Introducing into the world, baby Ella!  She was born at home to two loving parents at 8 pounds 12 ounces.  So healthy and so strong.  Here she is at 5 weeks and 4 days old.  The best part about it all is that she’s mine.  <3

The many faces of Kaulana…  At 4 months old, he was so much fun to work with!  Maybe one day he’ll grow up to be a performer on stage.  :)

Sweet baby Leela.  Just 13 days old.  I could feel the abundant love her parents had for her.  So precious.

This handsome little guy just so happened to be born on his mother’s birthday.  What are the chances of that happening?!  He was a great sport and so much fun to work with.  I couldn’t put my camera down!  I am in awe of how he was born with so much beautiful hair.  Here he is at just 2 months old.

Just over a year ago, I photographed this adorable young girl and her family.  A year ago, she was cute, playful and a little shy.  Now, she’s just as cute and playful, but more bubbly than ever!  I love seeing these changes in kids as they grow a year older…

It was a wonderful privilege to photograph this lovely family once again. ♥

Babies are wonderful blessings from God.  They magically know how to melt my heart all the time.  I was fortunate to spend some time with baby Elizabeth, at just 18 days old, and her loving parents, Sunny & Sherrie-Ann, in their cozy home.  Just look at her adorable chubby cheeks!

Being a newborn model is hard work!!  :O)

Thank you Sunny & Sherrie-Ann for graciously letting me capture these precious moments with you and your sweet Elizabeth in the midst of your busy schedule.  I am honored.

This year has been a great year so far! James and I had the privilege to travel with my parents to Washington state to visit my sister, her husband, and their two dogs Toby and Bailey.  We haven’t seen them for about two years since our last trip to Seattle.  Toby and Bailey (or as she calls them her “kids”) are Maltese bred half-brothers and are incredibly friendly!  I miss them so much…

Toby on the left, Bailey on the right.  Can you guess which is the eldest?  :O)

I can’t wait to go back and visit them again.  :)

I just love springtime.
Beautiful colors all around.  Flowers everywhere.
The crisp, cool air.

Life is a wonderful blessing.

I went to my first yoga class this morning at 9 a.m.  Being a photographer, my nights are usually spent at home in front of the computer catching up on office work until 1 a.m. or 2 a.m..  So it was a big challenge for me to wake up and get ready for the class that early… but I’m so glad I did!  I feel much more energized, relaxed, and ready to start the new day ahead.

Have a happy Wednesday, everyone!  :)

Kalopa State Recreation Area  |  Honoka`a, HI

On Good Friday of Easter weekend, James and I decided to take a break from our busy schedule and do a little exploring of our home island.  We drove about 45 minutes north of Hilo to Kalopa State Park.  As we arrived, I immediately fell in love with this place — with its untouched natural beauty, lack of people, and crisp, clean, cool air.  I instantly felt an inner peace.

While exploring the park, we discovered a few cabins on the grounds.  A family of 8 stayed in this cabin.  They made it look like so much fun to camp here with the quality time they were spending together.  One day I shall camp here for a night or two with James and some friends.  :)

I am so blessed to live on this beautiful island and experience God’s beauty around me.  There is no doubt that I will be back to Kalopa Park again another day.
