back from vacation

So we're back from Oahu- of course it was AMAZING. Here are a few of the pictures that I took on my vacation. The scenery was breathtaking!... but I'll let you decide for yourself:



I want to be retired and surf every day just like this guy... When I asked him if I could take his picture, he gave me the biggest grin- you know he's loving life.
This was the view from our balcony. Stunning.
I love sun flare!
I am so blowing this up and hanging it on my wall. I'm a sucker for black and white drama! :)
I must have 50 pictures of Oahu sunsets... and I love every one of them.
My brother-in-law... who happens to be an awesome photog too!
I love this shot.
... I have a ton more, but I'm dying to dive back into the portrait sessions I did right before we left. I'll post more soon, but until then, ALOHA!

Leaving on a Jet Plane...

Alright boys and girls, I am going to be out of town through the 27th of April. Please feel free to email me regarding any questions/or to book a session, and I will answer the emails as fast as I can (in the order they were received) when I get back. In case you are wondering, I am heading off to Hawaii with my hubby and our brother and sister-in-law. I am SO EXCITED because we are going to the Kokua Festival on Oahu!! Check out their website- it's for such a cool cause. Guess who's performing???....... JACK JOHNSON, DAVE MATHEWS, AND TIM REYNOLDS! Seriously?! I know. It's my DREAM concert. I can't believe we're going. I'm such a Dave and Jack fan... so imagine how thrilled I was when I went to my portrait session this morning and the (extremely cool) mother of little "J" pulled out this t-shirt:

...Yes, it says "I heart Dave Mathews... Just Like My Mommy". Perfect timing right?
And Dave, if you're reading this...I'll see you on Oahu, and feel free to make a photographer's dream come true- sign up for a portrait session! :)

Okay, and here's one more teaser for Mom and Grammy of little "J". (I couldn't resist) THANKS YOU GUYS- he is wonderful! I had so much fun... and I loved the scones and lattes!!!

Baby Fever...

I am one lucky woman- I get to photograph the cutest babes! This boy was so great during his session- had me wrapped around his finger faster than you can say "cheese".
Telling me who's boss!...

... and then giggling away. He needs to start his baby modeling career ASAP! :)

My self-portrait in those sweet wide eyes:

Rain, Rain, Go Away...



Had to share one from this little guy's session today. We were hoping for some sunshine and scenery, but when the rain didn't let up, we set up an indoor shoot instead. Isn't he adorable??! :)

April's Special...Storyboards!



Okay, you've been asking for an April treat, so here it is. I am having so much fun with these! I just love them- they are especially cute in a child or baby's room. They come mounted, so they're ready to display. You can choose your own colors/text to coordinate. I'm dying to do some more, so if you call/email me during April to schedule your session (in May or June), then I'll create a story board just for you with my favorites from your session. Call fast to get the date you want- just a couple spots left in May!
