Natural Light...Natural lil' Beauty.

This is a little beauty I recently photographed. Between clothing changes, she found a spot right where a ray of light was beaming through the home. I love these natural shots of her. No posing or lighting necessary :) <3

Baby and his Mommy

I have a new appreciation of babies and their mommy's. When I am doing photo shoots I attempt to capture a connection between the parents and children. I typically give little direction. I simply encourage the mommys to just engage naturally with their child, and the relationship unfolds before the camera. And it's funny how most of the time, the baby falls asleep right in the mother's arms in the middle of the shoot. This lets me know that I have captured real interactions that are organic, as the child is at ease with the entire scenario at hand. Also, I just love knowing that the child is comfortable during their time with me as well.
 

Welcome to the World, Savannah

This is my best friend Tia, and her husband Mike's, new little angel, on her 3rd day of born life. I was there the day that Tia and Mike met. It's fascinating to see how relationships begin, grow, and culminate. It's kinda neat to see the merging of these two people that I love so much, into such an incredible physical form.

She is as beautiful as they are individually. As beautiful as their relationship. As beautiful as they are together.

She is Savannah Faith.

 

And she did such a good job on her 1st photo shoot. She sweetly put up with us for a very long time :)

Alex's Post

Today I'm sharing my blog with my little sister Alex, aka my "mini me". She's 15 years old. She grabbed my camera for the first time ever and she didn't put it down for hours. She did a ton of shots of me and the girls. So all of these shots are hers. She captured me loving (and spoiling) them as much as they deserve.

Leilani celebrates 1 year of life

If you've been following my blog, you would remember my precious little God Daughter's birth. I posted photos I took of her when she was about a week old. Well, now she's one year old! Her mother gave me the honor of naming her, and I chose the name Leilani, because in its Hawaiian origin, it means "Heavenly Child" and "Flower from Heaven". A "lei" is the familiar Hawaiian necklace of flowers, shells or feathers. It symbolizes regard and love for the person to whom it is given. Our flower from Heaven; Our Heavenly Child. Her first birthday party was a Luau themed celebration.
