Lewis Family: Lanikai Beach

Children are never as cute as when they are 3! It’s my very favorite age to photograph! They have such big personalities at this age and it’s really fun to see them in action. Of course, I also love one-year-olds too! Sweet “Sage” was such a charmer! At 15 months she was right at home at the beach!

Beautiful Mothers: Keawe Family Reunion
May 13, 2012 | Filed Under Family, Slideshows | Comments Off on Beautiful Mothers: Keawe Family Reunion
It had been many years since the Keawa family were all photographed together and this marked a special time. All of her family gathered together on Oahu to celebrate her birthday. Iwa was absolutely glowing while surrounded by all of her children and grandchildren. She is such a strong and amazing woman. I have so much admiration and respect for her. You have a beautiful family!
Some of the greatest joys a mother can have in life centers around her family. Here’s to Mother’s everywhere!
Happy Mother’s Day.
Iwa with all of her grandchildren.

Lanikai Craft Fair

Every Spring the week before Mother’s Day, the Lanikai Association holds their semi-annual Lanikai Craft Fair. I was so excited this year to be apart of it. Setting up a booth and exhibiting my landscape art work was a first for me. It was a fun experience! I look forward to doing it again this Fall before Christmas.
Thanks to those who came by to say “Hi.” It was great to feel your support! Here are a few photos of the booth.
One Year Older

Recently, Ethan had a birthday turning 9. I took him on a special outing… for his own photoshoot. We styled his photoshoot to be the most fun for HIM. He wanted to be a ninja! In fact, he wanted to create his own ninja poster starring himself to hang up in his room. So we did!
The one on one photo sessions with my kids have become some of my favorite times with them. It’s a time where we can just be silly and take pictures the way they want to. Since I only do this once a year, they have a lot of fun with it…and as a bonus, they have a great attitude about taking pictures in general! (In fact, after seeing his brother’s photos, my 5-year-old was begging me to take his pictures too! Although I think he just wants a cool ninja poster.)
Ethan was all about jumping in puddles and off cliffs.
During this time I was mentoring a Kalaheo High School photography student. Precious came along with me on a few photo sessions including this one. Here’s a fun behind the scenes shot of Precious practicing her skills with Ethan.
I love how happy Ethan is in all of his pictures! I know I’ve done something right if my own son has a great time.
…and here comes the black ninja!
Ethan was so proud of his tattoos. We can thank grandma for sending those…always a big hit with the kiddos, but not so much with me.
Below is the “before” & “after” image we chose to make into Ethan’s ninja poster. We had some fun adding special effects.
