Dreaming ...

An idea? Hmm … what is it really? Is it only a thought? Personally, I think 'raw ideas' are essentially, dreams that are resurfacing ... it's kinda' like when in our youth, we have these profound ideas, an epiphany if you will, of our lives when we are ‘all grown up’.

We dream big when we are younger … when we have NO idea whatsoever of what it will take to make that dream come true … yet, as we get older and life complicates things, those ‘dreams’ or ‘epiphanies’ seem to resurface because someway, somehow, they make life worth living … they make mornings worth waking up to … and they surely make for something to fight for … to hope for … so come on already! Stare up at the vast sky, and start dreaming again! Who knows … that ‘idea’ could just turn into what you’ve always ‘dreamed’ for!

Downtown Beauty | Robert C. Beutter Park | Mishawaka, IN

We enjoy scouting out new locations to photograph our clients. And while South Bend has its beautiful spots, it's nice to venture outside of South Bend to scope out other locations.

I was recently in Mishawaka and decided to stop by Beutter Park. I had never been there - but we planned a shoot there in a few weeks and I decided to check it out before the shoot. Boy, am I glad I did. It was BEAUTIFUL. It's magical really. The flowers, the water, the art ... rather gorgeous in EVERY way.

It's funny ... when you actually stop to look and take the time to see the beauty that surrounds you, you somehow realize that this world really isn't so bad. It's actually quite breathtaking.
