Hawaii June 5th - 11th 2008

We took a family trip to Hawaii with Brian's parents in early June. I love Hawaii, from the minute you land it is so beautiful and peaceful. Getting to Hawaii this trip was a bit trying. We had a connecting flight that took us to Utah, little did we know that we would be in Utah for almost 24 hours. The flight was delayed and then canceled so after staying in the airport for about 10 hours we were shuttled to the nearest hotel and departed Utah the next morning at 6:00 am. I must say my boys were so good! After about five hours in the Utah airport William said and I quote "All I wanted to do today was go to Maui". Once we got to Hawaii we had a fabulous time along with some adventure. We were lucky enough to stay at the Ritz Carlton in Maui, only left the resort twice, once for snorkeling and once for a quad ride in the "rain forest". Along with a beautiful view the Ritz also had some fantastic food. The boys and I were even able to get Brian to try some sushi! O.K. this pictures must only be about 4 hours into the wait, because eventually the table was covered with legos and snacks!








This isin't Hawaii it is UTAH! Make a wish daddy, get us to Hawaii!


Look at that fancy Chocolate Milk. I saw that and said "I'll have what he's having" Hunting for black crabs early in the morning! Morgan my early riser!

What is this? Miguel is helping Morgan! Yes I have mud on my face and the boys think its funny.....

What! No island travel. Nice pics though. You should have traveled the island. I have and it is beautiful. I prefer Big Island and Kauia. Maui getting to pricey and touristy but it is very very nice there.

Ahh Stella

Image
When you get an email from the sister of a past pride asking if you could take pictures of her 6 month old baby girl, you say sure! When she ask you if you can meet at her sister-in-laws house to take the picture because she has a "fun house" you reply yes. Then you show up and see this beautiful baby girl and this incredibly decorated shabby chic house, you burst with excitement inside.. That is just what happened. Elaine emailed me to see if I could take pictures of Stella and asked if we could meet at her sister-in-laws house. Well, you can see for yourself that Stella is beautiful and the house was a photographer's dream. Elaine had all her own idea's for Miss Stella. We had so much fun and Stella was a trooper to say the least. I loved how Stella would smile at her mommy over and over again. She is truly a happy baby. This shoot inspired me to convert some of my office into a studio. I called my friend Nancy after the shoot and was blabbing away on how much fun

~George and Catherine~

Image
I met Catherine just about a month before her wedding and truly liked her instantly. When we met she came alone and was so calm about her wedding and what she was looking for. I was pleased she booked me and looked forward to working with her and meeting George. When I got to Catherine's house she was again very calm and taking her time getting ready. That is when I met George for the first time, he to was very calm taking his time getting ready. The wedding was very simple, two people in love getting married. Once the I do's were said the rest of the afternoon looked like the next few images. Giddy, smile's, more smiles of joy. I loved watching them and would get caught up in the moment. Had to remind myself to take pictures:-) Catherine looked so beautiful, very classy and George so handsome, movie star couple status I would say. Again, more smiles, giggles and glances. It was so special to watch, I mean to take pictures of.;-) To look over the pictures one would not noti
