Tamarindo Sunsets
If you’ve ever visited Tamarindo, Costa Rica, you must have experienced the breathtaking view of the sun setting over the Pacific Ocean. Tamarindo sunsets have a flair for drama, washing everything with red and orange before quickly sinking on the horizon. Since the sun sets very early around six, everyone is still up and about to see the spectacle. Nature can be such a drama queen. In looking through my photos from our trip to Tamarindo, I do wish I had carried my camera or my phone around more. This always happens. When we’re in the moment, I just want to let life be and not have the constant need…
OMW: Costa Rica Flight
It’s been a little quiet on the blog this week – I’m in Costa Rica! What a dream. I’ve been surfing every day and exploring the town in Tamarindo, so there’s plenty to share when I’m back in the states and make the time for it.

Can you believe it? Plus, the water is warmer and we…

One of the things I’m working on right now is how to take good SUP yoga photos for the students, so I thought I’d put together a list of SUP yoga photography tips. SUP Yoga Photography Tips Listen. Get an idea of everyone’s favorite pose and remember it along with their name. The sweetest sound to a person is the sound of their own name. While running through an intro about what it will be like on the water, throw in a few ice breakers and invite the students to introduce themselves,…
How to Make a Woven Photo Collage in PhotoShop
Lately I’ve been feeling so inspired by woven photo collages and thought I’d put together a few quick ones in PhotoShop. Digital collages may not look as tactile and impressive as printed ones, but it’s much faster, less expensive since you don’t have to shoulder printing costs, and also cleaner. No mess. The other advantage of collaging with PhotoShop is you can easily move your photo around behind the mask to find juuuuust the right position for it. Cut and woven printed photos take some time and are so final. When I was younger, I used to loooooove cutting up photographs and collaging them together. A budding photographer and soon-to-be…
