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!

Sana ‘Ohana

I’ve known Drew and Evina since high school..wait! I’ve known Evina since elementary.  How could I forget she was my JPO boss.  Do you remember that Evina?  We were so cool holding our stop sign and wearing our yellow hats.  Actually, you had a white hat and a whistle and I had the sign.  If I remember correctly Evina was our captain and I was lieutenant.  Evina please smack me back to reality if I was not even close to being a Lieutenant.  Maybe it was me dreaming to have rank amongst my JPO colleagues.

Fast forward about 20 years and we’re grown and have babies of our own.  That still amazes and shocks me at the same time.  I see old friends and think of what we used to be like and what we’ve become.  Some people you grow up with you have no doubt they’ll be successful.  Evina was one of them.  You just knew she was hard working and smart.  She’s a critical care technician in the ICU at Straub.  She also is a Stampin’ up demonstrator.  Check out their new facebook page here.  They have tons of designs but have only recently started to post them.  My first class with them we made 10 cards and I pretty much used all of them.  If you like to make cards then you’ll definitely have an awesome time with them.  Check out the cute little tote bag she made for the shoot.  It’s made to hold cards and it is the most adorable thing.

Drew, I haven’t forgotten about you:)  You were quiet and still are.  Now you’re a soldier.  Drew is away on duty for almost a year.  Talking to him about the weapon he’ll be using and what he anticipates it to be like worries me but not Drew.  He  knows he’ll be coming back to his family.  I’m praying for his safe return.  Thank you for fighting and protecting us.

Here are a few photos of my friends Drew, Evina and their baby girl.
