  2. Promise we will go to Hawaii together someday 🌺🏝️👇🏻 Hawaii is one of my favorite places in the world and picking which island to visit could be challenging. Here is a short guide to help you pick: 1️⃣ Big Island (Hawaiʻi Island) An island of pure variety. See active volcanoes inside Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, wander lava fields that feel otherworldly, and relax on beaches with black, white, or even green sand. 2️⃣ Maui Waterfalls, bamboo forests, and endless views. Drive the iconic Road to Hana for cliffside curves and cascades, swim beneath hidden falls, or catch sunrise above the clouds at Haleakalā National Park. 3️⃣ Kauai Home to the legendary Nā Pali Coast,towering ridgelines best seen on a sunset catamaran, a helicopter ride, or from the Kalalau Trail. Explore hikes like Awa’awapuhi or Sleeping Giant, then unwind on beaches tucked beneath emerald mountains. It’s Hawaii at its wildest. 4️⃣ Oahu City energy meets island adventure. Wander Honolulu’s food scene, relax on Waikiki, then escape to ridge hikes like the Koko Crater Stairs or Lanikai Pillbox. Surf breaks, turquoise water, and sunset vibes everywhere. 5️⃣ Molokai Quiet, grounded, and deeply local. Meet some of the warmest communities in Hawaii, explore the soaring sea cliffs of the north shore, or visit the historic Kalaupapa Peninsula for a glimpse into the island’s past. A slower, more authentic escape. Hawaii | Oahu | Maui | Kauai | USA | Travel | Roadtrip | National Park | Hiking | Waterfalls | Travel Guide | Travel Inspiration . #kauai #travel #hawaii

  3. Less than an hour before 13-year-old Abby passed, I met up with her and her mom, Katie to memorialize their great love. We had just about 15 mins to capture these memories before Dr. Jason of @lapofloveveterinaryhospice arrived- this was the quickest shoot I had ever done. Due to her condition and decline, things happened very last minute and fast. I was worried about the quality of photos I’d be able to get in that short of a period of time. The intention behind sharing the short duration of the session goes to show how pure their love is. And how effortless is way to capture SO much in such a small time. But let me tell you: even 30 seconds with these two and magic could have been captured. Within those 15 short minutes time it felt (to me) as if truly stood still while watching them. The only two beings in the world in that time were Abby and Katie. They soaked up each others love, snuggled on the side walk, and sat amongst the tulips in their yard while the set sun cast a golden light upon them. With the greatest love, comes the greatest grief. A culmination of years of friendship captured in a handful of vulnerable, raw moments. I leave you with a few words Abby’s mom shared about her: “She turned 13 the day before passing. Her favorite activities included the beach, following her nose wherever it took her, digging in the garden, treats, and belly rubs. She was kind-hearted and gentle, forgiving and just an all-around happy girl. She came to me when I was 19, and she 1.5, and stayed by my side through every up and down since. She has been my best friend and companion for the last 12 years. She fought bravely and courageously throughout a difficult battle with lar-par/golpp, in addition to renal and arthritis. But even on her last of days, she spent it running on the beach. Her body may have been failing her, but her spirits never did. “ Thank you for sharing this time with me, Abby and Katie. 🧡 #endoflifepetphotography #thetillyproject
