hailey .

I hate coffee that is not Starbucks ... I prefer a real book over an electronic ... I drink lots of sugar in my tea ... I have an extensive collection of fairies from my mother & family ... I'm in love & married to my film cameras ... My favorite colors are turquoise & gray ... I love to capture life as it happens ... I know every taylor swift song ... I want 12 kids ... I love to help & give advice .... I color outside the lines ... I love to blog, don't you?

My name is Hailey. I am a photographer planted knee deep in the Cali sun. I also spend my days in God's backyard. On B.C. you can expect to find photographs from recent shoots, craft projects, books by me, and the real life struggles & triumphs of me. The hope and goal of my little niche of the web is to inspire individuals who aspire to live a creative lifestyle as much as myself.

  I'm really just a small town gal who sees things better with her eyes closed. Loving late night talks, wildflowers, all forms of music, modern art, everything American Eagle touches, creative writing, honesty, kindred spirits, spontaneous endeavors, all things mint, morning light, positive outlooks, pretty quotes, and striving to live a simple lifestyle.
   My heart belongs to my darling family, lovely friends and foremost Jesus Christ. 

family means more to me than the clothes on my back & the roof on my head.

what we need....

 with every new day comes new people, challenges, hopes, & dreams. and all these things are actually needed daily, in our lifes. we grow as people with each challenge and each new day!

support | with the new things in our life's, we could use our friends & family as support. when we have support we get a really good feeling & actually want to accomplish it even more. at least i do! when i get reassurance from a friend or family member i feel that they are proud of me for even trying! that is worth all the hard stuff that i had to go through to get to my destination!!

energy | of course!! we couldn't do a lot without energy. and that comes with the excitement of new projects & a lot of inspiration from others! :)

love | it simply brings us closer to others. it fills our buckets with hearts filled with hope. love can heal a lot of things. love is a beautiful, tragic thing in life! it can make life worth living & fighting for.

clarity | that is a big one! even though life isn't always black and white, there is always clarity. it doesn't matter how many people you had to ask before you got the clarity. you got it. you made your life easier because you now know what you want & need.

inspiration | it's what drives us to make beautiful, pretty things in life! it is the energy juice we all drink at least once or twice a day. 

peace | of mind, soul, & body. it can bring much happiness you to and others! when you are calm you can see that others around you become more calm and peaceful with the situation. once they see you being peaceful & relaxed they can finally become their true selfs!

a hug | warm, calming, loving, gentle, blessing hug. who doesn't want a hug??

comfort | you can find comfort in the known and unknown. you can be comfortable in all walks of life if you just try. comfort is something you really can't buy. i know i know, what about my fuzzy blanket that makes me comfortable every night?! and what about those slippers that make me warm and cozy every movie night?! well, think about it.. it is really comfortable or is it just warm and cozy? when you wear them does your mind and soul and emotions feel a sense of home or a sense of zen? i know mine doesn't. maybe yours does. keep it & treasure it!

motivation | my motivation is angie, i talk about her often on this blog. she keeps me inspired, motivated, peaceful, and fills me with love!  { it also helps that she gives splendid hugs!}it is wonderful to have a quote that motivates you or a friend that you can count on to motivate you before meeting or a big test. they lift you and give you confidence you thought you would never get! :)
