Ada

I think that by the time we're done with school, you will have met all of our neighbors :)But here's someone that will be missed :( apparently people graduate and move on/out. How exciting this coming month will be. They have decided to keep the name a "secret" so I can't help you with that one either but we know its a boy. I say it again, there is something so MAGICAL mothers. Ada was up for anything... and I'm glad the tide was our friend that day...too bad it was totally overcast.

Here's her next to what we called the Rasta boat.

Me. Again.

So its time to put a picture to a name right? Apparently my little Tweety icon should be updated. Haha. I'm glad for friends who also happen to be photographers :) Here are three that I'm thinking of using. Because that's me right? Scary and unprofessional (the "model" not the phtographer)? It certainly is a totally different feeling to on the other side of the camera. So here, I'm putting myself out there.

Enjoy making fun of me.









What do you think?

Its got the purple, the Too-big-of-a-smile and my newest hairstyle. I know, I'm lame I don't even try to wear make up :(

Thanks to Ramona of Photo Visions Hawaii for the shots :)

Joshlin

Another graduating senior! Boy how relieved they must all feel right? Maybe a little afraid of "what's next" but I'm sure Joshlin will do just fine. It seems that I have had the privilege to photograph many of her friends so I was glad to meet her at last. She probably didn't expect me to be as random and a scatter brain (I promise that only happens in the mornings). So we went exploring... in a farm...again.











I can't leave you without sharing this one... yup... at this point she probably regretted asking me to take her pictures. Haha.

Again congratulations and good luck with whatever comes next :)
Mahalo to Sarah for coming and not helping me find papayas. Lol.

Friday ask away

If I was to describe myself, with one word it would be "random".

Oh I believe that there are known facts about me:

-I often speak way too fast (and since I don't discriminate I do that in French and English)

- my favorite color is red. Haha. Its obviously purple!

But I think that there are also some things that people probably don't know about me or are just inexplicable.

For instance:

-although I've a got a BS (I know, what a poor choice of abbreviation ) in Biology, I was an undeclared major for the first year, then an Art major for a whole semester,... I think I have been that confused for a very long time. For Christmas 1994 I got a mini microscope, the following year: a mini pottery wheel.

-I refuse to eat croissants. I'm not sure if its the flakiness or what, but I would rather starve than have one- ok, a little extreme, but true. So lucky him, when we get that big tray from Costco, Marcus gets them all.

Another random fact? I've jumped off Laie point and an airplane. But would probably never jump off Waimea rock.

I still don't know how I feel about twitter, so here's the closest I might get :

Formspring

If you have a question feel free to ask away here. Questions about my obsession with red velvet cupcakes or Orange grove? and some photo topic. I'll be as honest as I can be :)

Happy weekend everyone.

Seniors: Angitta and Sara...and LeeYen?

Graduating from college. How exciting right?
Congratulations to Anggita.







Definitely a funny story behind the picture above. I'm pretty sure I've mentioned that I'd never try to endanger my clients' life, at least not on purpose. Well, we -actually- I didn't realized how close she was to the highway...

Now the island version :)
Sara









Now me? well three years ago yes. Here's proof that mine was never as cool. Here's the picture I used for my graduation announcement. Granted, back then I thought Biology was the only way to go, haha... how things change and how time flies. For one, I no longer own those ear studs (one of many lost personal items), nor do I remember what top I was wearing and I certainly no longer have as much hair. But most of all .... so many unknowns : what to do next, when would my OPT card arrive, etc, etc... Boy am I glad that is OVER. So gals, on to bigger and better things :) Good luck.

Baby Hyrum

I have to say that newborn pictures scare me to death. Between the unexpected leaks and wondering how to handle such a tiny, fragile being,... yeah, you understand right? :) oh and I almost forgot : my miscalculation regarding the size of the bowl didn't help either.But, a big BUT:what a joy this little one was. Just one little cry, one little leak and a nap long enough to get what we needed :)
Meet Baby Moses... that's the first thing Marcus said when he saw this one:




















In case you missed it... check out his HIGHLIGHTS!!! How cute right/unfair :( considering that sometimes, I have to pay someone >$70 to get some.


Thanks Aissa and hope you like them ;) like I said, him and her would be the cutest "baby couple". Haha.

Ahem....

If you haven't already, you will notice that I have been slacking off at my blogging duties. This is mostly due to my current dilemna: Blog or FaceBook sessions? Afterall, everybody's got a FB account now right? Even my mom does. FB offers a wider exposure, but lacks the "homey" feeling of the blog. But its not secret, it takes me twice as much time to blog about a session than to upload it on FB. I should say : when blogging I just put in as twice as much love :)
Anyhow, this was my attempt to explain my short absence. For example these pictures of my "regulars" (HAHAHA) that were taken hmm... a month ago I believe (?)- disclaimer it was literally a 5min "shoot". But hey, it could be worse...for instance I still have not shared any pictures from our Christmas break.

March :I promise to make you more interesting than February.

Matatumua- 2010

How romantic is it to ask for a session with whom you love :)We kinda wandered and found what may be my favorite spot!!!














We couldn't leave out my very patient assistant for the day :)
