ENGAGEMENT

Food for Thought

I saw this one movie one time where the father of the main character tells her that everyone has the exact love life they want. I watched that movie like 5 years ago… and I’m still not sure what I think about that statement. But something I do know is that life is made up of a series of choices. We have the choice to love instead of be cynical. We have the choice to take a risk, knowing fully that we might get really hurt. We have the choice to pick ourselves up after a major disappointment or tragedy and keep going with hope that there is light at the end of the tunnel. We have the choice to defy everything we know and feel comfort in for the chance at something greater. We have the chance to live fully and love greatly. We just have to choose it. If these choices were easy, everyone would be a superhero. Life goes by so quick. Love is a choice… but one good love is worth risking everything for. There’s some food for thought…

Here’s a sneak peek of the engagement shoot I did with Billy Jack and Alissa yesterday in San Diego. More to come!
