My mom likes waterfalls, so I took her to my favorite country where waterfalls are more plentiful than people. I hope someday to go there and never come back.

Took a few hours to set up this flowy backdrop (wasn't really sure what I was doing), but @alya_qph knocked it out of the park! Couldn't have asked for a better shoot partner. 💐 If Natalie Portman, Keira Knightley, and Inde Navarrette had a child, right??

It was a dream. ✨

I wish I could relive this day over and over again, but I can’t, so I get to keep these pieces of it forever. These photos feel like little glimpses back into the most magical day of our lives. 🤍

Still feels like a fairytale. 🕊️✨

Izzy and I are visiting Chongqing, China, the city my mother was born in! In 1949, my 20-year old pregnant grandmother — who had just survived the Nanjing Massacre — was fleeing from the Chinese Communist Party to reunite with my grandfather, who had already left for Taiwan with the Nationalist Party. Destitute but determined, she gave birth to my mother under a tree. She then cut my mother's umbilical cord with a rusty pair of scissors she found. Over a couple days, my mother's stomach began to rot and swell abnormally. My grandmother had to find a solution quick, for death was coming to take her second child. It's an incredibly powerful story of one woman's perserverance, love for family, and fight against all odds, but this post is about freshness. It's about elevating the mundane. It's about YOUR masterpiece by Subway Sandwich Artists™.

While walking around, Izzy and I stumbled upon a Subway restaurant here. Their graphic design, advertisements, and souvenirs were top notch — easily the best of any franchise I've come across in the world so far. I do wish they had more vegetarian options as we were limited to just the Veggie Delite. They also failed to carry mayonnaise, which was a big red flag. We opted for Chipotle sauce instead, which turned out to be very similar to Thousand Island dressing (which they also carried). The sandwich itself was not bad, surprisingly, but it didn't quite meet the splendor that other locations have delivered on. 7/10 for my taste test, but a 10/10 for presentation.

Also, that video is of our hotel room here! The front desk staff said she hooked us up big time and gave us the room with the best view, and oh boy did she!

Last photo is of my grandma, taken by my sister with some terrifying beauty filter. But that's what my grandma pretty much looks like now at 98.

Did a dreamy birthday shoot with Olivia that went into the wee hours of the morning. She destroyed my backdrops and got cake everywhere. But in the end, it was so not worth it.

Happy birthday, @olivia_mhill! Go and be free like Jarvis.
