A few months ago I came across a concept online that intrigued me. I discovered a group of photographers who would pick a theme and develop a monthly blog post about their interpretation…and then link to each other to allow their readers to continue to explore the theme through different eyes. This really stuck in my mind as something that I would love to be a part of, and with the help of some fellow military spouse photographers, we’ve created our own blog circle. Since military wives come from all walks of life and all types of backgrounds we decided that our first post should really be a getting to know you style interpretation. What makes us click? What makes us get up in the morning and continue on with our days? What is it about being a wife, a mother, a military supporter, a photographer that makes us uniquely us? I hope that you enjoy this new concept as much as we are. If you’re interested in joining our blog circle, please contact me, we would LOVE to have you. Continue to check back for our monthly themes and photo projects, who knows what we’ll come up with!
So…without further ado, here’s a day in MY life. Please note that the majority of the images from this post will be courtesy of my most used camera: my iPhone! My name is Kricia Morris and I am a lifestyle photographer currently based in Oahu, HI. My husband serves in the United States Marine Corps and impresses me every day with his strength, dedication and drive to work in service to our country. We have a 6 year old son named Warren who is in 1st grade at Mokapu Elementary, and he is my reason for living…every breath that little boy takes makes me love him just a little bit more. My typical morning starts around 6:30 AM with a cat on my chest and Warren jumping into my bed for a quick hug before demanding to know what’s for breakfast! It amazes me how he can go from sleeping to awake in about .27 seconds flat!
From there I drop him off at school where I serve as the PTA President. My son likes to joke to people that I run the school. It’s far from the truth, but I’ll take all the credit I can get in a 6 year old’s eyes!
Then it’s typically time for a morning workout. This past week I started the Insanity program with Shaun T. I’m convinced that the people that are smiling through these workouts are truly insane. I’ll be kind and NOT share a picture of me during this process 
After my workout it’s time for my office day to start. Typically I keep office hours between about 9:30 AM and 5:30 PM. There are lots of phonecalls, text messages, emails, FB posts, client requests, portrait orders, editing…you get the picture. Here’s a typical view at my desk!
Very helpful, right? I swear, she’s my hardest critic.
At night, it’s either time with my family or a portrait session. One thing that we’ve truly been trying to do a lot more of is enjoy the beautiful scenery that we are privileged to view every day on this magical island. Here are just a few of the sites that we see fairly regularly.
Last but not least, it’s some quality time with the husband after my kiddo heads to bed. Being married a Marine isn’t the easiest job in the world, but I truly wouldn’t have it any other way. I love my husband Matthew with all my heart…even if he is a little strange 
PS, have I mentioned that he’s an amazing cook?
I hope that you’ve enjoyed this little peek into our lives. Check back next month and see what topic we come up with next! For now though, visit my friend Becky Williams and check out a day in her life as well. Mahalo everyone!
