I am such a lucky girl!  I swear I get some of the best clients ever!  Nicole and Joe are no exception!  They are one of the sweetest couples and have one of those captivating loves.  I did their engagement shoot in Hanalei, Kauai. Not only are Nicole and Joe a beautiful couple, the location they picked is jaw dropping. We had so much fun laughing, smiling, dodging cars and playing in the sand.  As always there were so many images I fell in love with so it was hard to pick.  Nicole and Joe, thank you for letting me capture your love, laughter, joy, and your unselfish love for each other.  You two are beautiful inside and out.  Hope to see you in Arizona one of these days.

The husband and I have been trying to make a point to do something after 5, even if its just taking a walk.  We get so busy with coming home from work, and then doing nothing.  So here is one  adventure of after 5 last week.  It always seems like so much work, but every time we do something we are so glad we did it. Surfing at Chuns, North Shore.

A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials, heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine, desert us when troubles thicken around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts. – Washington Irving

This is my youngest sister and her boyfriend.  They were going out for Zach’s birthday to Michels which is a FABULOUS resturant here in Hawaii.  The view at sunset knocks your socks off. Its also a great place for small weddings.  My sister asked if I would take a couple of pictures before they headed of to dinner.  These two are one of the coolest kids I know.  They are always having fun!

A couple months ago I was over in Maui and was able to help Anna Kim with a couple of weddings.  Anna, is so much fun!  If you are with Anna you are having a blast.  I love watching other photographers work, I love to see how they connect with couple, how they handle the stress, how they see a room and most of all they make their passion come alive. Anna does all and with elegance and style.  Anna thank you for letting me shoot with you.
