• I have the cutest dog, ever. She’s become increasingly more vocal in her golden years. Screaming when she yawns, growling to the neighbor when she doesn’t acknowledge her. That’s no joke. Everyday our neighbor comes over to greet the dog. @josieg903 loves the sun. She wines at the door to be let outside. She hops up on the couch and plants herself in the sunniest spot. She sniffs the ocean air and says a friendly hello to all the dogs passing by. She is the Queen of the castle and she’s very proud! We celebrate our sweet girl, Josie, this #nationaldogday. What’s your pup’s favorite thing to do? And yes, I regularly photograph our pup. Enough that she has her own insta. 🤣🤣🤣 #puppylove #dogdaysofsummer #dogqueen #huntingtonbeachphotographer #newportbeachphotographer #labboxermix #pitbullterrier #pittiesofinstagram #mybigbaby #puppylove🐶 #dogsofworld #jessicagriffinphoto #josephine

  • Even with the mask I’m still smiling at people, saying hello as I pass. Sending those good-vibes out today and always. ❤️ Happy Saturday friends.

  • Today my friend called. She said, hey, how’s it going? Ready to move yet? I laugh because she was there when we bought our first house. She knows the mixed motions we experienced transitioning from our RV to our home. Her question was valid. If you’ve followed me for any length of time, you know... I love my RV life. (And you know I remind you of this often! 🤣) But after eight years we want to travel overseas more than across the country. We’re craving new experiences. And friends! Being on the road can be very lonely. Especially when you want a moms night out, or when the kids want friends of their own. Ones that’ll stick around a minute or two. Also, our new home is 1,000 square feet more than our RV. So I still see my kids. And I really like them, so I want to see them! (We had movie night tonight. Want to guess what we watched?) I mean, with mornings like this who wouldn’t be happy?! I love the beach and knowing I can put my toes in the water for five minutes each day (or five hours) brings me great solace. And now I have room for my friends to visit! #beachlifestyle #itsthervlifeforme #saltinmyhair #sunkissedhair #slomotion #motionintheocean #timelapsevideo #cloudphotography

  • My kids are pretty awesome! A few months ago I wanted some new branding photos and my photographer was away at school. So I recruited my kids. I wish I had a video from my point of view, to show you exactly how this went down. Let me see if I can explain it for you... To start, they all worked together, throwing instructions at me all at once. It went something like... G- okay mom, I want you to bite your lip like this. E- And I want you to wi... G- PARKER, NOW!! E- nk. G- now send this to dad. 😍 🤣 Did it work? Not how I envisioned. But, we had fun, laughed a ton and P got some great shots while we made some great memories! #selfieaddict #womeninbusinessrock #jewelryphotography #jewelryphotographer #forhire #photographerforhire #jewelryphotog

  • Moving during a pandemic is for the birds. I typed the word “everything” about five times, trying not to be dramatic, but honestly, everything we’ve needed for a house has been out of stock. We’ve waited a month for a washer and dryer, and a bed. While I realize there are obviously more important things going on in the world, for us, this is what’s currently important. Because we’re having trouble finding the things we’re looking for, we decided to build them. Well, I come up with the ideas. @awesomehops does the building and I do the finishing work. Here I’m painting a TV cabinet while listening to @crimejunkiepodcast. You’ll never guess what color this cabinet is- I know it looks teal. But it’s not. I picked up this color after seeing @theeclectichaven use it. The color is Starboard by @sherwinwilliams (#swcolorlove) and believe it or not, it’s more green than blue. I swear, the paint is magical. It looks teal in the tray- but it dries green! Thank you @parkerpie for snapping a photo of me working. ❤️ Love you!

  • We celebrate the 4th of July with BDE. We love it. Freedom. Stars. Stripes. Red, white & blue. Every year I buy shirts for my family. We find the biggest. Baddest. LOUDEST firework show and spend an entire day being proud Americans. This year feels different. I don’t feel proud of my Country. It’s not one thing either; equal rights, leadership, etc. it’s ALL. OF. IT. I do my best to parent and raise my little humans to be good people. So when I didn’t buy shirts, make the jello (the photos are from last year), or decorate... @redgab93 took notice. She said “I don’t think we should celebrate 4th of July today, it doesn’t feel right when there’s still people that are fighting for their rights just because of their color. While we sit here eating jello. 😢” While this world may be going to hell in a hand basket I’m taking solace in this moment. This moment where I know I’m doing the most important job I have, right. #justiceforall

  • A long time ago my grandfather would take me out to this hillside to fly kites. He taught me to fly his stunt kite- I don’t recall the proper terms but it was a big box kite. I remember it was a challenge at first, pulling the right handle to make the kite go one way, or the left one to make it go another. I picked it up pretty quick and he said I was a natural! He said I was so good, he bought one for me too! More than two decades later I still have that kite- with all the original hardware on it. I haven’t flown it in more than 15 years. When moving to the beach I didn’t realize we’d see so many people flying kites. My kids are super excited to get out there and learn to fly like I did. And I’m excited to teach them! Have you ever flown a stunt kite? #goflyakite #huntingtonbeachpier #huntingtonbeach #huntingtonbeachpier #sunsets_captures #beachlifestyle #kiteflying #kites #jessicagriffinphoto #visithuntingtonbeach #ig_sunsets #huntingtonbeachphotographer #travelcalifornia #californiadreaming #californiacoast #roadtripcalifornia

  • This big baby is sleeping around. Last night she slept with @parkerpie, tonight she’s snuggling up with @redgab93. No shortage of beds or snuggles for this princess. 🥰

  • You can ask anyone that knows me, they’ll tell you how much I love my RV life. When my husband started talking about buying a house again I felt... discouraged. Buying a house in California was something that always felt overwhelming to me. The cost of housing, within a reasonable distance of my husband’s office would have bought us a mansion in Texas. While I’m not after a mansion, in Texas or California, I just couldn’t see spending ‘that’ much money. But living at the beach, that convinced me we needed a house! 🤣 Since moving on Thursday (last week), we’ve been to the beach three times. Last night we roasted some spider weenies while my oldest played the ukulele. As the sun was setting I couldn’t help but smile. We’re home. Proper photos coming soon. For now, enjoy this cell phone capture of the Huntington Beach pier. 🙌🏼
