adventurous couples sessions

Spent the morning underwater again with an amazing couple on their honeymoon! Hawaii, you are so beautiful. So grateful for this island home! ❤️
Heading out this morning after a couple big ol cups of coffee to go swim in the morning light with an awsome couple on their honeymoon!! Hawai’i is a playground both above and underwater ✨🐠🐡🐬 I got my dive certification years ago and only used it a couple times! 🙈 any divers out there? I’ve been itching to go again!!💃🏽 PC @meanjoe32 ⭐️
THRIVING TODAY BECAUSE our crazy packed to do list of packing for our big trip/cleaning/editing/sending out galleries /choosing some pretty permanent fixtures in our home 😱 IS GOING RIGHT ON SCHEDULE so that means today I get to focus on some real quality time with my boys. Mamahood is no joke, running a business is no joke, and the two together can be a bit 🤪 So grateful for some time today to unplug and adventure with my two loves. At nap time I’ll put my working hat back on, but for now we’ll be out looking for that sunshine!!!😎😎😎
Feeling a little NUTSOOooOoOos around here!! We had the boys big birthday Then Andrew was gone on a big outdoor trip (read: lots of prep and laundry and gear!) Came back Traded bedrooms with the boys in preparation of the home reno (one of the walls in there is coming down) Then Andrew went on another off island outdoor trip (read:more prep and more laundry!) While he was gone it rained and the weather proofing paper on the roof blew off, and we had a big piece of the ceiling missing and puddles of water. Luckily it stopped raining and I cleaned out all the dry wall chunks and moved the things out from that side of the room. The water actually came in on top of my camera bag with all my gear 😵😵 but luckily didn’t rain hard enough to soak through inside PTL!! The next day I pick up Andrew from the airport and we have a 5 foot long waterfall coming in, annnd another waterfall in the corner of the room coming in on top of the AC unit 😱🙈 Put the boys to bed and McGuyver a tarp funnel bucket thing to catch the water and use every towel we own and our comforter to soak up all the water again. Our 5 gallon bucket was like 3/4 full the next morning 🤣 We now have a few days to pick out all the bathroom vanities annnd fixtures annnnd completely everything clear out the bedroom so that they can tear down the walls. Oh and our big National Park trip is in a few days so we’re sorting through all our snow clothes and making sure we have enough to fit the boys 🤓 and I’m getting all my galleries out before we leave, since I won’t be doing any work while we’re gone (except emails!) Our house looks NUTS with things out from both bedrooms, camping gear, snow clothes, toys/diapers/everything out from the boys room... “Are you excited for your upcoming trip!!?” “Yes!! But I haven’t really had time to think about it!!” 🤪 Passss theeee coffeeeeeee plsssss!!! PSssss 1000% not complaining, these are all great and wonderful and exciting thingss!!! Just crazy crazy all at once!💃🏽 PPS if anyone is feeling discouraged about the state of their home, come on over for a visit and you’ll feel better!!🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
“DO YOU EVER GET ISLAND FEVER LIVING ON THIS ISLAND? Its so pretty but I could neverrrr live here. I’d get way too bored.” Honestly, never ever, nope. In my 14 years of living on Oahu, I still have a ton of places that I want to explore and have never been. There are kayaking/SUP spots I want to explore, dive/snorkel spots, countless hikes, I’ve only been to maybe 5 of our 75438 farmers markets, I have a big ol note section on my phone of cute eateries/cafes to nom at. I think the biggest thing I miss about the mainland is family close by, and being able to do a big road trip and be somewhere completely different (and National Parks all require plane tickets now!) Bored? Chu guys!! I can thank my mama for depleting us of all easy entertainment (aka pretty much no TV, never had video games, PLUS grew up in the country with only one friend 1/4 mile away on our street lol) so we were left to ourselves to find entertainment. We had a lot of tree houses and secret languages and pirate ships on our outside playset and homemade rollercoasters with the bench seat from our Suburban when we had it out XD And had a great time. Don’t live in Hawaii? I’m sure theres a ton in your own neighboorhood!! I’m a 7 on the enneagram as you may know, XD So get excited about things and like to get out and do a lot. So thought I’d share. Here’s a quick lil list that can apply to pretty much anywhere. (CAPTION CONTINUED IN COMMENTS BECAUSE I GAVE YA TOO MUCH)
When Andrew and I were newly weds we used to have music on all the time and dance in the kitchen together while we cooked and then cleaned up dinner. . . . . Nowadays our cooking is done with a one year old glued to our shins wanting to be picked up and trying to keep an eye on our three year old trying to fly off the couch like super man 🙈😱 . . . . BUT dancing is still incorporated in our days and so good for mental health (especially with Andrew being gone!!) ! It just looks a bit different 🙈 we traded in for Raffi Pandora station and Elisabeth Mitchell and is a great way to get allllll the energy out before bedtime! 🤪 bonus too that it’s semi structured so the kids are making a mess. Plus it’s so so fun to see Milo really grow into his own person and his mooooves, and Ben just in awe over the whole thing !😆 . . . .anyone else having dance parties? What’s your favorite thing to dance to? 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
