Welcome to life through my lens. I created and designed this website to share a collection of my photo journals, travelogues, island adventures, and tips on sustainable living.
AmSam crew in Hawaii
Met up with some of our AmSam friends during our layover in Hawai’i. I love that our connection to our AmSam crew is so strong because of our shared experiences in Samoa. Time and space may have separated us over the years but we’ve had such an amazing community, and...
Life Lately: 5 months of change and evolution
Helloooo there. It's meeeee. Nerelleeeee. It has been a hoot of a while — and I have missed this space of mine to document my ever-changing life, romanticizing it in a way, and to express my gratitudes in words and images. A summary of the most inexplicably changing...
Coconut Point sunrise with Alava
It felt so good to be back home. Everything was just as it was. Except it wasn't. Same same but different. Coconut Point. Sunrise. Me and Ian. Different how? We have been joined by our sweet darling baby Alava. We moved out of our place at Coconut Point, the cutest...
Underwater Mama
Black and white edits of some maternity pics that Ian shot of me at almost 32 weeks pregnant with Alava. And some random color edits I liked as well of most of the same pics.
Living proof in the tropics
A throwback to an undeniably gorgeous day in Tutuila. My new yellow LifeProof FRĒ case arrived in the mail and it was the perfect day to break it out for an outdoor ocean adventure. I packed my snorkel and mask in our wet bag, along with some bevvies and my pole...

Maternity shoot x Alafaga
My best friend gifted me with some of the best memories as a soon to be mama. I’ll always look back at these photos and remember all the weekly bumpdates you made me do when I wasn’t feeling it, all the apple waters you fetched for me when I was at my most potato-y,...
Favorites from my Samoa baby moon camera roll
More pics from my babymoon in beautiful Samoa.
You, Me, and our baby moon
After an eventful first few days in Samoa for our combined girls trip, Ian and I were in full-on baby moon mode. We settled in to our cozy AirBnB beach fale at Maninoa and planned a couple activities to take advantage of our time on the south side of the island. We...
Giant Clams are GIANT
A gallery from our babymoon excursion to Savaia, Samoa, where they have a giant clam sanctuary. Ian and I always try to visit whenever we're in Samoa to see how the clams are faring, and enjoy whenever we're on the south side of the island. We paid our entrance fee to...
Baby Moon in Samoa
Flashback to a few months ago... My life was looking and feeling way too busy that I wasn't really able to enjoy even being pregnant throughout my second trimester. I had more energy and was feeling more "normal" — thankfully. But that actually made me work harder...
A Tropical Beachy Baby Shower
10.10.2022 I feel soooo lucky to call this place home, surrounded by some of the best friends a gal could ask for! My girlfriends planned this tropical beachy baby shower for me, Ian, and baby Moffitt. My only request was for it to be a co-ed event so our village of...
