Flying over the island gave me such a thrill! It was a beautiful day and Don Mastrangelo, owner of Hawaiian GPS, had so generously offered to take me and my husband for a ride in his plane. Flying so close to the mountains and coastline was amazing! It was quite an experience to view the island this way. Below are some of the beautiful views we had from the air. You can see more arial and landscape photography on my website.
Thank you for the wonderful day Don! We had such a great time with you. The experience was so memorable, we won’t soon forget it.

I couldn’t resist putting up a quick image of the precious newborn I had the pleasure of photographing just a couple days ago. She is so beautiful! I’ll be posting more from the photo session soon.
Creative Newborn Photography: Fun with Props

I am so in love with my little girl. I can’t seem to take enough photos of her! Babies just don’t stay little long enough! They grow so fast. Everything about her soft skin and sweet spirit make this stage of life unforgettable.
This first image made a great baby announcement. I just love it.
What a treasure!
I pass by these monstera leaves almost every day. Even the smallest ones are giant and make the baby look so tiny.
The basketball took me by surprise.
He set it down on her lap when he was finished.
Big brother cannot wait to play…
so sweet.
Camera Bags…

I love this Kelly Moore camera bag! It’s definitely on my wishlist…although they never seem to be in stock. I think it makes me want it even more.
Now, do I really need another camera bag?
YES! Of course I do. And this one is so perfect.
Preordering is going on right now at www.kellymoorebag.com
Summer Fun Photo Session
July 13, 2010 | Filed Under Children | 4 Comments
Popsicles, bike rides, cartwheels in the green grass…were all icons of summer when I was a kid. The highlights of my childhood revolved around long summer days with my imagination. Enormous bubbles made from dish soap were my mom’s specialty. I was reminded of this the last time I took my kids to visit and she had big bubble surprises waiting for them to play with. (My boys think grandma is the coolest!)
When I was looking through these images of a recent bubble play date, I felt that same childhood enthusiasm all over again. Summer is such fun!
Enjoy the rest of this fabulous summer!

Simple, with a lot of POP, gerber daisies make excellent newborn photography props.
My little angel…
I love this adorable hat. It’s my favorite accessory. Although it’s summer, it’s proven quite useful after bath time when Pepper is cold.

My new little girl has arrived. I’ve patiently been waiting for her and am so happy she is finally here! The whole family fell in love with her instantly and even her big brothers can’t stop staring. We love our Pepper Jeanne.
Although I’ll try to keep posting photo shoots from this past spring, don’t be surprised to see many more newborn pictures this next month.
Just three days old…

Turning 7 was a big deal for ethan…but then again, every birthday is a big deal.
The silliness, the fun, the celebration…so much to look forward to! What a happy boy.
I love you my darling Ethan.
A couple of months ago I started giving photography lessons to my son on Furlough Fridays. Ethan was so excited to hold a real SLR camera and learn about the automatic settings and how to take care of the camera. It was the cutest thing to show him a couple of tips and then follow him around to see what he wanted to photograph. He told me what he was looking at and why and then I could help him capture the shot.
Afterwards, while we looked at his images, we talked about composition and what he thought made the picture interesting. Asking a child to show you what he sees through the lens is such a great experience. We both had fun and learned something new…especially about perspective. Every couple of weeks since he has asked for another mini lesson. I’m so happy to have fostered this new interest in him. Who knows, maybe he will follow in my footsteps.

I’m so sad to see the Judds leave the island. They are such a fun, wonderful family and will be missed so much! Good luck with your new adventure!
