My first senior from Waimea High School….my alma mater! Yes I graduated from there in 1995…gosh it’s been a long time. When I flew to Kauai for my sessions, Bessie contacted me about doing a senior session. Kauai has some beautiful places there to shoot and I was excited.
For locations she mentioned a nice botanical garden or a waterfall…..I mentioned to her something fun and urban. Those were just green and boring unless there were lots of colorful flowers around. So she said ‘ok I trust you… ’ Yay! Yes trus me, I like fun stuff…jungles with thorns and what not. HA! Well Waimea High School seniors, I’m flying down again the weekend of August 15th….call me soon if you want to book me. I already booked a few and lots of other inquiries who I just emailed back. Hope to meet you all soon!
Ok something freaky happened at this location. We went up towards Waimea Canyon and stopped off the side of the road here. Threw her in the bushes and we started wondering what that wierd smell was. She looked back from where she was sitting and she saw a collar bone! Holey Cow! We were so freaked out we left…and hoping it wasn’t a human’s one…but it was big. AAGGHH! Sorry I’m not going there anymore… but it made pretty pictures!
When my son and I arrived to Kauai, we both got a really bad stomach flu or food poisoning, or something. I called both our doctors and she said ‘Don’t panic it’s not the swine flu!’ WHEW!!!! It was still terrible but thank God my mom was there to help us. I was in pain just trying to calm Cole down, he didn’t understand why he kept throwing up, my poor baby. Anyway, I had a photo session planned for that first day I was sick, but it turned out great. Though I had to cut it by 15 minutes because I was just really sick.
The husband is my friend Gina’s brother. Beautiful family and their daughter is a ham! We went to the beach behind the Plantation Cottages. It’s beautiful there!
My friend and most favorite client from Kauai, Gina, asked if I would come down to get newborn baby pictures! I was so flattered! So ofcourse I did and not only got her baby pictures, but another family & a senior session. The youngest baby I photographed was 2 months old. Little Miss Mia is 2 weeks old so I was really excited…nervous, but excited.
She’s so precious!
We went to the beach later that afternoon.
Big brother didn’t really wanna take pictures, so I got a cute shot of them checking out the big waves…
And a shot of the whole family, her parents.
Geraldine and I donated a photosession with hair and makeup as a prize to Campbell HS at their career fair. Bethany won the prize and she was so excited. She was telling me how much she wanted to redo their wedding photos with a Hawaii theme. It was such great timing because the session was planned 2 days before their 2 year anniversary, so after our session Geoff had something planned up his sleeve for her. They are such a wonderful couple and still so in love. I had so much fun with them. Thanks for letting me spend time with you!
Doesn’t he look like Fabio?
Look out Baywatch…
Here’s a slideshow for ya….hope you like it. I thought the song was perfect since they really didn’t mind kissing shots…
I flew to Kauai because my friend Gina gave birth to a beautiful baby girl! I had to see her and get some cute pics of her. Just a sneak peak for now. Congratulations you guys!
Just one of my friend Dee and her fiance. They took me to the North Shore Saturday and I found some new locations! Well Keone is from the North Shore so he took me to a whole different side. Wish I taking notes because I’d love to go back there. Looks like I’ll be dragging him along next time, haha.
I’m on Kauai for the week for some photosessions. Shortly after arriving, my son and I got the stomach flu. It’s been a junkie trip so far, but hopefully we’ll be better tomorrow.
As Athena likes to call her…. my cousin’s daughter Kiona stayed back an extra couple weeks to enjoy summer in Hawaii while the rest of the family had to go back for school and work. Athena and I took her out twice for picture taking because we had so many ideas we wanted to throw at her, and she was awesome! She worked it every time! She ain’t a top model yet…but she will be!
We had the ‘pin-up’ model girl for this one…
We had an urban cow-girl theme
Then the next session we had, we wanted it to be 80s inspired! It was too fun shopping for clothes. Walking into Forever 21 was like walking back in time, the clothes were so bright and colorful! So we tried to get as close as we could. She chewed the Bubbalicious gum, had the headband and the hair high on one side…too bad there were no Bop magazines though….
She loved this outfit, kinda reminds me of the Run DMC days…I tried so hard to look for an old school boom box….
We ended the night with a peaceful asian theme….
Thanks so much Kiona for letting us dress you up like a doll and following us wherever we wanted to take you! Wish the other angels (your sisters) were here too!!
I mentioned on a previous post that my cousin Wendell got married. Family from both sides few over here for the wedding. It was rainy but it was beautiful!!! After everything settled I got some family photos together.
Reunions are fun! Especially when siblings fight….
Showing off the rings, he’s so happy to be married!
The girls wanted some fun…
Decided to go to the beach…in style!
One of my cousins here got married so family from the mainland came over for the wedding. My cousin Nanette from Michigan was excited to do a session and wanted the Hawaii look so we went to Ko Olina beach just to take some pictures. Miss you guys already! Come back soon!
Just a little sneak peak of my senior rep for class of 2010!
