This session lasted all of two minutes before a downpour came and chased us out of the roses. But two minutes was all I needed. Love my beautiful girl. She’s getting so big already!

The girls were adorable and so much fun. I really enjoyed learning about their special pearl necklaces and how much they are enjoying their Maui vacation. It’s such a treat for me to capture sessions like this. Not only full of smiling faces, but parents that love tickling and playing with their children. It’s why I do what I do. I am always inspired by love (see the new watermark?).

Thank you, “N” Family for a fabulous session. And I hope the girls enjoyed laughing at all the fake spaghetti’s I made up to get them to smile (grape jelly spaghetti anyone?).

Dear Baby Boy Cruz,

Today you are two and I find myself wondering how this time has passed so very quickly. I remember two years ago today in such vivid detail. You were even a gentle soul coming into this world in probably one of the easiest births on the planet.

2010 was a very hard year for Mommy, and whenever I think of 2010, you are the light – the good thing – that came out of that horrible year.

I love the way you love your Daddy. I love the streak of mischief you’re developing, the way you hug me, the way you rub your elbow to put yourself to sleep. I love how your favorite pair of shoes is your blue boots and you yell “Boots!” whenever it’s time to leave the house. I love the little cleft in your chin. I love the way you are obsessed with anything with wheels – but mostly race cars and trains. You love to dance and you love the ocean with a fierce passion. You are going to be a water boy for life.

Your Daddy and brother and sister and I love you so much. We are so thankful that you came and surprised our family. Though I am sad that you are not my tiny baby, I am overjoyed that you are my big boy and I look forward to our many adventures ahead. I love you big boy so very much! Happy Second Birthday!

Love you always and forever to infinity and beyond,

Mommy

Oh the joys of being a Maui photographer! I was actually a bit nervous for this session. Extended families = love. Kiddos = love. FOUR TODDLERS = nervous photographer. Add to that South Ironwood beach with huge waves and tons of sea-spray = more nervous photographer.

But you know what? This family was completely adorable. I loved how everyone came together and how much play was involved.

I have been trying to publish this sneak peak of this lovely family’s Maui photography session for 3 days now. Server troubles! But I think everything is back up and running *fingers crossed*.

This sweet family was on vacation together and decided to have a Maui family vacation photo session to celebrate everyone being together. It was an amazing morning – calm with a soft pastel light – at Baby Beach in Lahaina.

The kids are absolutely adorable!!! I have so many images I would love to post… but then this sneak peek would be quite long

Many thanks to this lovely family for their patience with the sneak peek and the servers being down!

It was a quiet morning when I got the booking form for a last minute photo session in Lahaina. Little did I know that the construction traffic was horrible coming into Lahaina and what should have taken an hour to drive ended up taking two hours.

I called them to let them know I wasn’t going to make it to the sitters in time with the kids and still make our maui photography appointment. I am so thankful they invited my kids to join in on the fun of this wonderful session.

Upon arrival to Baby Beach, my middle son Kai Boy, decided to strip nekkid and was a little streaking baby. My oldest, Ryenne, was neck deep in the water, and my youngest, Cruz, decided to jump in with all his clothes and shoes on. But despite my crazy three joining us on this photo session, this family was AMAZING to work with.

Maui Photographer Session

Mom and Dad are super awesome and the kiddos are adorable. It was so much fun running around with them. The light of the evening was amazing – and then the sunset was absolutely incredible. It was the perfect evening to be out on the beach. I absolutely love all the moments that were captured during this session.
