take a break.

We really love our work, but we make ourselves take breaks. Because when your office is connected to your home, you can work all the time. Believe us, we’ve been there.

But breaks are good.

There’s really nothing better than taking a week away from work, stress, luxuries, and computer screens. We now do this unapologetically for an entire week right in the middle of our busiest time of the summer. It’s a key ingredient in our salve to prevent burnout. And when we return home, we are refreshed and even excited to work again.

Oh, but we really don’t see taking photos as work. It’s our ‘element’, if you will — that sweet spot where your skills and passions collide, a term coined by Sir Ken Robinson — so we didn’t take a break from that. :)

Here is a glimpse into some of our adventures!
