I have a task for you: go to a playground and swing. I mean it. Leave the kids at home. I want you on that swing. Bask in a summer evening and just play. Hold on tight, move your legs, throw your head back, close your eyes, and go. There is something incredibly freeing about being on a swing. Trust me on this one.

Every month I feature new images for download for you to use as your desktop background. Click to download it and see it at its huge size and resolution.

“It Don’t Mean a Thing If It Ain’t Got That Swing”

I got home and had to get my camera to capture it.“Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.”~ Rabindranath Tagore

Do you know what makes my job the best thing ever? Love.I get to be around people at some of the happiest times of their lives – babies, engagements, weddings. These are moments filled to the brim with family and love. I believe in love because I see it, photograph it, talk to it, and edit it every single day.Love is something that I have believed in since I was very young and in Catholic school.

I believed in it when I lived in San Francisco in 2008 and f ...
