You know that moment in a conversation when there's just a wee bit too long of a pause?  Yeah, your brain is either in overdrive trying to think of what to say next, or it's stalled out completely... a perfectly blank space of static.  That's been me in this conversation with you!  My last blog post was in 2016 just after arriving in New Zealand for the first time and now here I am approximately 3 years and over 15,000 miles of travel later... kinda back where I started, except not.  So what can be said?  Obviously a lot of life happened in the last little while!  But can it be summed up in a blog post?  Not so much.  So instead of staring at this empty space and wracking my brain for how to re-start the conversation, I'm just gonna dive in!

We're back!  Back in Fort Collins (which is where I was born, just for those of you that might not know this fun little fact).  New Zealand is AMAZING and should most likely make your list of places to visit on planet earth.  Our time there was fraught with challenges, filled with beauty, packed with personal growth and has marked our whole family with a love for that country forever.  It wasn't all glamourous.  We weren't living a lifestyle shoot during golden hour, but it was rich... and don't we often find that it takes a little grit to bring out the shine in a thing?

So what now?  Well, now that we're back in Nothern Colorado Daniel is a freelancing videographer and I'm putting energy back into photography and my passion for creating art, telling stories through photos and connecting with people.  So if you wanna grab some coffee and catch up, let me know!  Meanwhile... it seems appropriate to share a few snapshots of NZ, right?  Cheers!  Looking forward to re-connecting with you all!
