“Chance get down!” and “Colton come back!” were two phrases heard quite frequently during this family session. These two boys just couldn’t stop exploring. If there was a wall to be climbed, a rock to jump off of, or a wave to chase, they were on it. In no way were they there for our […]

Surprisingly enough, after spending a few months on the island of Oahu, you begin to feel the need to get off your little rock. So we took a hop, skip, and a jump over to Kauai and visited Waimea Canyon. This little getaway was so refreshing and I was so amazed to see how much […]

Little Maggie had just woken up from a nap. Her blue eyes were sleepy and her hair was a mess. Sometimes, I think that’s when they look most precious. But as she gradually woke up and adjusted to her new tropical surroundings, the joy started to shine through. She began smiling at everything. I squeezed […]

“She was beautiful, but not like those girls in the magazines. She was beautiful, for the way she thought. She was beautiful, for the sparkle in her eyes when she talked about something she loved.

And if you’re planning a vacation, you could argue that food becomes more important to your happiness than your health. Phrases like […]

It’s that time of year! Time for New Year’s resolutions, goal setting, excitement over the promise of a new year, but best of all… time to look back on another incredible year! I’m so excited to share some of our favorite highlights from our 2017 weddings and couples! A year seems like such a long […]

It was an adventure in itself finding Secret Beach on the island of Kauai. After a short plane ride from Honolulu, a quick drive up the coast through quaint beach towns, passed stunning mountain views, and a sharp turn onto a dirt road, I had arrived. There was a small parking lot with a few […]

The holiday spirit was alive and well in my family this Thanksgiving. I am so proud to call this beautiful family my own. My sister Lindsey, her husband Josh, and their precious daughter Sage came to visit from Arizona this Thanksgiving. Not even a year old and this little girl is stealing hearts all over […]

Sweet Carli flashed me a shy smile when I bent down to introduce myself. It was a quick hello because the turquoise water kept distracting her. The waves crashed gently at her feet and she just couldn’t help but run towards it. It was almost as if she belonged on that beach. She danced and […]
