THE MANGUNS ..MATERNITY!

During our session these two were asking about island life, when I moved here and why /2005 for the weather/, how I like it /umm..it's amazing!/, what's hard about it /missing family/, etc.  They have visited a few times already, and have wanted to make the move, but it was never the right time.  Now with a baby on the way, they don't want to be away from family.  /Good call!  It's hard without grandma!/  Hawai'i is such an extreme from anywhere on the mainland that you just have to do it and hope for the best.  Or go back.  Nothing is permanent.  Except having kids...you'll now forever be parents to that sweet baby and as they say, life will never be the same.  In the most amazing, exhausting, challenging, wonderful way.  Congrats you two:)

ROSEMARIE + JONATHAN ..MARRIED!

These two found the perfect location for their honeymoon.  Tropical, beach, ocean, secluded and oh yes...sunsets!  I joined them for one at their resort, the Fairmont Orchid on the Big Island of Hawai'i.  With perfect weather /nearly/ every day of the year, this resort which boasts it's own personal beach, luau, gourmet restaurant, palm tree-peppered pool area, sitting on the west side of the island to look straight into the sunset off the water, this was indeed the perfect spot for a romantic honeymoon getaway.

We are so excited to help introduce Mila to the world!  Now 3 months old, she's the newest member of our Hawai'i Ohana.  Can't get enough of the little ones, and this is my favorite age...still so tiny yet growing just a little chunky, so alert and starting to add a little to the conversation:)  Thanks for cooperating sweet baby girl!

I had such a great time with the Lin's.  I also had an insightful time with the Lin's!  Being 6.5 months pregnant with a young toddler at home, I was watching this family with curious eyes.  Curious to get a glimpse into my near future.  But these two cuties were of the most well-behaved little ones I've worked with so far.  It actually looked easy.  I'm sure it won't be.

Congratulations to Rheannon on making it to her senior year!  We headed out to the Old Kona Airport Beach Park for the first set of photos, and having been BFF's since birth, she wanted her mom to join her for a few.  Our second session took place up mauka /mountain-side/ near Hokulia. Best wishes to Rhea in future endeavors!

This little doll is turning ONE!  She did not like her toes in the sand, but she was such a peach.  And those pigtails...I can't even stand the amount of adorable!

While on vacation on the Big Island, Luis took Bethany out to the beach for the sunset...and surprised her with a ring and a proposal!  They called the next day wanting their engagement photos right away and in the paradise that it happened.  Congratulations to the soon-to-be Mr. + Mrs.!
