Its Monday again, I can’t believe its already the middle of May. It will be summer before we know it.

I am excited for the summer, summer brings love back in the air, after a cold winter.

Not that us Hawaii people have anything to really complain about.

I am so honored and blessed to do what I do, I capture love, the candid moments that are so special.

I get to see the raw emotions.

Life has been really crazy for me these last couple of weeks, I have had so many emotions ( am I doing the right thing..etc).

There are amazing things going on, which I am so excited about yet totally scared.

I can totally say I am growing up!

On the photography note, I have three weddings still to be blogs and a couple random shoots. So be on the look out for some images.

lots of love, and remember to pay attention to the ones you love.

This week has been crazy, totally crazy.  I have so much to tell you all, but I need to have time, and I have been super short on time.  I am so excited for the future and the plans ahead.  I feel over whelmed with happiness and fear.  A good fear I think.

I am excited I have a wedding on Friday and a couple shoots this week. Plus another 5 of so that still need to be blogged.  Hopefully I can get on the ball.

I am going to leave you with one of my favorite quotes and a picture of coures.  ”We love because it’s the only true adventure.” -Nikki Giovanni

First, I am alive

Second,  I am the Worst Blogger. Ever

I absolutely love blogging but its been a crazy couple of weeks. But fret not I am back!  I have lots of exciting things to be blogging now that I am back from LA.

My sisters are going to kill me for putting this up. Oh well, its one of my favorites because its us (no make up, no husbands, parents, kids, just us.) Its very rare to have all four of us together now that we are older.  My oldest sister lives in Alabama, and the 3rd lives in South Africa (her and her husband are missionaries). So I treasure these moments.  The baby and I (I am the second oldest) live in Hawaii so we get to see each other often which is amazing.  For those of you who have sisters you know there is a bond that is unexplainable.  YOU ALWAYS have a BEST FRIEND! I thank my God, for forever best friends.  Cheers to sisters!

So I was asked to help out with a new magazine here in Hawaii called Flux Hawaii.  It an amazing magazine, stunning photos, great writers, and just what Hawaii needs.  Check them out! FLUX Hawaii. Here is my picture on the contributor page.  What do you think? I will post a couple of the pictures from the magazine in the next couple of days.

The picture with the apple is one of my husbands favorite picture of me.   David Muller took it of me.  I think its totally fun and different.

“When I was young I wanted to be a ballerina, or a painter,

or a magician, or a trapeze artist.

Now I am a photographer, which is kind of like being all of those things, only you get to fly more

and  don’t have to worry as much about your figure.”  angela kohler

P.S. I never wanted to be a magician or trapeze artist, but I thought the quote was just to cute.

Do you like my ballerina shoes?

Happy Monday, I can’t believe its March.

Ok this has nothing to do with my photography business!  Its just too funny not to post these pictures.

My husband I wanted to check out the Honolulu Academy of Art “After Dark”. They open up the academy after hours, have live music, drinks, and you get to see the art at night.  Its pretty cool. We ended up seeing a ton of our friends and had a fun time getting lost in the galleries.  Right now they have Andy Warhol-Modernism on Paper.  Amazing!

These are the funniest pictures my sweet friend cooper took of us. Cooper you know I love you!

Sorry for the late post! I was being an extra on the filming of  ”Soul Surfer” , the Bethany Hamilton story.  It was really fun (mainly because I ended up knowing a lot of people, its a small island) They have a really fun cast, Helen Hunt, Dennis Quaid  and of course our local girl Sonya Chung!  Its not that glamorous to be on set!  I am sunburned, tired and over worked (okay, not over worked but the day was long)!

A post is always better with a picture.

Dear Baby Tay,

On this January day you were dedicated to the Lord, it was so beautiful.

Your family was there to speak words over you and bless you.

You started talking like you understood, and laughing. We all started laughing.

You are a JOY!

You are such a blessing to our lives, I can not wait to watch you grow up.

love,

your aunt/godmomma

p.s. your dad took your uncle hunting and he missed the buck, it still makes him mad.

Oh I love this man in every way!  He completes me! I know it sounds silly. He is such a gift, and I am blessed. He is mine, all mine.

Babe, Thanks for loving me for who I am! Your support and courage to see me reach my dreams is more than I could ask for. You inspire me to do things I thought impossible.  Thanks for holding my hand,wiping the tears, making me laugh, giving me butterflies and being my true love.

Yes, I am still going to wake you up just to give you a good night kiss.

You are my funny little valentine.

xoxo

Can you see Wally the pig?  Our friends David and Jenna Muller were out of town and we were the baby sitter for the cute little pig. (if you need head shots or your nails done, this is the couple.)
