Cousins

Cousins were the only thing that i had that were remotely close to siblings. I grew up with my 2 cousins, Chelsea & Chandra. So in a way, THEY were my sisters. Here are 2 cousins, that may not always get along now, but i'm sure they'll be closer as they grow older. They will be mean to Kyler & not include her in things, like we were mean to Chandra....but as they get older they'll look back on it & laugh.

Another Menza

Today I had the opportunity to shoot the very large Menza ohana. I was supposed to also take pics of Auntie Brigette & the grandkids, but she wasn't feeling well today, so that will be rescheduled for another day. While Auntie was resting, the gang headed over to Lissa & Io's for a small shoot of all the families. Here is the newest addition to the Menza Keiki....this is Miss Kyler. SOOOOO teeny & so sweet!

These boots were made for walkin

This is Kaha'i while hanging out at mommy's surprise baby shower. He's as happy as can be with his juice, walking around in his oh so cute fire engine boots. You can't tell me that his boots are not adorable!?!?

Its Cold!!

So all of a sudden our beautiful, bright, sunny days have disappeared & its not beginning to get COLD!! The fall has rudely interupted the comfortable warmth. However, along with fall comes beautiful colors. This tree is outside of my work in Kent. I pulled up to work this morning & it stands out compared to the others that it sits next to.

Silly String Game

So this is one of many games that we women play at baby showers. You're given a big thingy of yarn & you have to guess the circumference of the mommy's tummy using as much string as you think you need. Some people have their "ways" of guessing the size. Some people put the end of the string to their chest & pull the yarn out to the right side of their body to give it an arms length & then some. But not this fun blonde lady, Auntie Sue....she had her own way. She went & measured the circumference of her "girls" and used that as her measurement for Aloha. Turns out the girls are bigger....hahahahha (love you Auntie Sue-lani)

CHELSEA!!!

This is Chelsea and she's a doll. She belongs to my hula sissy, Lynn & her hubby, Mike (big sissy, Jess & big bro, Michael). She's so teeny & frail, looking like a baby who's in only 6-7 months old, but is actually 13 months old. Everytime anyone from halau see's her we always yell "CHELSEA!!" and she looks over at us like we're nuts. So sweet...

New Babies Are Arriving

Early this morning, Iolani & Lissa welcomed their new baby girl. She weighed in at 5lbs. 11oz. & is 19 inches long. I know her name is Kyler, but am unsure of the rest. I'll post her name when I get it. Congrats guys!! This is Lissa, blocking the sun from her eyes. Taken at Auntie Bridgette's bbq.

Monkey See, Monkey Do

These are my crazy hula sissy's at Kaha'i's birthday party. This is their rendition of hear no evil, see no evil & speak no evil....the only one that's doing it right is "hear no evil"...the rest is questionable..lol

Car Shoots

While I don't do them as well as Armin (www.arminausejo.com) or Josh Mackey (www.mackeydesigns.com), this was the first time that I had tagged along for a car photo shoot. I got great pointers on angles & such, because a car can't pose for you, you have to make it stand out. This was taken in June when hanging out at Alki with Armin.
