Just the two of us ...

It was such a magical moment in Kahala Resort.

They came from England, just the two of them!

So happy to give them the beautiful look of Hawaii.

By the way, I just LOVE their accent....

Shanei's Senior Portraits

Leileihua high school has a gem of a student in Shanei. A multi-talented girl with looks, personality and sweetness.

Shanei and I first met at her sister, Talisha's wedding a few months ago where she was in the bridal party. Now it is Shanei's turn for the spotlight.

You definitely shine girl!

It was wonderful to see the Waltman family again.

Kevin & Sun Young Lee 09.13.09

Simple, Intimate, Perfect. That's how I would describe the wedding I shot last week. Kevin & Sun Young came to Hawaii just to get married on our sandy shores. Most couples prefer larger weddings, but Kevin & Sun Young wanted something a little more intimate yet elegant. So they rented a house near North Shore and only invited their immediate families. Add in great scenery with a dash of awesome weather and you have a perfect wedding. Here's a video we put together for them. Congratulations again you two!

Aidan's Baby Portraits & time-laps

Aidan came to see us again with his mom, Alex, for his second photoshot. He was only 4 months old the first time and now, at 7 months, we get to do it again and show his important stages of development.
I never get over the amazement of how these little tikes grow.
Aidan was such a happy baby during the shoot and it was hysterical that the flash would make him laugh.

Good to see you guys again!

Kurt & Lori's Engagement Shoot

Kurt & Lori wanted to do something different for their engagement shoot, so I decided to take them to Tantalus & Old Pali Road. Aside from feeding the mosquito population, we had a great time and got some great shots. I can't wait to shoot your wedding in a few weeks. Here's a video we put together of their engagement shoot. Enjoy.

On a side note, I recently found out Lori is the sister of our friend Cheryl @ PRP. I kept thinking to myself that Lori looked really familiar, but I couldn't place it. Small world.

Kurt & Melody Murata's Wedding

Kakaako park, down town post office, and Prince Kuhio hotel.

The route of their beautiful wedding memories.

It was awesome photographing their moments.

We both felt very comfortable because we had an engagement photo session few months ago. Sure enough they were at ease in front of camera. It was even better cause I photographed Mel's brother's wedding few years ago.

It was great being a part of their most special day.

Club Charm - Isn't it charming!

A new club has been founded... Club Charm, which is an afternoon leadership program for girls 7-12 years of age. It's wonderfully cute! Check out the website - clubcharm.org.

I had the pleasure of photographing the blessing of the facility on Young St. (09.02.09) It is such a beautiful and absolutely girl friendly place.

TWINS!!! Gotta love 'em!!

I have never seen two cuter twins who were more different. What a pleasure Jonah and Emma were to photograph for their 1 year portraits (a week early, but we won't tell). Thanks to Mom and Grandma for bringing them in and chasing them around. You all did a fantastic job!
