Embrace the Unexpected: Embracing Change and Juggling Life's Adventures!

Greetings everyone! Apologies for my absence, but guess what? Life took a surprising turn, and I find myself back in the corporate world! To be honest, I always had one foot in the door, but returning full-time to the world of politics, stress management, endless meetings, desk sitting, and handling people was unexpected, to say the least! πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ It'll be a challenge not to gain a million pounds, especially with the hormonal changes that come with this stage of life... πŸ˜…

But fear not, I haven't abandoned my passion for photography and exciting adventures! It's like oxygen to me, and it has become my source of relaxation amidst the busy schedule. Although there's less time for it now, I'm hopeful that things will settle down soon, allowing me to cut back on hours and commitments. 🀞

Now for the silver lining... This job has opened doors to professional growth opportunities. The challenges are numerous and diverse, providing a chance to exercise different skills. Amidst the chaos, I've managed to safeguard a portion of my precious "creative" hours. Here's what's still going on:
- I've maintained my contract with the fantastic team at PSIA West.
- Currently, I'm in negotiations with a new client.
- I'm determined to stay connected to my ski teaching and coaching responsibilities, although it might require some adjustments.
- I'm finding small pockets of time to revamp my print shop now and then.
- Plus, I'm excited to share some updates on Instagram, starting with a photo dump from my amazing trip to Austria in April.

Speaking of which, rural Austria absolutely stole my heart! Can you blame me? 😍

Friday, Monday... This season is wild for me. Days off are rare and random.
I spent the last few days on the road, coming home for a bit and about to leave again, going from one resort to the other with Moja my camper ().

But this is not me complaining....no! I'm so grateful that this, over here, is one part of my office 😍 This environment is where I shoot, this is where I teach and where I coach.
We had some crazy weather in the past weeks, and this cold morning where I shot at I froze my fingers a couple of times yes, but I wouldn't have it any other way, ha!
Cheers to winter, cheers to this beautiful sport!

More people are going ultralight than ever beforeβ€”and there's more good gear out there for them, too. Three ultralight gear pros take the temperature of the rapidly growing category.

Ending this first day of 2023 at with these gorgeous views 😍. FOUR feet of pow today for the lucky ones who got to shred early! Although I usually coach for our high school ski race team on Sundays, I’m glad I was able to help out at my ski school today, where all the mini shredders got to learn this beautiful sport that is skiing/snowboarding! β›·πŸ‚πŸ’ͺ🏻
HAPPY NEW YEAR folks!
