Sometimes I get to just have a great time. We scheduled a shoot to be held at the Hawaii State Fair but realized that it wouldn’t open until 6 p.m. So, we did what any other photographer would do and decided to meet somewhere nearby to get “just a few” photos beforehand. I had driven by this tiny lot for sale in the middle of town and let’s just say it is a little diamond in the rough. Literally nobody I know would ever drive by and say, “Let’s have a photo shoot here!” Just some overgrown grass between some cracked concrete with the setting sun behind it all. Well, I ended up almost loving all of these more than the ones we took at the fair. 🙂

We had such a wonderful time with Amanda. She was so relaxed and easygoing. I was trying to encourage her to give me an idea of what she wanted to do as far as styling and hair. She just kept saying,”Whatever – just make me look pretty.” This talented young lady is also a pilot and can be spotted on the north shore in her glider. So cool!! Well, sweetie, you look more than just pretty. You look amazing!

This is the fourth time I have taken photographs for this lovely family. It has been so much fun to watch them grow!

The very first time I met this mom, we were at a party. She asked me if I knew of any good photographers that could take some family pictures. I just so happened that I did! 🙂 It has been so much fun getting to know this family.

This was such a fun and casual family portrait session. I love that you can see that fun was being had and the casual poses truly tell this family’s story.

Because I love them so much, I am also posting their slideshow. This will give you a little sneak peek of just how awesome these memories are and how important they will be as the years progress. What an awesome reminder of their time here on the island!

Thank you so, so much for entrusting your family portraits and memories to me time and time again! It has been such an honor to be a part of your lives these past six or so years!

Aloha!
