Mama’s got a whole new website!

Well, what are you waiting for?

This is my friend Janna who was my best friend in high school. We started in the same place but have lived our lives so different. She went off to college and taught English in Kyoto, Japan.  I stayed on Oahu, got married, and had kids. Although our life paths have gone in different directions I am happy that they have crossed again. 

Janna is now a realtor on the North Shore.  She surfs and does yoga on a daily basis. I am so jelly beans.  

And now for a personal update.  Baby R has yet to make an appearance.  I am now over a week late and getting anxious.  I was really hoping 12/12 would be the date (easy to remember!) but no.  Whenever he decides to show up, I am so ready.  I can’t wait to show him off to his big brothers.

This is the third winter in a row that I have shot my friend and model Jilly.  She is always down for anything. She has climbed up trees, jumped in boats, and now deep sea swimming and always in a white dress.  Now Jilly is engaged and planning her wedding for May of 2011.  I am so excited to shoot her big day.  Plans have been made to go jump off Waimea Bay’s jump rock after the ceremony.  :)  

We met up last week to catch up and do a little shoot on the East side of Oahu. 

Here is one of me @ 8 months by Jilly.  

We had such a great time. Underwater photography has been a dream of mine for so long.  I am so excited to have the ability to make it come true.

This September has gone by so fast.  I wasn’t sure if I would keep up with the last 2 weeks, but I did!  I have 3 more weddings this year, leaving a month to wrap up everything before my baby boy arrives.  I will still be answering e-mails and album building as the picks come in, but I am going to try to take the whole month of December off to enjoy my family. 

No weddings until next week Wednesday, so I will be busy working on editing and albums until then.  

Thanks to everyone that has been commenting and showing their support.  

Have a great week!
