I’m back home in Northern California, shooting my very first campaign for a client, and I want to create the best possible work I can for them.

So I drove out to Point Reyes at sunrise for the shoot. It’s one of the first spots I started taking photos at while I still lived here, so I know it like the back of my hand. This place feels like home.

After I finished the shoot, I decided to stop by the famous tree tunnel on my way out. To my surprise, the road was filled with the most glorious light rays I've ever seen. Although it's a popular spot, somehow there wasn't a single soul in sight this morning.

I’ve visited this road countless times before, but I have never witnessed golden light this beautiful. I can hardly believe I just stumbled onto it by some serendipitous accident.

Honestly, it felt like a sign. A beacon of hope telling me that I’m on the right path, headed in the right direction. All I need to do is keep going.
