DRIVEAWAYBOY OUT NOW 🏁

Listen to DRIVEAWAYBOY everywhere and watch the official music video on my YouTube channel! Shot by my dad and me in St. Louis, this video was such a fun one to bring to life. I hope you love the beginning of this new era as much as I do. Get ready because Kyle and I have so much more coming very soon!! Xx

I used to start a timer.

“30 minutes of pulling weeds in the garden, then you can be done.”

30 minutes in 80% humidity. 30 minutes of sweating your god damn ass off. 30 minutes of mosquitoes and dirt and “why can’t the neighbor mow his lawn?” 30 minutes, then onto the next task.

Go. Go. Go.

My whole day was gloriously productive. Start the clock, pull the weeds, send the email, edit the photos, post the carousel.

Go. Go. Go.

“How can I be more efficient? How can I book more weddings? Should I post more?”

More. More. More. Faster. Faster. Faster.

A funny thing happens, though, when you forget to start a timer.

You slow down. You start to savor. You remember more. You begin seeing magic where there used to be mundanities.

Your emails still get sent. Your couples are happier because they had time to cement their memories before being tagged in an Instagram post. You didn’t need AI to edit your work or write your thoughts.

Your face still sweats. The weeds get pulled.

Slow. Slow. Slow.

This year I stopped trying to be so damn efficient. I stopped sending preview galleries to my couples. I stopped sharing my work on here immediately after the photos are taken. I wait, and wait, until i actually have something to say.

I started taking my camera with me everywhere. I started caring more about WHY I do this and how I can show up as the best version of myself.

The clock stopped. The art began.

Slow. Slow. Slow.

There is no better feeling in the world than seeing your daughter engaged to her person. Aaron pulled off the most epic engagement and surprise party Friday evening. Besties and all 4 families/siblings gathered to celebrate them - despite Aaron having an emergency appendectomy/ rupture 4 days earlier. A soon-to-be son-in-law that is the most kind, generous and thoughtful soul. Chris and I are thrilled. The moms of AA are ready!

This book was a Christmas gift for my parents this year (well, a much longer, less social media version of it). I never expected I would feel the urge to share it with anyone else besides them.

After seeing my parents’ eyes mist over as they rediscovered our memories, after watching my friends pour over the pages as we poured more wine, after I ordered myself a copy for our living room…I realized I am incredibly proud of this body of work.

Maybe one day I’ll share the whole thing. Maybe I’ll print more copies. Maybe you’ll read it all or you’ll scroll right past and unfollow my page entirely.

But whatever you do, keep swinging at that piñata. The break is coming.

The devil couldn’t reach me so he sent you up instead…. Out now. Written with fantastic @blakervby and produced with the goat @aaronmuckala mastered by @danshike I hope you love this song as much as I loved writing it. There’s something really specifically painful about knowing a girl and knowing that she’s trying to intervene in your relationship. This is part fiction but mostly true, I wish her well, everything makes sense in hindsight but I hope it is cathartic if you’ve been through a similar thing. Lots of love, make sure to presave the album and we’ll talk soon xx maya
