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 Baby Book layout sample

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?!!!

mini boden

A common question I always get from mom's is, "what should my kids wear?" Personally, I like funky bright colors, cute trendy hats, stylish shoes, sunglasses and accessories of any kind. When my friend Lynly told me about mini Boden, I instantly was in love. THIS IS CUTE! THIS IS WHAT I LIKE!!!!!!!!! THESE ARE THE KINDS OF CLOTHES THAT MAKE FOR A GREAT PICTURE. I requested a catalog (exclusively mail order) and it came in today! AHHHH...I need some will-power to have some self control. It's dangerous being on maternity leave!!! Check out their site: www.bodendirect.com and tell me what you think! :) They are offering 15% off and free shipping!!!

Asti & Jr. - I do!

I made it. All I needed to do was make it through the 23rd of May and not give birth. whew...close call! This was my last wedding before I pop and now I'm all clear to have this baby! Asti and Jr. got married at Paradise Cove. It was suppose to rain but was a beautiful day...they were the easiest and most relaxed couple and didn't stress out one bit on their big day! Their reception was later that day and yes, that is Kapena performing live - what a treat! Here are some favorites from the day!
