@adam_downs is art 🎨 Today we got into the Museum of Art for free and ran around for 20 min before catching an Uber to the airport. I'll miss this island. Can't wait to share the things I learned from @simonebirch and @aymishi this week and the photos I took ! This magical fog engulfed the mountain top and the sweetest mountain family ✨ Later the mountain surprised us with golden fog which subsided and left an incredible view. My warrior husband in his element. He's a warrior for love, light, and peace. I'm so blessed to be his life partner. ✨ There's no one else I'd rather jump into waterfalls with 💛 "Far over the misty mountains cold" You'll find Barb and Nube, the two purest souls ✨ Imagine walking on the earth millions of years ago...I think it looked and felt like Puerto Rico. There are fern TREES here. I didn't even know ferns could be trees. It's so Jurassic and fresh. I feel as if I'm waking on the earth for the first time. I'm so thankful to be staying with the most precious group of light seekers ✨ Day 2 has been so magical. Geological formation and anthropological heaven 😍 Not pictured here is ancient carvings in the stone from natives. I'll post that in my story! En route to Honeymoon II Puerto Rico here we come ✨ Had lunch with my new lovely friend @katelyn_vines today and was reminded how important creativity and community are for my soul. . When I'm not practicing one or both of those things, burnout is inevitable. Any brain science people have any explanations or reasons why? I'd love to hear. Regardless, it's my main goal to keep burnout at bay and be a happy human by practicing community and creativity daily ✨ Friday feels on a Monday for me because I leave for Puerto Rico this week !✨ It's Adam and I's first anniversary trip, and I can't wait 😻 . I love this photo of one of my fave couples! Excited to take more fun photos like this in the Fall! DM me for my portrait packages if you're interested in a fun lifestyle session! 😊 I love this little city ⛪️ Currently reading: One Hundred Years of Solitude. Currently excited that @becca_breathing has a film camera to play with and teach me how to use. And currently forever drinking crappy cups of French press coffee. Someone send me good coffee 🙏🏼 (@toriamarieward ?) . For those who don't know, this book is a Colombian classic. So I'm excited to finally read this thing. In the first couple of chapters I am loving the complete wonder and fascination for the world that Jose Arcadia has. There's this one part where he sees ice for the first time: "[it was an] enormous transparent block with infinite internal needles in which the light of the sunset was broken up into colored stars...[and] as if giving testimony on the holy scriptures, he exclaimed 'This is the great invention of our time'." . I love the childlike wonder he has for something that we are so unamused with today. . I'm convinced wonder can be learned and practiced. The key is stopping to observe the magical things that are always surrounding us. Carolina & Gino's wedding is blogged ✨ loved second shooting this with @cristinaelena ! Their wedding was so fun, joyful, and intimate. . . . . #colombianwedding #atlantaphotographer #atlantaweddings #portrait #portraitphotographer #atlphotography #adventurewedding #neverstopexploring #optoutside Hey everyone my name is Crystal Anne. Here I am in front of my little house. I live in Marietta with my dreamy golden hearted and golden haired husband. My identity and goal in life is to stay child-like in wonder and emit the light I receive from the Creator. I'm a vegetarian, feminist, humanist, aspiring mountain biker, and avid reader. Family means everything to me. My sisters are my best friends. And my cats are my babies 😻😸. I love connecting one on one with people. And I value peace above all. . I'm taking a moment to tell you all a bit about me as a kind of launch out of my hiatus from Instagram. Along with photos from shoots I do, I'll be posting more photos of my everyday life and passions. . Because 1. I'm not a photography machine, and am trying to step out of that mentality . 2. I truly want to use this platform to connect with people. That being said, reach out to me, connect with me, and be my friend! I'm excited to journey with you 🌱 Moms & Dads are just hilarious.
