I can’t believe it’s been over 6 months since we’ve seen little Maverick in our studio! Click HERE to see Maverick’s newborn shoot. He had the same gentle soul, with big brown eyes that could melt any heart. He also lasted through a number of wardrobe changes (just like his big sis, Maile, when she was his age!). Patience runs in your family, Maverick!  Lots of baseball-themed shots for you, Dad 🙂  Thanks, Mom, for driving out to see us.  Here’s your sneak peek:

Even though she was over a month old, little Ella was still so tiny and precious…and she slept incredibly well for us! We usually try to schedule our newborn shoots within the first two weeks of birth for optimal newborn photos, but because of recent events and Mother’s Day, we had to photograph Ella at 5 weeks. Mom and Dad were so patient and easy to work with, thank you! A huge thank you also goes out to Zoey’s mom for the referral…we love it when our clients send us referrals (at least that means that you were happy enough with your photos to refer someone else to us, LOL!). Ella, you were amazing!  Mom and Dad, thanks for being so patient with your sneak peek:

From the moment I heard that the theme of Tyler’s first birthday party was going to be “Goldfish”, I fell in love with the idea. Who doesn’t love those cute little guys?  It was the perfect theme for one of the cutest little guys we’ve ever had the pleasure of photographing.  Happy First Birthday, Tyler!!!  Your smile lit up the room, and everyone had a wonderful time 🙂  Mom and Dad, thank you for allowing us to participate in Tyler’s special day! Here’s your sneak peek:

Tyler’s Grandpa created this amazing masterpiece!

We saw beautiful and creative centerpieces.

How adorable are these cupcakes?

Yum!

One of the most amazing cakes, ever! LOVE the fishbowl sitting on top.

Tyler Fish with Mommy and Daddy fish…don’t you think the tiny stethoscopes are the cutest?!

Arrival of the birthday boy, Tyler! Just look at that ever present smile.

Guests enjoyed games…

…and balloons by Balloon Twisters Hawaii (www.balloontwistershawaii.com)…Richard was a ton of fun!

We had a blast with the photo booth by Party Pix Hawaii (www.partypixhawaii.com). Guests enjoyed the fun props and costumes they provided.

Fanny from Fun Fun the Clown was a true artist. Her face/body painting was so intricate and colorful

Fanny even provided entertainment during the party.

Time to blow out the birthday candle.

Everyone had a great time…

…and at the end of the party, Tyler was STILL smiling.!

Welcome to our new Images by Kellie Ann website and blog!  I’ve been promising a new website for over a year…it’s finally here 🙂  I still have to add photos to the “Portfolio” header, but we’re getting there.  I thought I should go ahead and launch the website so I could switch over to our new blog. You can still access our old blog by clicking on the “Old Blog” header on the “Home” page of the website.

What better way to start off our new blog, than with a newborn shoot! Yay for new beginnings 😉  Little Zoey’s newborn shoot was scheduled for a week after I was discharged from the hospital (click HERE to read about my recent health scare). I called Mom to ask her if she would be willing to reschedule (I was not supposed to be contagious at that point, but I was still taking oral antibiotics and I still had absolutely no vision in my left eye…besides, what Mom would want to expose their newborn to someone that was just released by her infectious disease physician?)  Thanks for being so flexible, Mom and Dad!  Zoey was still so tiny for a 3-week old.  She reminded us of her big sister, Emma…it seems like we just did Emma’s newborn shoot. Once Zoey fell asleep, she let us move her from prop to prop with ease. Zoey’s shoot was the perfect way for me to “return to photography”. Mom and Dad-thank you for being so patient with your post.  Here’s your sneak peek:
