Snapped by the legend @davidniacaris himself as I showed him the epic Carlsbad sunsets last night.
I’m gearing up for another HUGE trip - do I have any followers from Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Singapore, Phuket, or Hanoi areas? DM me! Looking to connect with some locals!!! • • I know the location of this hidden waterfall in Costa Rica. Little gems like this are part of why I love travel so much. • #emirates #uae #abudhabi #dubai #singapore #phuket #thailand #vietnam #hanoi #halongbay
Putting together the details for another Trip Around The World. Leaving in 1 week - circling the globe over 12 days. I am so so grateful for the perspective I gain on these trips - on people, life, and what really matters. Time and time again - I’m blown away by the kindness of strangers - and the amount of good will there truly is in the world. Don’t believe everything you see on TV - the things we all have in common are so so much greater than the things that separate us. • • #lifeofadventure #letsgosomewhere #livefolk #freedomthinkers #exploreeverything #wanderfolk #folktravel #finditliveit #visualwanderlust #neverstopexploring #keepexploring #exploreeverywhere #welivetoexplore #theoutbound #adventurevisuals #keepitwild #wildernessculture #exploretocreate

💯 married up. Clearly this pic is from before @jesssteingard had the baby but this picture just reminds me of something so important. We actually worked really hard to get this picture - it was hard - Grey was happy for a second and then grumpy. He would decide he wanted something dangerous (like a sharp knife) and would freak out if he didn’t get it. In this photo Jess is doing everything she can to distract him and make him happy. But you know what’s funny! When I see this photo, I don’t think of any of that. I think about how joyful Grey tends to be, and what a wonderful mom Jess is. This picture is an example of the fact that we have the power to let the negative stuff fade into distant memory - and habitually remember and hold on to the beautiful things in our lives. • • #familyfirst #familyiseverything #familyforever #thepursuitofjoyproject #theartofslowliving #verilymoment #seekthesimplicity #littlestoriesofmylife #livethelittlethings #inspiremyinstagram #thatauthenthicfeeling #nothingisordinary #feelfreefeed #thehappynow #makemoment #momentsofmine #darlingmovement #makeyousmilestyle #choosejoy #seekthepositive #makeitblissful #meetthemoment
This little man is taking some time to adjust to having a sister. Funny enough - he’s so sweet with her - it’s me and mommy he seems to be upset with! Haha. But we are slowly and surely finding our new normal. I love this kid more than I ever thought possible - even when he’s hitting me in the face and dumping out the food I make him while starting me right in the eyes. So mean! Haha!
#run4rowen This morning Jess and I ran for Rowen - a 3 year old daughter of our friend @joshauer. Rowen is fighting for her life in hospital at UCLA as she is potentially in need of a heart transplant. We are praying for her recovery - and we are raising money to help the Auers through this difficult time. Link to go fund me in my profile for the next 48 hours!
Dark. Moody. @zachwilliams and @veritasguitars - loved shooting this image of Zach with his custom made Veritas guitar. I’m actually giving away the Lightroom preset I made when editing this image, and a matching LUT for grading video! DM me if you want em - and tag someone you think might be interested. No catch. Free! • • #freepresets #lightroompresets #moodygrams #moodnation #guitars #zachwilliams #ccm #christianmusic #presets #lightroompresets #giveaway #free #lut #freeluts #canon #canonusa #canon1dx #canon1dxmarkii
I’m having a blast giving away this matching video LUT and Lightroom Preset from this shoot with Zach Williams this week. I am amazed with how many of you are interested - and all the great video/photo related conversations I’m having along the way - maybe I should do this a lot more?! What do you think?!
