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!

Shella & Gerald | Engaged

Friday, July 2, 2010 Posted in Engaged

It’s really a blessing and a curse when you know someone for so long and you get to photograph their engagement and wedding. It’s a lot of stress because you know them and they’ll tell you straight just how bad you suck and put a stop to something wild you want to try out. Thank goodness they didn’t. They may have thought it but they smiled and kept rolling with the punches.

I’ve known Shella ever since elementary school. I was friends with her sister Sancha and spent most of my summers sleeping over their house. We have so many great memories. Thank you to you and your family for taking such good care of me growing up. As I’m photographing you and Gerald I just know you’ll be happy always. Thank you for trusting me and hope you like your photos..Love you guys!
