Hey Good Lookin'

As you will see in the slideshow, this family was way too much fun to work with! I haven't giggled this much in a long time! This mommy is very lucky to be surrounded by all of these gorgeous men! I love the colors they chose to wear; they really pop! I made a complete fool of myself and told them that they couldn't let anyone know about "this side" of me. Burping, and other socially unacceptable sounds were flying out of my mouth! As usual, I made Mom and Dad kiss for me. I told them to "Go for it!" and they did! Their sons had to look away from all of the grossness! I had a delightful time with all of them!

All Girl!

This beautiful little sweetheart was such fun! We pulled out some of my petticoats and put some really colorful outfits together! Her mom let me use some of my own "Closet Couture" outfits. As you can tell from her photos, she was full of personality. I had a hard time turning the camera off!

In the Garden at 9 months!

These sweet little ones have been good enough to let me see them every four months this year. They are now 9 1/2 months old. We had to reschedule 3 different times because of "June-uary" weather! The days are finally cooperating with some sunshine lately. These babies are absolutely gorgeous! Little Miss's eyes just blow me away! They were a little afraid of me at first, but with moms' prodding, they relaxed a little and I was able to steal a few precious smiles!

I loved the clothing choice. That red just pops! There was one rhododendron holding onto it's red blooms and we got some beautiful shots in front of it. Alas, the Rhododendron Garden has almost lost it's Rhodies! It is still a beautiful place to take photos.

I love working with this family!

Happy Face and Giggles!

I've been playing with this little sweetheart since before he was born! He is now 9 months old. His mommy let me use some of my clothing for my upcoming "Closet Couture" on him. He was such a riot! Just look at that smile and those chubby little thighs! He was so happy throughout the session. He just needed to look at his mommy and his smile would come. Toward the end, I had exhausted him, but I think you will agree that these "crying" shots are precious.

Goofing Around!

I had so much fun with this delightful family. The two children are 5 years old and they are twins. If you've read any of my previous blogs, you will know that I have a special place in my heart for twins. The little ones were a bit shy at first, so I brought out my "big guns" and started making strange noises. Now some children get very afraid of me when I do this, so I start slowly, at first, to test the waters. I was getting a pretty good reaction and was being egged on by Dad, so I got pretty carried away. Let's just say there was a little bit of burping the alphabet going on! Anything for the laugh, right?

They were a closely knit family where both Mom and Dad were totally in love with their children. We went to a place called the Jenkin's Estate in Aloha. Mom and Dad had their wedding reception there. It was absolutely beautiful! It rained on us and Mom had to remind me that I had a camera in my hand and probably shouldn't have it out in the rain. At the end, we found some fun "climbing" trees and grabbed some fun shots there. I love the one with Mom at the bottom looking up at her son in the tree!

Playing in the Garden!

I had such a delightful time with this beautiful family of five. Mom called me and asked me for a specific type of photo that I thought was such a creative idea. She wanted to hang a large photo of a garden in her living room above the couch. If you study the photo close enough, you will see a family in it, their family. You will see some photos during this slideshow in which you can't see their family unless you look close enough. I love this idea!

This family looked so put together in all of their photos. The colors of their outfits mixed with the vivid colors of the Rhododendron Garden really pop. When we got to a field of grass, we just let the children run around and I was able to capture some beautiful images. At the end, the two oldest children wanted to wear some dress-up clothes. I was able to capture Spiderman climbing a wall and a princess having tea.
