Shawn Anderson - Website Photos

Shawn Anderson is a highly positive, driven, motivational author and person! He has published a new book, Amicus 101: A Story About the Pursuit of Purpose and Overcoming Life's Chaos, and is building his new website: www.shawnanderson.com (where you can see many of the photos below!).

Shawn is truly enthusiastic and excited about helping others to reach their potential and gain direction in life. His mission is, "to empower 1,000,000 people to lead a more passionate and purposeful existence." He sends out a free weekly empowerment newsletter, about which you can find more information here! One quote from a recent newsletter I especially like says, "give everything you do an extra dose of your best YOU." I love that simple reminder!

It was great getting to know Shawn through a series of photoshoots, each aiming to capture one of three meaningful concepts: Possibility, Purpose, and Passion.

Shawn Anderson: The Author.






Purpose.
(These were taken at beautiful Marina Del Rey. It was a wonderfully calm, peaceful afternoon.)



Passion.
(This set was done along (and under!) the Santa Monica Pier just around sunset. Shawn is an avid runner: he has run a 100 mile race over 5 days and biked across the US, ocean to ocean, in 48 days.)



Possibility.
(These were taken in the hills at Mountaingate Road, Los Angeles. We wanted to capture the wide open space that conveys a feeling of fresh opportunity and possibility. The view was incredible and the fog rolled in to give it a magical quality. You'd never know we were in LA!)







I think this is an awesome post to start off the new year. As Shawn says, create a great day!
