Taryn Reid Photography bio picture

Aloha!

Hi, my name is Ashley.  There's a good chance you're confused because of my name and you're on the Taryn Reid Blog.  Alright, let me break it down...TARYN is my middle name and REID is my husband's first name. When I started my business I took both our whole names and smacked it up. flipped it. and rubbed it down. and out came TARYN REID PHOTOGRAPHY!...HOLLA!

I'm appreciative and thankful, I laugh out loud a lot, I love a good comedy, I love to meet new people and I try to stay in touch with old friends (thank you Facebook).  I can talk for hours about the iphone because I think it's the best invention ever.  I'm independent but dependent if that makes any sense.  I'm big on hugs and if you're on a shoot with me don't be shocked when I hug you at end of the session.  That's just how I roll :)

I'm currently working on my website so my blog will have my most recent work.  I'll also be posting freebies if I come across them, giveaways of my own, and random things I feel worthy or sharing.

Mahalo for stopping by!

My Former Boss…|Hawaii Family Photographer|

I’ve known Gary since I was in high school. His family owns Chun Wah Kam Noodle Factory and they gave me my first job.  Thanks to them I was able to pay for my proms and everything else during high school.  I loved working there.  It was a bunch of friends working together and the perk was eating whatever we wanted.  What else could a high schooler ask for?  Ever ate a manapua and thought “hey, wouldn’t it be awesome if they had a sweet potato manapua?” Well, they got ‘em. What about a pizza one? Yup, they got that. What about a plate lunch that has enough to feed a small village…check! Oh, more into home cooked meals? Well they have noodles you can buy by the pound so you can make your own fried noodles.  They’re pretty awesome but I’m sure I don’t need to tell you because you probably already know.  I mean how could you not?? They’ve been around since 1941.  They have locations in Kalihi, Waimalu and Kapolei. Even though I’m no longer with Chun Wah Kam I’m glad to be friends with Gary and try to keep in touch as much as I can.  It’s hard though..Chun Wah Kam is open every day of the year…so order that pan of noodles for your next holiday:)  Thanks Gary and Sharon for a quick session with your family on the beach.  Now, let’s get going on that idea of yours.
