This is my favourite Earth.
We have a responsibility to ourselves, and one another to take care of our surroundings. Maybe that’s cleaning up trash that should have never been there, maybe it’s reducing your carbon foot print in a way that’s feasible for your resources, maybe it’s tracing the ethical production of what you wear or consume, maybe it’s working to support vulnerable populations and sharing resources with those who’ve had less access... maybe and hopefully it’s a move towards as much of that as possible. I believe that holistic change within our way of life is crucial to truly impact positive change in our communities and environment. . . . . .

Easter left overs, dinner on the porch as the sun went down,hot coffee, a clean house and list full of edits to finish up. Spring is already so good- I can tell it’s gonna be a favorite.
Nearly 6 weeks ago, Jeremy reached out saying he loves my work/design aesthetic and adventurous style, and for that, he wanted me to capture his surprise proposal to his unsuspecting GF. I’m so glad our paths crossed! . . We spent weeks planning in person, over FaceTime, over email. And folks, Sunday was the big day. . . Complete with hundreds of rows of tulips and a hot air balloon rising in the distance (soon to be theirs for their very own private ride), Jeremy popped the big Q. . . After the yes and the ring went on her finger, I let out the loudest YAAAYYY and jumped up from my hiding spot to hug them both and high-five Jeremy for nailing the gameplan. . . I love my job, y’all. I really really really love my job.
When I turned around and saw my kids climbing on this precarious tree, I was horrified and delighted. Horrified that they didn’t see a need to stay off and protect this gravity defying wonder of nature but delighted that their first instinct was to climb it. We have talked so much about “pack it in, pack it out” and “leaving things as we found them” and this was such a great opportunity to take that conversation to the next level. After I took this picture they climbed down and we had lovely talk about visiting & preserving these fragile eco systems. Today is Earth Day but truly everyday is an opportunity to educate ourselves and to be good stewards of our planet. Happy Earth Day!!!
Happy Earth Day, earthlings!🌎 I hope today includes some sunshine and fresh air for you. Nothing revives me quite like soaking in the sunshine away from the hustle and bustle. Nature is magic in that way. Let’s keep it that way! What can you do to keep nature beautiful?
The out-takes can sometimes be the best-takes. ❤️ . . . . . . . .
If there has been anything I’ve learned through my background in biology and ecology, it’s that everything is deeply connected. This planet is a mighty special one with the life that it sustains, the evolution it allows, the relationships it’s formed. It’s hard to convey how much I am fascinated and passionately curious about the world and it’s ecosystems. But I do know that it shows through the work I do as a photographer. I am so full of joy every time a couple reaches out to me because they can see this and that they want to work with someone who cares about justice for the world. Not just for people, but for places and the planet. I encourage you to take steps to live lighter on this earth. One of the easiest steps is modifying your diet to be more earth-friendly or use native plant species in your home landscaping. Happy earth day my friends! There is hope in an age of despair.
It’s finals week at school and studying is going great hahahelpmehaha . . . .

I forgot to make coffee this morning (don’t ask me how that happened), and I’ve had the craziest headache all day. It wasn’t until I went to post this photo that I realized. It all makes sense now. 😂🙈 . . . .

// GIVEAWAY // I am so excited to announce that I am partnering with @jordynglaser to give away an *autographed* copy of her brand new book, "Battle Cry: A True Story of Hope and Encouragement". One reader says: "Battle Cry tells the story of Jordyn Glaser and her family who faced trials again and again, starting from before Jordyn's birth and diagnosis with a congenital heart defect and through her marriage, two high risk pregnancies, and two adoption stories. Jordyn's story is hard, but it's also good and beautiful. Jordyn's positive attitude and gentle humor will leave you feeling uplifted and encouraged by God's faithfulness, especially in hard times. Battle Cry is a quick read, but as the other reviewers said, be prepared to cry." Here's how to enter: 1) Make sure you are following both @jordynglaser and @rebekahleonaphotography here on Instagram (we will be checking this, so make sure you complete this step!) 2) Comment below and tag your family and friends who you think would enjoy this book. Each comment is a separate entry, so get to tagging! Entries will be closed ‪at midnight on April 30th‬, and the winner will be announced ‪on May 1st.‬ Happy tagging!

Hello Monday 🌞 . . .
Happy Earth Day, humans! 🌎 Let’s do our best to take care of our planet and keep it beautiful for generations to come. Every little bit helps!
HAPPY belated EASTER God is so dang good and perfect. Easter has meant different things to me over the years, including: . . . -the day I get to eat all the sugar with basically no limits!! -one of the only times I get competitive and go all nuts getting all the eggs -all the spring crafts (yay!) -church is extra long and extra fancy -quality time with extended family . . . I am so grateful that through God's grace, I am able to learn and know the real and true meaning of Easter. He has paid our debt in FULL, we are free from the sin we have, it is finished, and HE IS RISEN. We can rest and find our ASSURANCE and PEACE through HIM!!!! What a beautiful thing to celebrate. Hope you had a Happy Easter!!!
I have been dreaming about these pickled deviled eggs since this wedding, and yesterday on Easter made me want them even more. Any other deviled egg fanatics?! Well, I would argue that @whitepepperpdx makes the best ones!!
What’re your weekend plans! . . . . . . .
