Sharing a personal perspective on what it takes to be a successful photographer including their favorite and most inspiring resources.
La Valencia is such a gem. Visiting this pink paradise is an escape from reality in our own backyard. I first visited this magical hotel when I started SheWanders in 2003 and have made so many wonderful memories there since then. From gorgeous weddings to dinner parties, endless magical moments flood back to me each time I visit. It’s so special to be in a place where I am surrounded by sweet memories. Each beautiful event adds to the last. Happy moments layer on top of each other like a work of art inside my head and it fills me with joy.
I’m in love with the architecture, the views, and the location of La Valencia. This pink palace never fails to inspire me and influence my creative work. I am always inspired by a sense of space. La Valencia is filled with eye-catching lines, dreamy pastel colors and a beautiful vacation type feel. Being at this magical hotel draws out my eye for each of these elements and inspires me to utilize them in my photography.
I am forever grateful to have a place like La Valencia in my life. A place where I feel at home, where I am reminded of happy moments, and which never fails to inspire me and motivate me to create.
