After five months of back and forth with late-night emails. Six years of connecting with you guys on social media, the new and rebrand of Raesd with Grace by Amy Teixeira is finally here. I’ve never felt more purpose, passion and love for what I do. I think transitioning into motherhood and photography over the […]
After having relatively larger parties for Aliyana first two birthdays, I realized I wanted to do something different for her 3rd. Birthday celebrations usually come along with a lot of ‘stuff’ and we are so beyond blessed to have such generous friends and family that love her so much. However, as you know I’m not […]
The time has finally come to close one chapter and introduce another. This has been on my mind for a few years now – pretty much since I closed Confetti & Co. 4 years ago. Today, I think I’m finally ready. I know it’s just an instagram handle but so many memories, connections and friendships […]
October marks eight months with Aliyana. I want to spend as much time as I can with her being present and collecting memories for our little family. Although I know she wouldn’t remember any of this, I just want all these moments captured and documented. It’s SOOO true, time really does fly and I’m really […]
This past year, I’ve been hearing more and more about carbon monoxide poisoning. The most recent was an old friend who told me that his best friend had passed away while they were on vacation due to undetected carbon monoxide. To be honest, it’s actually extremely frightening as it’s really hard to detect because it’s […]
5 months later, I finally have the courage to look at all the photos from Aliyana’s birth. They’re real, raw and simply breathtaking. Wow! It’s been a really long time since I’ve updated my blog and what a better way to kick it off again then to write about Aliyana’s birth story. Now that this little […]
I’m slowly moving in the direction of film photography and capturing Maui on my 35mm couldn’t have been a more beautiful and rewarding process. These images really bring me back to that beautiful week we spent together celebrating us before we officially become new parents in a few short weeks.
Christmas is seriously my favourite time of year – the tree, decorations, holiday scented candles and wrapping up christmas gifts just makes me super giddy inside. I personally love giving gifts vs. receiving gifts myself. I don’t know why but I just do! While busy prepping for the arrival of Baby T and wrapping […]
Currently at 30 weeks pregnant (with 10 weeks left, YIKES), this pregnancy has been rather smooth sailing but NOT without any road bumps. Despite dodging the morning sickness bullet, I did experience the emotional roller coasting, the 3pm uncontrollable yawns, and the back pain. However, that’s not what I wanted to write about today….. Over the […]
I just got back from Maui last week and it was seriously the best time ever. I think the craziest part about this trip is that the next time we go back, we’ll be eating shave ice and sipping on coconuts as a family 3 + leroy (our first born). I can’t believe we’re only 3 […]
The secret is finally out! After 13 years. 3 years of marriage. 2 homes and 1 dog. Mike and I are finally expecting our first little bean this January. It’s been kept really quiet until I was 20 weeks for a variety of reasons but one being…. what a busy summer this year has been. […]
As you might already be aware, I’m absolutely obsessed with essential oils. It’s my go-to when experiencing, headaches, migraines and cramps (the life of being a women). Growing up, I’ve suffered from severe migraines to the point where I would hide in my closet, press my temples so hard it’ll bruise and of course let’s […]
I always know spring is near when local flower shops start to blossom with tulips (in every colour). I love decorating with them because they’re easy to care for and not to mention easy on the wallet as well. I’m sure you already notice that tulips tend to droop quickly so my trick to keep them […]
