24- Maui, Hawai'i

I flew to Maui last minute to shoot an elopement. I had visited the island before, but never on my own. I rented a car and began on the Road to Hana to get to the yurt I'd sleep in for the night before waking up for sunrise. After driving for about an hour, I was about half way there when my tire popped. I was completely alone with no cell service stranded in the middle of a two lane road. A couple of minutes that seemed to go on forever passed by and so did a sweet couple who offered their help. They got me to a safe spot, changed my tire and some local men blocked traffic to keep us safe. They asked if I liked reefer and gave me handful to take on my journey. I am reminded that I am always taken care of and protected and that people are inherently good. Grateful is an understatement.

Sometimes I get so lost in the hustle that I forget how far I’ve come and how much I’ve accomplished. If my younger self could see where I am now, I’m not sure she’d believe it. I didn’t know how, but always knew that I wanted to see and capture more of the beauty that the world has to offer. I’m still on my journey to find where I fit into this world, but when I travel I feel like I’m coming home. This collection consists of 35mm photos of places that have felt, just for a moment, like home.
