Wight Family 2010

I was so happy to shoot and meet the rest of the Wight family visiting from Seattle. Sally and I go way back to the Hunter high days and she doesn't look a day old from high school. Now, she's a busy mom and going back to school to be a nursing student. You are an inspiration! Thank you for a fun shoot and allowing me to capture your beautiful family.

Lupeamanu Family 2010

  

     

I remember being so nervous the first day I started school here in Utah from Hawaii. I didn't recognize a soul and I was use to seeing nothing but golden brown skin seated in classroom desks. I scanned the room and FINALLY saw a girl with golden brown hair. It was Jennifer! I came to find out she was also foreign to this place we now call home. She had also just recently moved from California. We immediately became friends, and soon became the best of friends. She had an older sister Mo, who was the same age as my older sister and they also became the best of friends. It was a perfect set up! We all four played volleyball and I remember clearly Jennifer's mom yelling from the stands, each time any of us would screw up. Lol! I love that lady. Well not much has changed and I was so happy to see them all together for their family reunion. Thank you all for allowing me to capture your beautiful family. Love you!

Preview: Baby Iona

I had to put up atleast one today, just for Iona's dad. We welcomed into the world Baby Iona on August 3rd. 8 pounds 15 ounces, 22 inches long. Proud parents are Lora & Hobart Auelua. More to come!

The coolest 8 year old in the world. No lie!

I'm soooo behind with photography work but I'm buckled down ready to get er' done! First...my nephew Jordan was baptized. Jordan holds a very special place in my heart. He was always my baby boy. He would follow Uela around, always want to sleep over and he loved to spend time with us. I remember clearly having him over to sleep even when I was 9 months pregnant with Devyn. One bed, big belly and all...Jordan still squeezed his way on the bed. Oh what joy for me! He's now grown up and still loves to spend time with Uela and I. I love it! Jordan is a very intelligent boy who never ceases to amaze our family with the things he knows. He can carry on an adult conversation with the most random people. Thank you Jordan for being such a sweet spirit. I love you!

ps-Lots more blogging to come!

Three of the cutest boys!

Ok I'm on my way out the door, as most of you know summer comes with the hustle and bustle of activities and fun! But I wanted to post the Tuipe'a boys. They are true boys...didn't want to be bothered with a photo shoot. Cars, playing ball and McDonald's was all that was on their little, busy minds. Thanks to the long winter we had, this shoot has been put off for more than a month but I was happy to see the sun come out and play this day. Thanks Tasha for you're help. You are super mom!

Summer is HERE!

After what seemed to be thee longest winter, I'm glad to say that summer is finally here!! My favorite part of summer is it feels like one loooong holiday. Nothing beats the smell of my bro inlaws BBQ (hint), the outside pool, flip flops--although they are year round in my household but much more fun in summer, watermelon and the endless activities with the husband and my babygirl. I welcome you SUMMER!

Here is my little miss Devyn growing up too fast! :(

Striving for Perfection!

Ok so I know I haven't been great on blogging and well, I'm not sure I will ever be good at this but I am striving for perfection in other things. Here are two shots from my latest trip to Hawaii. Both are straight out of camera...no editing, just a little sharpening of the eyes. My first time shooting at a beach and I loved it!
