Awesome, Brett! The first shot is especially breathtaking.

I have a question – – do you guys develop your own film or have it processed?

so beautiful! what an amazing place, somewhere i’d love to go one day and now even more because of your gorgeous photos!

such a fun trip. let’s go back!

Great job, Brett! Jess and Brett, I love how your family and travel photos always tell a story and invoke feeling. Exactly how photography should be.

PS. Jess, lovin the rainboots, lady.

i must admit that i feel a bit like that lately. I am buried with work and I can’t seam to see the end of it. But there is one thing that inspired me and keep me calm. Browsing through DIY projects and collecting them for winter that i expect to be less busy. thanks for sharing your thoughts. it is refreshing. xx

I think this is a great post, and an even better jester on your part! I couldn’t have written it better myself. As a wedding photographer too I sit in my basement and work away, missing this beautiful time of year. And everyday I feel a little lost by 6PM coming out of my “hole” to make dinner. Then I hear my 3 year say to my 2 year old ” I missed you today Finn! I love you Finn” (she was at preschool) and I know I’m doing something right. Knowing my children love each other and appreciate each other, life, and the world around us, fills my cup back up everyday. I go back to work the next day inspired to edit and answer emails to folks just getting started on the “family” path! Jess I’m submitting this comment as just a pure appreciation for what you’re doing! Not to be entered into the print part-Although I love your work! Thanks for posting something beautiful today! Happy Fall!

As a writer, I am inspired by words. In books, quotes, blog posts, lyrics. But most especially, the words of Proverbs 13:12, “…a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.” Knowing that God cares about my longings and dreams just as much as I do pushes me to continue to reach for them.

Love this post! I have been feeling that way lately as well and no matter what kind of mood I’m in, looking at the wonderful West Texas Sunsets we have on the early fall days inspire me to just breathe and know that even on a bad day, God can use the world to make us smile again.

I’m currently inspired by lots of things right now! The weather is probably what puts me in a fun & productive mood. I’ve been focusing on being creative in the kitchen, cooking foods from scratch like Lebanese food. Trying to focus on not buying processed food thanks to watching Forks Over Knives. I have also been “nesting” as some would call it. After being in our city condo for a year, I’m finally adding pieces that make it cozy & like a home! So much fun!! Love your inspirational photo. Visiting my parents in NC this weekend I was in awe of the colors this year!

I am NOT brown-nosing, but I’m really inspired by all the beautiful images I see on the web, including your space. I dream about beautiful photos at night -poses that may work, locations…and I’m not even a “real” photographer!:)

just like geri and all the rest of us…we sit inside and work.ALL the TIME. the warm and cold come and go. thankfully i at least get to look out my window. and it helps i have a dog that forces me to go outside once in awhile. sad though isnt it? :-/
i love the look of fall. what artist doesn’t?
just like i told ya last night. i’m so burnt out right now, i’m finding it hard to be inspired by ANYTHING!! lol. i’ll get back to you in the spring when i’m rejuvenated. :-D

This question really touched my heart and caused me to reflect on what is daily in my life that keeps me going. What inspires me most currently is my sweet husband as he struggles through his health problems.He turns to me each morning with a smile and a cheerful “Good Morning, love.” He shows such courage and resilience each day. He shows me how a man of faith can face tests and never waver. He is a daily inspiration to me and I hope that I am learning the lessons that his life is teaching me.

I feel it exactly! Busy, busy… With the kids, dinners, appointments, sessions.

I’m finding inspiration in God’s word. Knowing His plan for everything in my beautifully blessed life keeps me working on being a better wife, mother, servant, and friend. It’s easy to skip this quiet time in lieu of things that “must” get done but that is what truly gets me going.

…oops…I should say though that even though it is far-I would love the print regardless. It is beautiful! … :)

Having moved away from family and friends and starting school to be a photographer this fall, inspiration in the sincerest form comes from the love that I feel from those who are no longer living in the same house or city that I am in. The support that they show me day in and day out inspires me to always do my best work. No matter how I feel on any given day, the love and support that I feel from home can push me through the toughest challenges.

I feel like you – the simple things are what I find most inspiring. Brilliant sunsets/sunrises; golden hour light on orange-red leaves; children laughing; a few minutes of complete silence to close my eyes and just…breathe; cheeks cool from early morning fall air; anticipation of adventures. So many things.

This summer I became a mom. I gave birth to my daughter on the 1st of August and she is my inspiration. She inspires me to be the best person I can be!

Last December my sister gave birth to a still born baby girl, and it was a very difficult time for my family. There was a company that took sweet pictures of my sleeping niece. They allowed us to hold onto my niece without having her with us. Those pictures have brought me and my family hope over the last year. Those pictures inspire me to bring the hope of Christ to other families who have experienced what my family and I did almost a year ago. The hope and love of Christ is our strength during our most difficult times in life. I want to show other’s His hope and love through my pictures.

Enjoyed looking at this, extremely good stuff, thanks .
