FAMILY
Yesterday was our anniversary and we spent the day Yesterday was our anniversary and we spent the day lazing around, running errands, and taking care of our little dictator. We’re tired. Parenthood is exhausting. No fancy dinner, but a shrimp truck on Maui is a pretty solid meal. 😉🍤 Five years ago on July 1st, we said “I do” in Haiku - not the poetry form, but a quaint, tropical village on the north shore of Maui. The island is near and dear to our hearts for many reasons; it feels surreal to be back with our daughter.* ❤️ I’ve done a terrible job of sharing our wedding photos on social media, which is a shame because I’m obsessed with them! Very excited to share many of these for the first time. Our venue @haikumill overflowed with natural beauty and our photographers @greatromancephoto did a phenomenal job capturing every little detail. It was truly a dream come true for a vendor-turned-bride like me, who had been daydreaming of my own wedding day for years and years after witnessing so many couples tie the knot. It’s hard to describe how magical it is to celebrate a new chapter of life surrounded by your family and friends. Instead of me trying to describe it… just watch the last slide. ✨ To Garrick - my personal chef, trip planner, handyman, household manager, & baby daddy - I’m so blessed to be married to you. I know you’ll always take care of our family. I love you and the life we’ve made together. Happy anniversary! *It’ll take a little convincing to get her to feel the same way… she’s asked to go home about 20 times so far 😆 Venue: @haikumill Event Coordination: @khco.events Photography: @greatromancephoto Dress: @misshayleypaige Hair & Makeup: @meiliautumnbeauty Florals: @teresasenamaui Invitations: @papermintpress Invitation Calligraphy: @atiliay
These photos made my heart skip a beat. 🥺 I’v These photos made my heart skip a beat. 🥺 I’ve been trying to figure out… what is it about them that made me feel that way? Maybe it’s her smile - playful, genuine, and inquisitive. Or maybe it’s the shape of that dress, slightly too big on her petite 22 lb frame. Or maybe that’s just what happens when you adore a tiny human. 🤷🏻‍♀️ My baby is now 2.5 years old! I love her more each day. 💕 - - - - - - - I took these at a recent photographer meet up hosted by @photographerssocial ☺️ The organizers created the group to connect local photographers who might not otherwise get a chance to meet. Everyone brought their cameras and had fun networking/taking photos of each other; I spent most of the time chasing after this cheeky little one. 😅 We were lucky enough to be photographed by a few of the attendees and I’m excited to share the results in the near future! #photographerssocial
I blinked and the month of May flew by. Was it a I blinked and the month of May flew by. Was it as emotional and heavy for you as it was for me? I still can’t stop thinking about Uvalde. I was down the street from the Laguna Woods shooting - 0.6 miles away, to be exact. My daughter was napping in the car when the sirens started wailing. And they wouldn’t stop. Everyone in Starbucks turned their heads to see what the commotion was. At the time all I could think about was whether or not the sound would wake my daughter up. Now I think about how close we were to life-threatening danger - and how unfathomable it would be to have been in that church. Or that school. Or that grocery store. I just want to keep my daughter safe. Armed shooters aside, how do we protect her from Covid? The pandemic continues to affect our every day decisions. We test the waters and observe everyone else swimming. What is our risk tolerance today? Anyway, I’m still here. Still taking photos. I’m grateful that although social media does make a huge impact on my business, it’s also feasible for me to step away from it for weeks at a time. I saw a few small business owners share about how it feels to create content when they are surrounded by heaviness, and that resonated strongly with me. I appreciated their openness. It helps to know I’m not alone. 🤍

Have you ever seen a toddler run straight towards Have you ever seen a toddler run straight towards the ocean? 🤣 Most infants/toddlers I photograph don’t like the waves, don’t like the sand, or dislike both! Not this one. We watched our godson run full speed towards the water on this beach day. Thankfully his parents were fast enough to catch him before he jumped in. 😅 #fearless These photos are almost 4 years old now 🥲 But too good not to share… as with so many other shoots that haven’t been posted here. I’m excited to see these friends sooooon! 😘
