Welcome to the New Blog!!


Greetings from Florida!


Here's the rundown. I previously had a photography business based out of Honolulu, HI called Jacquie Ryan Photographic. I've recently moved to Florida and I decided to start a new photography company to showcase my new life.

The new name, Project Life, is a play on words. I want to project the people, the love and the life that I see all around me. This business is also a life long project of capturing the beauty and the life I see in this world. So that's how the name came about. :)

Currently I'm not focusing on photography as a full or part time business, it is simply and wonderfully a hobby. As my primary job settles down, I may make the dive into doing a few photo shoots here and there, but I'm enjoying photographing things on my own time right now.

Lately I've just been taking photos of the things I come across, not so much people which has been my specialty in the past. I love photographing people, but I figure that this is a good point in my life to venture out and test my creative skills in different areas. I want to be diverse, but I think that I'll always be the most satisfied when capturing people.

I've posted several of my blog posts from the old business name below, but be sure to check back in for newer posts. It's going to be a great year! :)

Cheers!
Jacquie

Wainwright Family

I recently did a family photo shoot for the Wainwright's up on the North Shore. This field and road location is one of my favorites to work at, and I was really excited when I saw the props that Lia & Jason brought along for the kids. Sarah and Matthew are both explorers and loved the open field. I followed them around and snapped pictures of them catching bugs with their butterfly nets and holding them captive in their mason jars. It was so cute. They are both such sweet, fun loving kids and I had a great time working with them. I hope you enjoy looking! :)

Both Sarah and Matthew have the most beautiful big brown eyes. I love it! :)











The explorers... :)













If you've lived in Hawaii and have kids, I know you've seen these dirty red feet before. ;)

Berry Family

The Berry's are so fun to work with. This is the second time I've worked with them and the first time little Trenton joined us for the photo session. We did the photo shoot at Lanikai Beach and even though the weather was overcast, we made the most of it. Overcast skies make for such beautiful even natural light, and it works perfectly for fair skin people and babies with sensitive skin. This is another family who has a Daddy deployed right now. I hope that these photos will warm their hearts and make the deployment a little more bearable. Enjoy browsing! :)

I love his eyes. Aren't they stunning! :)







He's cute and he knows it. ;)




















Cave Family Photos

Ryan and I worked with the Cave family last year for a family session on the windward side. I had the pleasure of working with them again this year and we did the shoot up in Haleiwa. The kids have grown up so much since I saw them last, and we had a great time walking around the small town taking photos. Jason left a few days after the shoot for a year long deployment with the military. I hope these photos will help to keep Daddy close to all of their hearts while he's gone. We wish them the best during this deployment. :)

Sloan's Cowgirl Birthday Party

Sloan turned two recently and had a huge cowgirl birthday party so that she could celebrate the day with all of her friends. It was one of the cutest toddler birthdays I've been to. Everyone one was having fun, not just the kids... that's how you know it was a good party. :) They had pony rides, cowboy hats, a jump house, lemonade, a HUGE slip'n slide and an adorable pony birthday cake. I had so much fun at this event! I hope you enjoy browsing! :)

Sloan liked the jump house. :)

Isn't she adorable!?!























Sloan's present from Mommy. She's gonna be the coolest kid on the block for sure! :)

Everyone helped with opening presents. :)
