I enjoy shooting images such as these where I can really play with the lines and shapes & abstract designs of something.

I think he was praying for dear life: 'please don't get out the flyswatter'!! =) I was trying to get a macro of the flower and he wouldn't leave his pollen-post!

I can never get enough of the beaches around here. On this day I'd actually photographed a wedding at Waimanalo Beach and stayed after to get some shots of the views. This one was interesting to me because you can see the moon in the corner, the lighthouse on the cliff, if you look closely there is a parasailer up in the clouds and the girl is balancing on the guys back down there....with a football in her hand =) Maybe it's just me but I love the details!! And overall it's a beautiful scene!

My website is in the works.....this is what i've got so far and it's coming along as my business grows. I'm enjoying having my own personal blog that I've created on my desktop too, very convenient and easy. I've also started this blog in Blogger to network and meet new people. I love meeting new people =)

weddings...

Well i've started photographing weddings this year and i'm in heaven!! I have to say that yes it is work at times but to be doing what I absolutely LOVE to do is an indescribable blessing. I'm living on Oahu right now and it's been a perfect place to have really gotten serious about my passion for capturing the beauty of this wonderful life! A wedding is one time in one's life where they want every moment captured forever to reflect back again and again through many generations, it's a joy to be a part of these special days for couples!
