Summer Fun Photo Session
July 13, 2010 | Filed Under Children | 4 Comments
Popsicles, bike rides, cartwheels in the green grass…were all icons of summer when I was a kid. The highlights of my childhood revolved around long summer days with my imagination. Enormous bubbles made from dish soap were my mom’s specialty. I was reminded of this the last time I took my kids to visit and she had big bubble surprises waiting for them to play with. (My boys think grandma is the coolest!)
When I was looking through these images of a recent bubble play date, I felt that same childhood enthusiasm all over again. Summer is such fun!
Enjoy the rest of this fabulous summer!

Turning 7 was a big deal for ethan…but then again, every birthday is a big deal.
The silliness, the fun, the celebration…so much to look forward to! What a happy boy.
I love you my darling Ethan.
A couple of months ago I started giving photography lessons to my son on Furlough Fridays. Ethan was so excited to hold a real SLR camera and learn about the automatic settings and how to take care of the camera. It was the cutest thing to show him a couple of tips and then follow him around to see what he wanted to photograph. He told me what he was looking at and why and then I could help him capture the shot.
Afterwards, while we looked at his images, we talked about composition and what he thought made the picture interesting. Asking a child to show you what he sees through the lens is such a great experience. We both had fun and learned something new…especially about perspective. Every couple of weeks since he has asked for another mini lesson. I’m so happy to have fostered this new interest in him. Who knows, maybe he will follow in my footsteps.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!: Oahu Children’s Photographer

St. Patrick’s Day is one of my favorite holidays. Growing up it was filled with magical things…green footprints trailing up the walls leading to fun surprises. My favorite was the pistachio pudding and Lucky Charms waiting at the breakfast table. I remember finding mysterious green glowing lights in the dark corners of our house. Although no one else could see the green glow, I was convinced that little Leprechauns were hiding about. Even now I can’t seem to resist eating chocolate gold coins first thing in the morning!
I hope your day is filled with a little green magic.
