Low Tide Magic

May 18, 2010

Low tide at Toguchi Beach is always so fun, especially when you’re there with 3 energetic boys!!!  Shots of the boys and couple shots of Mom and Dad were top priority, and we were so lucky to catch the beautiful evening light and a breathtaking sunset.  Sigh…I love this place:)

Evening at the Park

April 5, 2010

Mark and Shiloh and their amazing kiddos met me at my favorite time of day–early evening–for some family photos just before he had to leave the country for work.  We just barely snuck it in!!  These kids were so full of life and curiousity that they were a joy to watch.  They were also extraordinarily sweet to each other… normally it is difficult to get photos of three children all sitting together, but these little ones made it look easy!!!  Here are some highlights from the evening…

Sleepy Newness

Sweet baby Michael was the strongest newborn I have ever seen, already holding his head up like a pro!  And such a wonderful cuddly little bundle–a joy to photograph:)  Here are some of my favorites from our session, as well as some with the proud parents:)

And lastly, the elusive newborn smile:)  A little preview of the many joyful smiles to come:)

The title says it all…I am so in love with these photos.  They were taken just as the cherry blossoms were at their peak.  Mother and daughter are gorgeous, and the matching shoes are adorable!!!  It’s hard to pick out just a few favorites from this session, but here you go!!

Baby Sophie

March 9, 2010

So many babies have been born lately!  There must have been something in the water about 10 months ago.  Here are a few of sweet cuddly 2 week old Sophie.  She should come with a warning–”may induce baby fever in certain people (photographers)…”

I’ll post from some more babies in the next week or two!!

Kaley and Mark met me at one of my very favorite locations, Fukushu-en Chinese Gardens down near Naha.  This place just blows me away with it’s atmosphere and wonderful and interesting architecture.  Throw in an insanely gorgeous, photogenic, in-love couple, and I’m like a kid in a candy store!!  It’s impossible to show you all my favorites from this session, but here’s a few!!

And finally, one of my all-time favorites…
