a few for now

Sorry it's taken me so long to get back here. Projectfocus is in full swing and between that and my shooting schedule (and kids being home for the summer) I've been a mess. I stole a few minutes to post a few from these three sessions:



I've been photographing this family since the oldest was just a little one.














And this little guy is the adopted son of an amazing friend. He is such a lucky little guy. They make each other truly happy.










And last but not least: a gorgeous senior.

Holiday session schedule

Kinda weird to be talking about the holiday season in the middle of June but here goes...As of today, I have three more weekdays left in October until I am completely booked solid. I also have 4 days left in November because my deadline for sessions (for holiday cards) is November 10th. I do have more open days in September. Please check your calendars and call me to book a session for the holidays soon. I will need a deposit of $50.00 to hold the date. This deposit will go towards the session fee. I look forward to working with all of you so don't forget to call.
thanks,

little garden fairy

Here is a sweet little three year old that loves to play hide and seek and explore. Mom, prints and collages are almost done. I can't wait for you to see them. She is just so precious.

Project Focus Hawaii

We are now well underway with our project. This year we have chosen Kids Hurt Too as our non-profit organization. You can view our new website at Project Focus Hawaii. Here is a little news coverage that highlight the kids: KHNL . If you would like to learn more or to donate to our little organization, you can either give me a call or contact me directly from the site. We are super excited to have Fuji (again) and Macy's AlaMoana on board this year. The kids are just great even if their stories are heartbreaking.

summer time = beach time

Here are some of a family that has since moved from the islands. We had so much fun hanging out at the beach but, it's getting brighter earlier and earlier at the beach. If you are considering a beach session, we will need to be there by 7:30am at the latest. It makes for incredible images like these and well worth it!

















have a beachy summer!

He's a star

Here is an image of me taking an image. This little guy is one of my stars. He is on my Makana Mother and Baby card as well as on my sample bags. He just made one and he couldn't be any cuter. I'll start with the one mom took and then the one I ended up getting at that same time. And then a bunch from the session. Mom and dad are such warm and wonderful people. It's no wonder this little guy is such a delight. I love watching him grow.

What a doll

Such a firecracker. I just couldn't stop myself. This is one of those sessions that I'm glad I put a limited number of rolls in my camera bag. I could have kept going all day with this one. Look at those lashes...
