Red Heart Photography » wedding lifestyle photography in Hawaii

Aside from my hubby and 4 beautiful boys, my business is my life force.  Photography is my passion and one of the greatest loves of my life. 

This week has been such a culmination of all the work I have been doing the last 3 years.  The wedding season has been kicked into high gear and my couples this year are so awesome! With over 100K hits on my blog site in the last week and being a part of Southern Wedding’s IT LIST by Lara Casey today, I feel like I am finally going to be a part of something bigger then me.  I have the dream and the desire, and now it’s all happening. 

Please check it out.  The other photographs in the post are so visually stunning.  I am honored to be even mentioned, let alone featured, with that caliber of talent. 

If you have a moment and feel so compelled, please leave a comment on the Southern Weddings blog.  Mahalo!

Thank you Lara Casey!

This lady is so talented. Her eye for design and positively infectious joy for life make her one of my favorite wedding vendors on Oahu.  She can provide everything you need to make your wedding beautiful, from the most personal and unique  full wedding experience (linens, lounge furniture, tents, drapes, lighting, ect.) to the smallest touches (bouquets and boutonnieres) for more intimate events. 
In celebration of her GORGEOUS new studio, Shilhi and I had a little photo shoot.  

And  here are my kids looking like fish out of water in Shilhi’s elegant meeting space.

Shilhi can be found on the web here: website passionroots.com    facebook page

I can’t wait to work with her again soon!

EDIT: Here are a few iPhone photos 
I took at the Passion Root open house: 

Shilhi sure knows how to throw a party!

Hold the phone!

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.
