I want this house :)

Olivia

I've been doing a lot of kid modeling comp cards since I've been back, here are a few shots of my last one. :) Enjoy, there will be more to come! :)

Baby Kane

These kids are too funny! The expressions are priceless as well as the sounds. ;)

Little miss sunshine...

This sweet baby is a miracle child. I won't get into the details, but lets just say she is a fighter just like her mama. It was such a pleasure working with Cate, I pushed her a bit too hard for a new born as you can see from the last shot but our bond gave us some amazing images. :) I can't wait to watch this little sweetheart grow. Thanks to both Cate and mama for being so wonderful to work with.

Here come the babies...

So all the mama's that I did maternity shoots for are now having their babies one by one. I feel like I am back on track with shooting consistently which makes me feel alive and rejuvenated. There is nothing better than capturing a moment in time and having that parent moved so much that tears of joy start flowing. That's why I do what I do.

There will be more to come, I have 4 shoots in the next 6 days so till next time enjoy the sunshine while its here!

You will take a chance in the near future and win...

I want to start off this blog with thanks to all my friends and family who have and still are saying lots of prayers for my sister. As some of you know, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and is currently undergoing treatment in Kauai. Its been rough on both of us but I know she will get through it because she is a survivor.

Kauai was like a blessing and a curse to me but I was able to find the peace and beauty in the island as well as in its people. What I have realized in this life is that we all must take a chance and recognize that no matter what, we always win. There is always a lesson in everything we do and if we see the beauty and goodness that surrounds us there is no way we can lose.

I hope you enjoy the beauty in these pictures and even more, I hope you all continue to take chances in life and know in your heart that no matter what you will win.

Happy 2009!

Miss Kauai

As many of you know, I have been in Kauai for the last month. I was there visiting my sister and took care of some business as well. Kauai is a beautiful island that is very green and interesting to me. I'm not sure if it would be my choice of islands but I did have some great memories that I will take with me for a lifetime. Between the farm animals, the one lane highways, rain and my mosquito bites, my sister and her friends will have stories that will make them laugh for at least the next year. ;) I did do some shooting and education while I was out there so I wasn't completely off duty.

I have to admit, taking pictures of islands kids was a blast because going to the beach IS pretty much all they do out there. Miss Lili is an adorable 3 year old and a complete natural in the water. It was so fun having such a change of scenery and afterward enjoying some sun at the beach! Its definitely a lifestyle I can get used to, thanks Lili and Pam! :) My next blog will be of all my landscape shots of the island, I know you will love those!

MAHALO!
