Candice & Ryan... Such a wonderful couple :)

This Saturday I was so BLESSED to have the opportunity to do a shoot with Candice & Ryan.  Let me tell you, this is one of the cutest couples EVER!  Our shoot started at about 4:30 and we finished about 8:30, it was one of the most fun 4 hours I've had in a long time and was like a dream shoot, starting with the find of a GREAT GREEN WALL, and funky old couch, followed by a painted palm tree, a great Hawaiian "field of mountains," some rusted junk, and a beautiful sunset lit BEACH on the North Shore!  Here is just a smidgen of some shots that we got from a few of those GREAT locations, but if you want to see the rest... I'll be posting a slideshow shortly, so keep checking back! But for now... ENJOY!!! :)

Who sat on this beach?

Ann's Birthday Slideshow!

Ann's Birthday!

Hello all so sorry for the delay but it has been a very VERY BUSY week...

Anyways, on Tuesday, March 3rd I had the privilege of photographing another birthday party!  The guest of honor's name was Ann and she is a fantastic person and has some really great friends who took her to a wine tasting restaurant called Brasserie Du Vin.  It was a great restaurant has a very rustic, french country side cottage feel... I loved that atmosphere.  But here are some pictures to add to the anticipation ;)  I will post the slideshow very soon...

A GREAT CHURCH!!!

Well folks, I have been living in Hawaii now for approximately 4 months, since I've been here I have been searching for a good church.  As many of you may have experienced finding a church is somewhat of a process, and I've been to some great churches but none really felt like home... until now!!!  My new room mate told us about this church and we started going and it has been great the people are AWESOME, and Pastor Jordan delivers GREAT and INSPIRING, HEARTFELT messages with a subtle wit about him that keeps you enthused during the message.  Every week it is a bitter sweet battle because I can't wait to get to church and spend time with all the amazing people!!!  But knowing that the next day is Monday, oye... but facing the week is not so bad, when you've heard God's word, through great delivery and great people!  Here are some pictures of our church, Bluewater Mission, today we had a pot luck get together, a great time of fun and fellowship!  God is truly blessing my life!!!  Enjoy!

Hi all!

Sorry for the delay on posting these pics, but it's been an interesting start to the week... anywho, this weekend was absolutely FANTASTIC!  God just never ceases to amaze, this weekend I got to go on an awesome hike!  And for those of you who no me, I've never been a big hiking fan, but for some reason hiking in Hawaii is just more enjoyable... ok a lot more enjoyable!  Maybe it has something to do with the location?  wink wink;  So back to the weekend, I went on a hike with my older sister, her boyfriend and some of his friends, good company, great view, AWESOME GOD!  You know, no other being could create colors and scenery like these and hold bragging rights, I bet got comes up with these types settings, to just remind us of how magnificent He truly is!  Here are some pics from our hike up Lanikai, in Kailua, Hawaii.  ENJOY and be blessed!

Soo, many people think of pancakes and blueberry, banana, macadamian nut, or good old fashion butter milk "flap jacks."  Me, I think of chocolate chip :) YUM!  Those are the best kinds, every once in a while, I like to make some for breakfast, you know gotta cheat once in a while, but I pride myself in my chocolate chip pancakes, take a look... you can almost;  almost, taste them :)

One Handed, thank you, thank you ;)

It's not chocolate chip pancakes with out the key ingredients!!!

A little peanut butter and condensed milk, sooo good! :D
