  • Military Promotion Ceremony

    Things that give me the Warm-and-Fuzzies:

    1. Mom’s that are hardcore rocking their military career.

    2. Newborn kittens.

    I mean seriously.  This was such a HUGE moment in her life, and the proud look on her kids faces kills me every time I look at these photos.

    Good on you ma’am.  1ALP_0237ALP_0238ALP_0246ALP_0270ALP_0278 copyALP_0285 copyALP_0287ALP_0293ALP_0300ALP_0304ALP_0309ALP_0332ALP_0336ALP_0423ALP_0428ALP_0443ALP_0475ALP_0479

  • Family Session: Bellows

    This is at least the sixth or seventh time I photographed the Hull Family.  I met them when they booked a session with me way back when I was BRAND spanking new, and they have stuck with me ever since.  Here were are several years later, FINALLY capturing them in one of my favorite locations BELLOWS.  Everything about that day was perfect.  Hawaii sure knows how to put on a show, because the light was amazing.

  • Honolulu In-Home Lifestyle Session: Dinnertime

    “For our family, dinnertime is when we come together, work together, and enjoy each other.  It is when we talk about our day, tell jokes, and make plans.  That is what I needed you to capture, the togetherness that you feel in my home at dinner.  Thank you for keeping my memories.”

  • Honolulu Family: Saturday Morning Session

    When you think about how many things that had to go just right to bring Baby C home, into the arms of his loving parents, it is mind-blowing.  These dad’s wanted him for so long, and here he finally is.

    Science is incredible.  Love is spectacular.
