Serendipity Maternity
July 18, 2010
Roxy and I planned to shoot her maternity photos down at Fukushen Chinese Garden, but when we arrived after the long drive we were greeted with a “closed” sign! Luckily, there was a beautiful little park just a short walk down the street that served as a perfect backdrop for her session:) I love clover fields! And fountains! And humongous gnarled banyan trees! Here are a few highlights…

Fun and Laughter X 4
July 4, 2010
This beautiful and fun family of four had such a great connection…I can almost hear their laughter as I look through their proofs:) They’re leaving Okinawa after many years here, and I felt lucky to be able to capture them with the island they love as a backdrop before they head off to their next adventure.

Engaged! Alisha and Chris
June 25, 2010
It was such a pleasure to meet this young couple down at Cape Zanpa shortly after their engagement:) They were so full of energy and love, it was impossible not to get swept up in the excitement! We were also very fortunate to get an absolutely gorgeous night, and one of the last humidity-free days of the year…sigh…
Congratulations you two…and I wish you all the best in your new life together!

Pretty in Pink
June 22, 2010
The color palette that this lovely family chose for their session was so delicious, I couldn’t wait to get started! The neutral colors of the beach and park make a perfect backdrop for the bright oranges and pinks. These two little girls are about the same age as my own daughters, but thankfully they don’t have “Photographer’s Child Syndrome” (symptoms: run away screaming when camera is pulled out) like mine do, and were delightful and extremely cooperative.
Not to mention completely GORGEOUS…

Mother Daughter Day
June 9, 2010
The park was so gorgeous and just saturated with color from the rains when I met Christina and Kaitlyn for their mother-daughter shoot early in the morning. They have the best bond, and I felt so privileged to be able to stand in the background and capture it. Portraits of just Kaitlyn were also top priority, and I was riveted by her amazing eyes…
…And super-sweet personality:)
On to some family photos…

They are just beautiful. I really LOVE these images. I wish I had something similar with my 2 daughters.
Terri and Stephen – Engaged!
June 6, 2010
I feel so lucky for the opportunity to photograph a young couple in love. We braved the interesting smells and headed to Murasaki Mura and the beach on a balmy evening for Terri and Stephen’s engagement photos. Red is my very favorite color, so I always enjoy going here and spending some time surrounded by the lovely red Japanese architecture. They were a truly inspiring couple as well, especially because they had braved long distances to be together. We got so many great photos…here are just a few…
Congratulations to you both and I wish you all the best with your upcoming wedding and life together (in the same place!).
Night at the Marina
May 25, 2010
I am addicted to finding new locations, and so I was super excited when Jen and Ben decided they wanted their family shots at the Ginowan Marina. I also love boats of all kinds, so double excitement! This location was extra special to Ben, because he learned to sail while here in Okinawa. Here they are with their two beautiful children:)
Sisters
May 21, 2010
Sweet Cassidy and Peyton were back for one more session before they moved off of the island for good. These lovely girls have such different personalities, it will be so fun for their family to get to watch them grow up together! Here are some favorites from a park in Naha…
Bravo to mom Leslie on the outfit choices!!!
