For the past 13 (yes…. thirteen days), I have been waking up to this every morning.  Sunshine, sand and turquoise water in Grand Cayman. Hello … paradise!

Phil is here getting certified to be a scuba dive master … and I just had to come to visit him before the busy season kicks off. The long, lazy days have been filled with reading great books (4 to be exact), getting some much needed vitamin d, and wandering the island.

I’ve slowed down. I’m relaxed. And I’m inspired.

I’m sad my time here is about to end (I’m making the most out of the last 2 full days), but I’m beyond excited for all the amazing weddings and shoots that are happening when I return to Chicago.
