Happy Friday! Today’s featured member of our Instagram community is Sarah Robinson (@sunshyne.diaries). Sarah’s a professional photographer, model, adventurer and mom of two in Arizona. Her Instagram feed is filled with gorgeous light, fun adventures and lots of sunshine and smiles. She has a huge heart and a genuine love of adventure and the outdoors that shines through her images. There’s something about her photos that always make me feel warm and happy! Here’s a bit more about her and the inspiration behind the pretty pictures.
Favorite outdoor activity to do with your children?
The kids and I love to go paddle boarding and our whole family loves going to the sand dunes in Glamis, California. Read more about our sand dune adventures with kids.
How would you describe your photography style and Instagram feed?
My style is documenting our real-life moments. I try to edit to reality. Clean the images up and enhance them for color and beauty but not overly photoshop or fantasy. I want to remember our adventures exactly how they are.
What do you like the most about Instagram?
I obviously love looking at beautiful photos, but I also love learning about things and places I would not otherwise know of or discover.
Have you made any “real life” connections through social media?
Yes, getting to be part of the Run Wild My Child family! This is such a special connection that I adore.
List three bucket list destinations you’re dying to see?
(1) Lake Powell, which I’m planning a trip to this summer for my birthday. (2) I would love to explore Ireland since I’m Irish. (3) The Blue Lagoon!
Why is it important to you to raise your children to love nature?
Nature is where the good life is. Being outside in nature is where the best memories are made. It’s where you have the most amazing experiences that you will never forget. Nature is where you can learn so much and not even know you were learning. Nature awakes the soul.
What’s in your camera bag and what do you use most often?
I have 2 Canon cameras: Rebel T6 and 80D. I actually use the Rebel more often because it’s my spare. If I drown it (which I have done!) it’s not the end of the world. I save the 80D for clients. Someone once asked me why I take a DSLR paddle boarding with me and I said, “If I don’t take it, it doesn’t do me any good!” My favorite lenses are the “nifty 50” and 35L.
