Riding Bucket: Pupukea, Oahu
August 28, 2011 | Filed Under Baby, Children, Events | Comments Off on Riding Bucket: Pupukea, Oahu
Our summer was filled with trips up to Pupukea to ride our horse, Bucket. He is the smallest little pony I’ve ever seen. Smart and spirited, he entertained the kids so much, especially when they brought treats to feed him. Now that school has started, our horse rides are fewer and fewer so I thought I’d post a few of my favorite memories of riding Bucket.
My kids really get a kick out of feeding Bucket the apples. The juice squirts all over the place and they just laugh. It is so messy!
It’s always a special treat when we can bring friends with us. These sweet girls had quite the birthday surprise when they arrived to find they would be horseback riding for the day!
I will wait my turn
Molly is Bucket’s trainer and has been working with him for the last 3 years. She is amazing!
We were so amused by this road sign we saw one day while driving up to Pupukea.
All Smiles: A Birthday Beach Party

We had amazing weather at Baby Makapu Beach for Pepper’s birthday party. It was a great day for taking photos with soft, diffused light making sweet, creamy images all over the place. The best part was Pepper’s unwavering smile. She was so happy at the beach the entire time! I love to see her so happy!

I love that silly tongue…so cute!
her first taste of sweets…
why do we have this tradition? common sense tells me we really don’t need to force our children to eat sweets…and yet we think it’s so fun
Pepper Turns One Year: Baby photographer Kailua

Pepper turned one year old last month! She is walking like a mad woman (literally, she walks like Frankenstein) and screams about something every 5 seconds:) Our household officially has a new little monster (it was previously Brent, but he has moved on to become Mr. Awesome!) Still, we love her like crazy. I thought it appropriate to take a look back at Pep’s first year… in pictures.

WPPI: Mike Larson+Family

During Me Ra Koh’s garden party at WPPI, she set up a couple of mini workshops. We were able to photograph, pose and be instructed by some of the industry’s top professional photographers. This one afternoon was the best part of my WPPI Las Vegas experience. It was so unexpected and yet it proved to be a real treasure to have been invited.
Mike Larson is a photographer in San Luis Obispo. He is amazing! Definitely check him out. His wife Rachel is a killer photographer as well. It was such a pleasure to photograph Mike and his darling little family. They have the sweetest little girl who was an absolute angel the whole time.
Such a doll!
