Joy and Gab's engagement session

  Joy and Gab are so in love, and their excitement for their upcoming wedding is so evident!  I loved doing the engagement shoot of these two lovebirds one mellow morning at Lanikai beach.  The light was soft and beautiful, and these two shined with happiness.  I can't wait to shoot your wedding next month, guys!

Pete & Liz in South Dakota

  My wonderful cousins, Pete and Liz, and I had a photo session last month in Yankton, South Dakota on a family trip.  Our trip was on the somber side, since we flew out to go to the memorial service of Grandpa Lew, my husband and Pete's Grandpa.  He was such a  happy (and funny!) guy to be around that we all felt his lost dearly... he is missed!  This trip was a special time of reunion and celebration of the family tree that grew from underneath him.  I know grandpa Lew would have loved to see us running around in the field next to his home, doing a photo shoot and loving life... I know Grandma enjoyed it.  This shoot is in honor of our South Dakota family, and especially of Grandpa Lew.

Joel & Sarah Jensen's Portraits

  I had the privilege of shooting the family portraits of my wonderful cousins, Joel and Sarah, and their new baby, Whitney Marie!  Little Whitney stole the show with her contagious smiles and laughter.  Love you cousins, and so glad I got to spend this time with you!
