She was all smiles…it doesn’t get any better than this!  Little Elle’s smile lit up her entire face.  How can someone be so happy?!  I couldn’t help but smile as I edited her photos…Mom and Dad, you are going to have a hard time picking your photos, because she is smiling in EVERYTHING!  Don’t you just want to scoop her up and hug her?  Owen, how can you be 3 already?  It seems like just yesterday that we did your very first shoot.  Click HERE to see Owen’s first shoot.  It hasn’t been a year since the last time we saw you, but you have grown so much!  Click HERE to see Owen’s 2017 shoot.  We hope you enjoy being a big brother. Elle is so lucky to have you as her brother…we know you are going to be a protective big brother as she gets older 😉  It was great seeing all of you again, Mom and Dad!  Can’t wait to see you later this year!  Here’s your sneak peek:

Lucky little Kelysse, you were born into one of our favorite families!  Brooke and Troy have been coming to us for the family shoots for years, and we have fallen in love with them  😉    Troy and Brooke are the best big brother and sister you could have!  Baby Kelysse was no exception…she did an amazing job at sleeping! Mom and Dad are always so calm and patient, it rubbed off on their newest addition. I loved her pouty little lips and adorable arm and hand positions.  She was just precious…so snuggly and tiny!  Congratulations to all of you!  Thank you for sharing your sweet angel with us!  Brooke and Troy, amazing job as always!  I’m looking forward to seeing you for your next shoot this winter  🙂  Don’t grow too fast, Kelysse!  Here’s your sneak peek:

It was yet another blustery day.  We had to reschedule our shoot because our initial shoot day was awful.  It was sunny during the week, but grey skies appeared as soon as the weekend approached.  We were on a timeline, because Tristan (4) and Kai’s (2) family were on vacation here in Hawaii, and were planning to catch a flight home the day after our rescheduled shoot.  They wanted some beach shots of their family, especially because mom was expecting  🙂  Such an exciting time for everyone!

Tristan and Kai were amazing!  They both had the brightest eyes and sweetest smiles.  I was surprised at how well they took instruction (especially at the beach, which can be very distracting for little ones).  They made our jobs so easy!  I hope they had a fun time at the beach…even though it wasn’t sunny.  Mom, I felt like I was doing a commercial ad for you.  You were gorgeous!  Ahh, if only I looked that incredible when I was expecting.  Mom and Dad, you have such a photogenic family.  I loved your candid family and couple shots! You will have a lot to choose from in your proofing gallery  😉

It was wonderful meeting all of you!  I wish I could have brought more sunshine…but at least I didn’t bring the rain  🙂  I hope you all had a great family vacation!  Congratulations on the upcoming arrival of your newest family member!!!  Here’s your sneak peek:

It’s been over a year since we’ve seen Daniel and Dylan, and we couldn’t wait to see them again!  The last time I saw them, Daniel was sitting in a little plastic car for our 2016 Christmas shoot with his family (click HERE to see their previous shoot with us).  He’s grown so much over the past year, I don’t think he fits in that little car anymore!  Dylan also grew (A LOT) since we last saw him.  I loved that he liked to put his hand in his pocket and pose for us.  It was adorable, and made me laugh as I was editing their photos  😉  I loved their happy energy, and eagerness to impress us with their “playground skills”.  It turned out to be a beautiful afternoon (this was another shoot that we had to reschedule a number of times due to bad weather back in December…).  So glad we had some blue sky and dry ground for our shoot this time around, Mom and Dad!  It was great seeing all of you again, and it was a great way to start off our 2018!  Here’s hoping that our next shoot will be equally amazing!  Here’s your sneak peek:

The weekend of our last 2017 shoot gave us the worst weather, EVER! In fact, the entire week was awful…rainy, hazy, overcast.  I had my doubts that we were going to be able to do our shoot that afternoon, because it started raining on our way over.  Fortunately for us, the winds died down, and the showers subsided…just in time for our shoot!  It was meant to be!  The smiles more than compensated for the lack of sun. We couldn’t have asked for an easier group to photograph, especially considering the number of little ones we had that day!  Loved the coordinating attire, and for some reason, I really liked the variation in heights in the group shots.  It made the photos so visually interesting and unique.  I am so glad that we were able to catch all of you on your family vacation to Hawaii (for those of you that came to Hawaii from elsewhere)!  Thank you for spending your afternoon with us, I know you were all quite busy with family time, so we appreciate the opportunity!  We hope you enjoyed your stay here (despite the less than desirable weather).  Thank you for sharing your wonderful families with us!  Here is your sneak peek:

Happy New Year to all of you!  I hope you are all doing well  🙂  We’ve spent the past 6 weeks trying to update our software, backup our 2017 files, and design a new proofing gallery (we are still working on this last one).

What better way to start off the new year, than with Kody and Callie…TWINS!  We did their shoot at the end of 2017, and were so charmed by their happy little faces and energetic poses.  I just wanted to pinch their cheeks while I was processing their sneak peek photos, and their hand/arm motions just made me want to hug them.  The sisters were incredibly interactive, and did such a great job with us.  They were equally adorable, but each their own very distinct personality.  We loved the variety of outfits.  One set of outfits was more “formal”, and the second was “casual”.  The hats…oh, the hats!  One of my absolute favorite photos is the family photos with the hats…mommies and daughters all wearing hats.  So fashionable!  Moms, thank you so much for sharing Callie and Kody with us.  I’m so happy that we are starting off our 2018 blog posts with the girls’ shoot.  It was wonderful meeting all of you!  Here’s your sneak peek:

The boys were so thrilled to show us their backyard!  Alex and Matthew sported huge grins as they swung and twirled for us on their swings.  The large tree that the swings were attached to provided us with some amazing shade and protection from the bright sun.  This was another shoot that we had to reschedule, due to the rainy weather we were experiencing around that time…but we couldn’t have asked for a better day!  It was an afternoon filled with laughter, running, and even riding on a kiddie motorized vehicle (it was literally going 1 mph!).  Thank you for the beautiful artwork as well, Alex and Matthew…the boys painted us a picture, in anticipation of our shoot.  How sweet is that?!  Thanks for sharing your beautiful backyard with us, Mom and Dad!  It was great seeing you again this year  🙂  Hope you have a wonderful holiday season.  Before I post your photos from this past shoot, I included some from our 2016 shoot, so you could see how much the boys have grown in a year!

We finally had a day with decent weather to do our shoot!  We waited, rescheduled, and rescheduled again…so much rain!  It ended up being a beautiful afternoon for Mila’s shoot, and I couldn’t wait to see her again.  Click HERE to see her 2016 shoot with us.  Mom had visions of “field” photos.  We were hoping for landscape with dried grass…which is usually the case in that area.  This time, however, SURPRISE!  We got out of the car and saw a field full of bright green grass.  Thanks a lot, rain!!!  Oh well, we couldn’t change the grass, so we just decided to shoot anyway (besides, when you have a beautiful family, it really doesn’t matter what color the grass is, LOL).  Oh Mila, you are adorable.  She loved Bradley, and kept pointing to him and saying, “Brother!”  Hmm, Mom and Dad…that’s a hint!  Thanks for a great afternoon, Mom and Dad!  I’m so glad it finally stopped raining for us  🙂  Here’s your sneak peek:

Little Max is a big brother!  Click HERE to see Max’s newborn shoot.  Meet baby Finn.  I felt like I went back 2 years when I saw Finn…they looked so similar!  Both so handsome, and both gave us smiles  🙂  Finn was a little older than his brother when we did his shoot, so he was very alert.  His big, round eyes wanted to see the world…and he took it all in.  I love that he had a focused gaze, and looked straight into the camera at me.  Finn, you are a little charmer  🙂  Loved the knitted Santa hat that Mom and Dad brought in…so cute!

Congratulations, Mom and Dad (and Max)!  We are so happy for you all.  Enjoy your newest family member…he sure is an amazing little guy.  Here’s your sneak peek:

It was another year of planning, and another fantastic photo shoot with Emma and Zoey!  Mom and I got together for lunch, so we could go over her plans for her upcoming photo shoot.  Every year, this family goes out of their way to plan their annual shoot, and I always look forward to seeing what they have in store for us!  Click HERE to see last year’s shoot.  This year, Mom envisioned a “shaved ice” theme.  How cute is their little shaved ice stand?  So many little details (did you notice the snowflake trim on the kiddie sized park bench?  We loved the colorful display (and the girls were really excited about eating their frozen treats).  They even wanted to show me their colorful tongues after eating their shaved ice  🙂  I’m so glad we didn’t get rained out AGAIN, Mom and Dad!  Thank you for bringing all of your props to the shoot (I know it wasn’t easy).  The girls seemed to really enjoy this year’s shoot…lots of happy smiles and two very colorful tongues  😉  Thanks for another creative, amazing shoot, Mom and Dad!!!  Here’s your sneak peek:
