The Newton Family {Teaser Preview}

When: November 2008
Where: East Oahu
What:Family Portrait Session

This is the first of what I am planning to be a "blog-a-thon" over the next couple of weeks. Stay tuned for photos from a few weddings, family portraits, and some photos from my mini-holiday in California. AND of course some photographs of Annie-belle my Scottie dog....I'm past due on posting some fun shots of her also! ;o)

Sarah was a referral from another client I photographed recently, and I have to say I was pretty excited when she said she was interested in having more of a Western feel to her photo session. Don't get me wrong, I love photographing at the beach, but it is nice to flex your creative muscles in a different way once in a while. Better than the location though was their carefree and relaxed attitude. I think their daughter, Maddie (yep, another one!), enjoyed telling me all about the horses, flowers, and everything else she saw. She was pretty articulate for a lass of her age. :o)

BTW, the last image of her was caught as we were leaving the stables...truly a candid moment and perhaps my fav from the day.

Vicki + Mia

I had the pleasure of photographing Vicki and her daughter, Mia this afternoon. We had to reschedule from yesterday because it just wouldn't quit raining! But the weather today was wonderful--exactly what you think of when you think of a gloriously crisp fall day. We met in the Square in historic downtown Franklin, and wandered around for two hours, changing clothes, finding spots to shoot...we even took a break for Starbuck's peppermint hot chocolate and gingerbread latte. I had a great time, Vicki and Mia. I hope you enjoy your little sneak peak!

Elizabeth

I had the honor and pleasure of photographing baby Elizabeth this morning with my friend and colleague, Rebekah Pope. Libbie was so sweet and adorable! And if she's lucky, she's inherited her mother's fabulous dimples. Thank you, Jessica, for sharing Libbie with us this morning!

Nate + Joanna + Baby

I had such a great time photographing Nate and Joanna, and their bump. They were up for anything, despite the chilly, early hour (yes, anything before 9 AM is early to me.) Doesn't Joanna look radiant? And Nate is just silly with love and excitement. In the last two, he was being really silly--teasing Joanna for forgetting her wedding rings, and knocking on her belly to wake up the baby...Joanna, don't let him do that once she's born!

Thanks guys, for a great morning!

Nicole + Richard {Hawaii Destination Wedding}

When: August 2008
Where: Mauna Lani Hotel, Big Island
What: Hawaii Destination Wedding

I absolutely LOVE the Big Island, so I was pretty excited when Nicole and Richard asked if I was available to photograph their destination wedding in Kona. Lucky for us, the vog was not too bad the day of the wedding, and we had some beautiful blue skies for some portraits the morning after the wedding. But what made it such an awesome wedding was how enjoyable both Nicole and Richard were to photograph - plus I should mention how friendly their families were.

I had a lot of favs from this wedding so it was hard to choose which ones to post. But this will have to do for now since Nicole and Richard were kind enough to fly me to San Diego a couple of weeks ago to photograph their second ceremony at home. (Yep, my first destination wedding outside of Hawaii). It was also gorgeous of course, so I'm sure I am going to have a hard time picking favs from that wedding also.

Happy Halloween! :o)

The Coulston Family(s)

When: September 2008
Where: Honolulu, Hawaii
What: Family Portrait Session

Nope, you are not seeing double, nor is this one lucky guy with two lovely wives. They are actually twins!     :o)

Thank goodness Chelsea and Sophia were there to keep the guys out of "trouble". Just kidding. But one thing is for sure, little baby Maddie stole the day...isn't she the cutest one-month old baby?
