A New Start A very Happy New Year! I love the start of a new year. A chance to start fresh with grand ideas, plans, and adventures. Two big ones are already in the books – a wedding in Hungary and a 200-mile relay race around Big Island. It’s going to be a good year. […]

Oahu Sunflower Fields Ah, sunflowers. I can’t think of many things happier than a field of towering yellow flowers stretching as far as the eye can see. For years crowds have been drawn to these bright fields in Wailua. They would sneak in for photo ops or to snip a couple of the giant beauties […]

It’s been another strange weather month in Hawaii with hurricane threats and tropical storms. It’s kept us out of the ocean and pushed us to explore alternative entertainment like the skate park and bowling at Pali Lanes. Bowling was really fun, but I’m embarrassed to say I got a finger injury that still hurts 3 […]

Well, I guess that’s it. Summer is officially over. Ironically, El Nino has been bringing us a string of hurricanes accompanied by the hottest, muggiest weather of the year. It’s also brought flash floods which have mucked up the water. So this month, we’ve traded our ocean time for tree climbing and indoor pursuits. We […]
Late one night I was overcome with rock fever and on a whim bought the family tickets to Seattle. What we were going to do in Seattle was not as important as just getting off the island. In my haste I forgot about major events like end of the year school fundraisers and preschool graduation. […]

With family visiting this month we had some time to play tourist. A stop at Halona Cove Beach, Makapuu Beach, Makua Caves, Yokahama Bay, and Kualoa Ranch. My personal favorite was a spontaneous sibling hug after sharing a special seashell. Check out more families around the country starting with Megan Elle.

On the 10th of each month I post a snippet from our daily lives. It’s part of a project with other photographers and gives me the nudge I need to take photos of my own family. This March was … well, let’s call it an unusual month. I’m grateful for this project because the days […]

I’m participating in a fun project with a group of lifestyle photographers to document more of every day lives. For our family, every day life often involves the beach. We’re only a block away and the kids still complain, “Why can’t we just buy a house right on the beach?” Sure, kid, I’ll work on […]
So we’re back on Oahu and I have to say, it’s good to be warm again. Actually I had my first session after returning today and even though the weather has been funky lately, it was a gorgeous morning. Mellow waters lapping on the shore, a bit of mist hanging above the trees, and warm […]

Have you ever spent days preparing and packing for a major trip and arrive at the airport with children that are so excited to get on an airplane they could explode only to be turned away? Because that happened. So here’s a little PSA for you. Don’t try to travel internationally with a passport that […]

An evening with my duo. We stopped at Jack in the Box to squeeze in an hour of beach time (priorities, right?). Well, it was supposed to be an hour running down the sand hill at Kailua Beach Park, but as usual, they ended up in the water. One of these days i’ll remember to […]
