There is nothing quite like the warm welcome of Hawaii’s ‘aloha spirit,’ especially the ‘gathering place’ of Oahu. From visitors enjoying the classic beach vibes of Waikiki Beach, to the leis that visitors receive, the vivid colors of the sunset, and the beautiful sounds of traditional Hawaiian music, it is hard to imagine this place […]

One week ago Wilson and I were on a plane leaving one of the most beautiful islands on the planet! This vacation was absolutely amazing, and I am sad that it has come and gone. However, I have so many new pictures left to share! A couple of days ago, I shared Part One from […]

The first time I really learned about Hawaii was the first time I saw Lilo & Stitch. I was young, and, Hawaii looked like a magical island in the middle of the ocean where people wear hula skirts, volcanos erupt with lava, and luaus happen every single night. A Hawaii adventure has always been near […]

A few weeks ago, Wilson and I hit the road to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina for a fun-filled vacation with my side of the family. My family goes to Hilton Head Island every summer, so I have been plenty of times before, but I was super excited because we had planned a full week […]

We woke up early on our last day in Athens, in order to see all the city had to offer-we did not get much done the day before between sleeping in, photos, and a long lunch with new friends.  TRAVEL TIP: Be prepared to allow at least two hours for both lunch and dinner when […]

Our first full day in Athens, Greece. So exciting! We started the morning by sleeping in, because the jet lag was starting to get to us, then we made our way to our Athens’ photoshoot with Greece Wedding Photographers, Aaron and Tamim Delaney. Wilson and I love getting photos taken when we travel-it is like our […]

Ever since we got married, Wilson and I have put a pretty large emphasis on travel; we believe that great experiences trump material items. All last year, we toyed with the idea of going to Europe. The idea of Italy got thrown out, so did Paris, Greece, etc. As the year went on, it seemed […]

Two weeks ago, Wilson and I headed up to Asheville, North Carolina to shoot an anniversary session; and, since we got tickets to enter the property, Wilson and I decided to make a little day trip out of it. For all of you friends that might not know what The Biltmore is, it is America’s […]
