Red Heart Photography » wedding lifestyle photography in Hawaii

I just gotta say I love E-sessions. Shot tonight. Two couples. Two photos. Love.

I’m back! 

Natalie wrote me two weeks ago in a last ditch effort to get photos done before she moved away with her fiance on Valentine’s Day.  Since the baby has been happy and healthy, I decided to say YES and scheduled a 2 hours session to test the waters.  It worked out SO well.  The baby stayed with daddy and brothers and I got to run around and have fun….. er, I mean work.  :)

They were waiting for me under this tree so we just started shooting right there.  TA DA! 

How fun is this fountain?!  Next time I shoot here I need someone daring enough to go in the fountain. Hint, hint.

Then we moved over to the Natatorium that is right next to the Waikiki Aquarium where Natalie worked while she attended UH.  I love this spot. 

I had so much fun.  I felt so free not being pregnant and getting a break from diapers.  I am so looking forward to the weddings booked for 2010. 

In the mean time, if you want to do a short photo shoot (2 hours or less) before May, send me a note.

I am due on Saturday!  I am so excited, but there is still SO much work to do… 

My husband and I have been working on a huge and fantastic job for Hawaiian Airlines who recently celebrated their 80th Anniversary.  We went to all the islands to shoot corporate head shots and on the job photos of their employees.  I have really enjoyed spending the last few weeks with my hubby, but it really put a halt on my other work.

We spent one evening watching the sunset with the whole family while shooting Honolulu Airport.

This shot is about 12 images merged together in photoshop.

I shot my LAST on location session last week.  It was so fun to be on the beach again but I was feeling really pregnant.  It is time to relax on the beach and not run and climb after love birds.  Here are a few of my favorites so far. 

Do you recognize Jilly?  She met and fell in love with Jake when she was off fighting fires this summer on the mainland.  Way more to come next week after I wrap up my last weddings of the year.  

If you are wondering about my fun post processing, I recently won Jesh’s Color Shift Actions in a photo contest.  I am still playing and figuring out what I like and what works for me.

Up next I have some really cute DIY baby things to share.  If I don’t have the baby first…
