“The arts are not a way of making a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven’s sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.” - Kurt VonnegutTumblr (3.0; @marisagroff)http://marisagroff.tumblr.com/<p>These delicious desserts were made by the wonderful Melissa from The Cooling Rack!

We did a mini &#8220;coffee crawl&#8221; checking out some cafes and roasters in the area. SSooo many great little nooks and places to see! I can&#8217;t wait to go back. We drank SO much coffee haha. This trip I challenged my self by only taking a tilt shift lens.. one of which i&#8217;ve NEVER used before. yup you got it. brand new -yet borrowed- lens. I&#8217;ve been eyeing one of these up for a while now and was stoked for the opportunity to borrow and practice with one!! So below are my first ever tilt shift endeavors! enjoy ;)</p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/9373859d991d82bc700f43b4b9ef1659/tumblr_inline_mhb5qtfiok1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p>a coffee shop located in the back room of a barber shop?! best combo ever! </p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/4fe75c10546ee418df5b720cf861b50f/tumblr_inline_mhb5kvJmis1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/6151c44b0a1ec837f78d1b9fdfd972cf/tumblr_inline_mhb5mhzcaI1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/36112d49850416f069e293bf30723897/tumblr_inline_mhb5ne7Pmd1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/9ce02ce37a547354ddc7229213cb9d32/tumblr_inline_mhb5nzQSji1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/51abc98ad8b9f14cbe8d9898cf643f23/tumblr_inline_mhb5okjnJm1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/d5016f1f8c9462c86c906ab1d405e438/tumblr_inline_mhb5ph8EYd1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/12d3e4aa886c81e13513cdaf096eaceb/tumblr_inline_mhb5t2ePDI1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/961fe29577b88edf31bb18b6663dd01a/tumblr_inline_mhb5sbqwAo1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/1f1f90c416d40f4f44b9862f54791149/tumblr_inline_mhb5ttdy5Y1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/8e86c347ec15f0950579ed76910a454c/tumblr_inline_mhb5vbJ0Na1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/a1ae82e905ba73bf2b601eda63cef5dc/tumblr_inline_mhb5w4DJ4y1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/47dee4fd57ab926c2f571b73bbffa7b7/tumblr_inline_mhb5xabsx01qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/4759d16e01a54da6c2c30ceae2657b75/tumblr_inline_mhb5zmWKNz1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/ed6b006a81bc8e85b7b8c7fdbf7daa17/tumblr_inline_mhb5xt6bKp1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/5209a55f878d8647574170b63d02f4b8/tumblr_inline_mhb622Uh601qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/cf12d38687997c6e9dd73c82d09dcdb5/tumblr_inline_mhb5z4bunA1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/3925341d5b44c1a5190bf7bf8e4ccb31/tumblr_inline_mhb60kcZJ61qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/ee46715969841871db1624d21adc2e10/tumblr_inline_mhb61eQSxO1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p>http://marisagroff.tumblr.com/post/41652770804http://marisagroff.tumblr.com/post/41652770804Sun, 27 Jan 2013 18:51:48 -0500<p>My beautiful future sister-in-law and her dear fiance.

With over 100 gb of photos it took quite some time to sift through! ..yeah we many have went a bit photo crazy.. And with so many great moments and images it&#8217;s hard to narrow down a blog ;) I had the amazing Sarah Wallensteen assisting me with this wedding. We both have spent the last 18 months together along with dawn (the bride) as part of a team of photojournalists. We&#8217;ve been to multiple nations together, went through intense times as we worked with many different global injustice issues, and encountered God in the immense amounts of beauty and breakdown around the world. I&#8217;ve been privileged to have Dawn has my &#8220;older sister&#8221; and wise teammate all along the way ;) It was such an honor to be flown in to capture this day. I&#8217;ve seen their love endure multiple months apart and one to many skype dates. God has a unique blessing on each of them and i&#8217;m stoked to see where it all leads! Congratulations <strong>Dawn and Will</strong>! After all the adventures we&#8217;ve been on, the biggest and best is yet to come! </p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7zoej1c141qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7zofcLae61qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7zoi4IfE81qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7zowgm3zI1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7zoivsITw1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7zots0GeR1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m81htf9IvA1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7zol1l7ho1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7zp0mAz7j1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7zp1wygJC1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7zp4dKkDX1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7zomq7cim1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7zr3xKJc91qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7zoodeeb11qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7zopfOyzt1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m81i4c8Coi1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7zp83E5ow1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7zorqw31j1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7zpa0PZ1W1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7zpbcmpbh1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7zpcgTLoJ1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7zpgvMt5X1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7zpi4xxXw1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7zpf2oxQJ1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7zpwd0FUy1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7zqcaUT5t1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7zq85GXsf1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7zq9bhkxT1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7zpxsE2pa1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7zpz6wiv61qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7zq0kBpzf1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7zqaucVvs1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7zqntdO5a1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7zqemVbrl1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7zqi4LIqq1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7zqpiMoSp1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7zqsdXa9x1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7zqt7YvAZ1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7zqwqMMEE1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7zqtxc7Tf1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7zqyfbHxZ1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7zqz0E4kL1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7zr0gzXJg1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7zr1hbnxu1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m81hgiRLPa1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p>http://marisagroff.tumblr.com/post/30146693744http://marisagroff.tumblr.com/post/30146693744Fri, 24 Aug 2012 23:11:45 -0400<p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m826nb5GsV1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p>Hooray! Time for part two! The festivities continued after the ceremony with a cocktail hour complete with delicious &#8220;jar-garitas&#8221; followed by the reception, games, and dancing into the night. My personal favorite was the sparklers at the end! Definitely something I want to incorporate in my own wedding ;) This day had PERFECT weather, which made for some amazing light which always equals great images ;) I loved all the little details, especially all the sweet hanging lights. They made awesome stars with a long exposure!

They are amazing leaders, sold out for the Lord and committed to discipling and equipping students. They will be leading outreach teams this summer to India. Greece. London. Uganda. South Africa. Thailand. and Egypt. So excited for the amazing stories and testimonies that will come from that time :) </p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3xrdc6qHf1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3xrdsbJqH1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3xrpxNlmv1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3xrorHbAV1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3xrqlyLVp1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3xrqztfW41qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3xrec5BtH1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3xrfp0tzu1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3xrg1ntzD1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3xrgbDrss1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3xrgklMc81qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3xrhafSyx1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3xri7H2dS1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3xrioK3OG1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3xrj9DN9G1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3xrml55GN1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3xrn5FNPg1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3xrnv0jRJ1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3xrrqzoid1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3xrswQW6V1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3xrtgb6aI1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3xrtrlJgr1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3xrzeAo1X1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3xs00foQB1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3xs0qJzaV1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3xs1cPWY91qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3xs1zaimD1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3xs2j9aqC1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3xs2xN2gH1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p>such a fun and photogenic group :) loved shooting these! </p>http://marisagroff.tumblr.com/post/22937967583http://marisagroff.tumblr.com/post/22937967583Sat, 12 May 2012 20:55:00 -0400<p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3sipuMeDQ1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3sim0UHpW1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3sin3LybS1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3sinj38fU1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3sinu4m4d1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3siogiM771qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3siorM8ZP1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3sit9Dww21qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3sip3Td5G1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3sipcDIFg1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p>http://marisagroff.tumblr.com/post/22765654615http://marisagroff.tumblr.com/post/22765654615Thu, 10 May 2012 00:52:00 -0400<p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3n6328j3B1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3n63ltpBT1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3n64imrgx1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3n6bdfwJ11qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3n68cIHVb1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3n6c6bhi81qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p>            <img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3n6euJKzL1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3n6h8ucQ61qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3n6kdhgGi1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3n701lrKM1qa5hsg.jpg"/></p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3n6thwMw71qa5hsg.jpg"/></p>http://marisagroff.tumblr.com/post/22577674403http://marisagroff.tumblr.com/post/22577674403Mon, 07 May 2012 03:49:40 -0400<p>This lady&#8217;s birthday was the other day so I asked if I could bless her with a shoot.
