What makes a MOTHER?
I used to think of it in simplistic terms: a mother is one who raises her children. But I now see this as limited.
She is one who GIVES. Period. She is one who gives life, is connected to life and is one with life. In this sense every man, woman and being who gives is a mother.
Today I’m honoring the Mother that is LIFE, that is this wondrous Universe, that is our ONE HEART.
We are all children of this vessel called the Universe, with the same struggles, desires, confusions, longings, laments and dreams.
Let this Mother's Day be one where we honor the CHILD IN EACH AND EVERY US ON EARTH.

Swipe to see our real moments on this mothers day weekend 🏖 🌊 👧🏻

Eeekkkk I got my first Vogue Italia feature and I’m filled with joy 💃🏻💃🏻 (and feeling a bit validated lol 😂 ) swipe to left to see bts of this shoot. I also want to tell that bts videos like this is usually 20% of the REAL behind the scenes.
Here is the 80%: I bought this umbrealla from amazon with vintage summer themed shoots in mind for my clients (More posts coming about my huge prop collection and why I gather props for my shoots )

Then I found this beach on one of my location scouting trips to Newport Beach. This one stands out from other beaches due to uneven sand ground and symmetrical palm trees on the horizon line.

And I started studying visual trends. As a creator here is the question that’s always on my mind: How do I stay relevant AND true to my style in this ever changing visual culture?
I found this amazing presentation on YouTube about visual trends of 2019 and I’ll share all the goodies I’ve learned from that video on my later posts! Stay tuned friends💕

Here comes the KEY part for me (and biggest percentage of the creation) THE POWER OF CO-CREATION! Sharing and iterating on these ideas with like minded people. For me working with @coffeecupsandroses Is a HUGE BLESSING since we share similar visual taste and love getting creative, trying new things, AND challenging each other. What keeps me going every day is the power of CO-CREATION💕
What makes YOU keep creating? So curious to hear your thoughts! .

When EPIC FAIL meets SERENDIPITY✨✨ #storybehindthisphoto
You know when inspiration hits and you have an amazing idea and everything else in life becomes grey. Yeah, this was one of those times where I was hyped about the idea of photographing @professionaltraveler painting in the ever famous poppy field. We stopped by at Hobby Lobby on our way to Lake Elsinore and got an easel, canvas, paint tubes and brushes. Then when we put together the easel (which was surprisingly way more complicated than it looks), the wind was so strong that the easel and canvas kept falling. It became clear that this idea was doomed to fail. (swipe to see our failed attempts). I felt sooo sad and was ready to give up.
Then we noticed this man, just 100 meters ahead of us on the trail with an incredibly gorgeous painting😭😍 (swipe to the 3rd photo to see him painting). I mean what are the odds, right?!
He was so sweet and very generous when we asked him if we could take a couple photos with his painting🤩 This photo was definitely one for the books. I’m glad that our original idea fell apart which resulted in a much better one.
I also think that by going there with an intention and purpose we opened our eyes to the unexpected and let the serendipity unfold.
Have an amazing weekend filled with serendipitous moments dear friends! (Swipe to the last photo to see my inspiration)

How do I find inspiration for new photos when it seems like every photo idea has been captured?
Well, for me I use the REMIX method.
I keep a folder named remix at Pinterest for all the photos, illustrations, color themes, paintings that I love and I visit that folder frequently. Then I play a game of remix where I’d match random elements of these photos with each other just to tickle creative sides of my brain. Then I let my subconscious mind do its work.
Everything we see, hear, watch, listen to, experience, taste etc. are COPIED and TRANSFORMED and COMBINED into new creations and new ideas.
So here is an analogy that I like Conscious mind buys all the groceries and subconscious minds cooks all the meals.
Here is an example :
When I saw this @innikachoo dress it immediately reminded me of a cover of a book that I read to Vera. Then my brain connected these images with the 3rd photo you see on the carousel. There was the photo idea: Me on a cliff overseeing the ocean trying to catch my flying hat.
My dear @Coffeecupsandroses captured what I had envisioned.
Hope this was helpful on creating new photo ideas for your social media content. I’d LOOOVE to know how you come up with new content ideas to shoot? 📷by: @coffeecupsandroses .
