I avoid burnout by setting aside time for personal art that I create purely for myself. I have pieces I make at home that I never plan to post or include in my portfolio because they are just for me. Working with gouache in my free time gives me a creative outlet without any pressure or expectations. Read More>>

For me, overcoming burnout started with understanding that I can’t pour into others if I’m running on empty. As a trainer and business owner, there’s always another session, another program to write, another video to film and its easy to stay in go-mode until your body finally forces you to slow down. My faith has been a huge part of helping me avoid burnout. Read More>>

Burnout hits every creative person at some point, especially when you’re up hiking in the dark at 4 a.m. and spending long nights editing. For me, I like to remember why I started photographing in the first place: to give the Colorado landscape the justice it deserves. Read More>>
