The sliding doors at the airport opened and cool air hit my face. As a gentle reminder that, “You’re not on Maui anymore,” I breathed in the smell of crunchy leaves instead of the warm, sweet, floral air. I know it’s not my state and, most likely, I’ll never live there, but my heart aches to get back to Hawaii. There are so many things I miss already. The huge green tropical leaves. The fact that fall is when the flowers bloom. My hair actually having volume rather than being flat and full of static… Of course Maui isn’t perfect – no country music station on the radio and they have their share of social/economic issues… but it is a little slice of paradise in it’s own way.

Yesterday I took the vacation responder off. It felt good to get back into my inbox and plan for this weekend’s wedding! I’m looking forward to the fall! I have a lot of exciting things planned and can’t wait to get started!

While in Maui, I didn’t blog, but some posts went live you may have missed!

This beautiful nautical St. Michaels wedding.

I celebrated 5 years with Chad.

And the most recent, another Marriage Monday about CHANGES.

Coming up in the next few weeks, I’ll have some images from my most recent shoots! A workshop, some DIY highlights, portrait sessions, mini sessions, and a wedding! For now, it’s back to work!

To see more from our trip, stay tuned for the film post… and check out #mauied5years on instagram!
