you returned. Those words of wisdom stuck with me and was probably one of the most valuable lessons I learned in college. I can see why many organizations use the motto, “Work hard play hard!” I hope you are taking the time to schedule regular vacations in your life. If not, start now! I promise that it will make you happier and more productive. Until then, enjoy the image below that I took at sunrise on our last morning of our vacation at our resort at the Kauai Beach Villas in Lihue.

When the weather is not the most pleasant inside, consider an indoor session. This lil’ beauty came into the studio for her first birthday portraits. Celebration with balloons and warmth!

Being in the south, this may be an unpopular opinion, but I LOVE snow. 

This picture was taken in a blizzard down the street from where I lived in St. Louis. Can you believe this was in March, right before Easter?! This is NOT a black and white picture. It just looks like it due to the snow conditions. We already had leaves on the trees, which made the snow coverage that much more magical too. 

Now, I do not miss the dirty, slushy mess that comes after a snow like this, but I do miss sledding, making forts and snowmen, and having snowball fights. 

Hope everyone fares well with the winter storm this weekend.

I know we have all heard about the winter storm that is heading our way this weekend. Instead of thinking of ice, I am choosing to think about the warm beach! 

Sand between my toes, sounds of waves crashing, smell of salt water, ocean breeze, beach hair, birds diving down for their meal and laughter/squeals from beachgoers.
