1 week

whoa...how you forget how tiring it is to have a newborn in the house.

She's here!

Lil' L - Newborn

So I really like to take newborn photos within the first 10 days of their arrival into the world just because they are still squinchy (is this a word?), peeling, sleepy, oh so small, cute and full of innocence. Meet little Lauren who is all of the above and then some! :)
Look at those eyes...


See what I mean about peeling feet? GOSH, I LOVE NEWBORNS!!! It's good to capture this short stage in their life because before you know it, your little newborn isn't so little anymore.

Okay, I think that's it for me. T-minus 4 days and we'll have a newborn in our house as well. Wish us luck!

Aileen + Alex - Engaged

Okay, peeps! T-minus 2 weeks and I shot this engagement session, swollen feet and all!!! Gosh, sit down because I have alot to share. When Aileen asked me what to wear, I told her to pick out some cute dresses and shoes and BOY DID SHE DELIVER!!!!! I had such a hard time narrowing down these pictures because they all rocked...HONESTLY! I love good fashion and willing participants who are up to doing anything ~ and yes, they were up for anything! (My kind of people!!! :))

So we started off at the park. Work it Aileen!

Aileen and Alex will be having 2 weddings - one in New Jersey and one in Hawaii. So lucky! Before our session, Alex wondered if he would have to "gaze into Aileen's eyes and do cheesey poses." I tried to keep the cheese factor to a minimal! hahahaha


Aileen and I share a love for Tacori. Our settings are almost alike.


Those sweet shoes are Christian Louboutin so they deserved a picture all by itself! :)

Change of outfits, right in the park...another cute get up!


Then off to the beach since they do live in Hawaii now! Congratulations Aileen & Alex - I'm so glad we got to do this before I pop! I had so much fun today and can't wait for your big day!

Jolie is 2 days older than Camden. Her mommy checked out of Queen's the day after I checked in. It's really hard to believe that both our kids are 21 months. I photographed Jolie every month for the first year of her life all for this baby book. Don't you just want to squeeze her? Dang I'm lucky to photograph some cute babies!

two is better than one!

These twins were sooooo well behaved...it was amazing---not one tear the entire photoshoot! I've known the wondertwins daddy since highschool. Yes, way back in the day at Mililani High School. I've photographed their whole family so it's always nice to see an old friend become a daddy! Here are some of my favorites from our shoot. It's always nice to go to their house to get pictures of them in their nursery....because before you know it, the cribs will be taken down and packed away. Babies also tend to do better in their own environment! Gosh darn, aren't they cute?!!!
