A difficult pregnancy lead me to have very few photo sessions over the past 10 months, but incredibly worth it. Here is my munchkin at 4 weeks old, Emma Rose Madison.

My little sister has some AMAZING green eyes...

Merry Christmas! (oh so late, but I JUST got my computer back.)

2010-01-20T10:54:00.000-08:00

I got a new lens for Christmas. I adore it. 50mm f1.8 Canon lens, and it's always on my camera now. Oh j'adore.

Here are a few of my first shots with this lens. My sisters are gorgeous, aren't they!?!

Amanda - TTD

2010-01-20T10:47:00.000-08:00

You might recognize this up and coming model. She's sweet, and this is our second shoot together. After she saw my TTD session with Jules, she just had to do one!

Model Behavior

2009-11-22T22:39:00.000-08:00

This young lady has a bubbly charming personality! Don't mess with this little one though, she's also a bit feisty! With her big LA attitude and laid back California Chick, her photos came out with dynamic range and big personality.

Currently serving her country as an Active Duty Airmen in the USAF, this aspiring model wants to pursue her commercial modeling career once her enlistment is up.

Here are a few from our shoot together, more to add to her blossoming portfolio.

Come home soon

This couple wanted some photos done before A's impending deployment. They wanted some military love photos, as well as some nice family photos for their walls. We headed down to toguchi beach, and were running for cover when it started to rain on us! It was still a beautiful day, and we got a few hints of sunshine here and there. I just love how cute they are together, and how much fun they have with each other! AND to put sweet icing on the cake - they both have AMAZING eyes!

Maternity: Stefanie

2009-10-21T06:43:00.000-07:00

These are photos from my second shoot last Saturday! This was such a fun session, Stefanie and her husband were so funny! They were laid back and just looking to have fun on their photo shoot so that's what we did - had fun, while capturing memories. One would laugh, and the other would get started, and they'd try to be serious, and start the laughter all over again!! Just as we were finishing, we did a few on the beach as the sun started to set, giving them a wonderful glow. What beautiful and fun maternity photos!

Family of 3

2009-10-20T20:01:00.000-07:00

It was such a delight to meet this family and take their first family photos! I hope I did them justice in these photos, they were really a beautiful young family. C is 9 months old, and their first child. I love the colors they chose to wear, and the colors in all their photos. Okinawa is such a beautiful place!
I love baby C's big blue eyes!!
There's a smile!!
The first silhouette was a total accident! But I kept going with the idea and ended up with some great shots of Daddy & Daughter Such a sweet ending to the photoshoot, the sun was in baby C's eyes so she closed them and leaned up against mommy! What a sweetheart.

Maternity: Abbi

2009-10-14T19:04:00.000-07:00

Cute Kyndal!

2009-09-25T23:08:00.000-07:00

Angela was another maternity client, who's baby arrived 3 weeks ago! Kyndal is so sweet, and has cute dimples! I love the dimples in the polka dot dress, they just melt my heart!!!

and..... POP!

2009-09-22T18:03:00.001-07:00

Do you remember this lovely mom-to-be from the About to Pop! post in July? Well, Ladies and Gentlemen... "pop"!! She went from Belly to Bella... Baby Bella that is. She has this adorable face and amazing blue eyes - - and mom still thinks her eyes will change color! After seeing this baby's eyes zoomed in and up close, I don't think so!! Here are a *few* of my favorites. If I posted all my favorites, you'd be on here for HOURS!

Bun in the Sun!

2009-09-10T23:24:00.000-07:00

This cutie's name is Kelly Lynn. She's a 20-year-old mom to be!! We headed down to Toguchi Beach to do a fun in the sun baby bump session. Her husband WAS present, but didn't want to be a part of the photos, but I think Kelly looks amazing and captures a great amount of attention all on her own with her beautiful baby bump. Here are a few of my favorites from the day..

Hopefully in a few months I'll be able to show you the amazing product this lovely young lady and her husband have created!

2009-08-19T03:30:00.000-07:00

I went to visit my parents, sisters, and in-laws this past month, and I thought I would share with you a few of my favorite snaps so far in looking through the photos I took while I was there. I haven't yet finished going through my photos, so if I find more worthy photos, I'll be sure to share!

Maternity - About to pop!

2009-07-15T01:45:00.001-07:00

Ahh the Finale!!

I have to say this was one of the most fun photo shoots I've been on yet. It all started out 5 months ago with Jen's first maternity shoot. Since then I've been able to capture her growing belly in photographs to be cherished forever.

For this final shoot, we wanted to go somewhere really special. I knew of a beach where my husband and I took our own pictures once, and knew it would be the perfect spot. The only trouble was finding it again! Armed with sketchy directions and determination, Jen and I set out on a 45 minute drive to the perfect Okinawan beach.

This photo shoot was really fun. Jen was in good spirits, awaiting the arrival of her baby girl and for the return of her Husband, who has been deployed since January. We decided to shoot many different outfits in different sections of the beach to get the best variety. These are some of my favorite photos from the day, and really, some of my favorites to date!

Maternity - Angela

2009-07-09T03:43:00.000-07:00

This is the Lovely Angela. She is a beautiful person with a sweet personality, which shines through in these maternity photos. Her husband, Ken, was quiet and shy, but a great sport. He posed for all the "cheesey" shots we wanted.

This next photo is one of my favorites from the shoot. So simple, yet it says so much. <3

Maternity - 7 months

2009-06-10T18:30:00.000-07:00

If you think you see a lot of this beautiful mom-to-be, you're right. She is doing a month-by-month maternity session. We started at 5 months when her belly first showed up with an indoor shoot. At 6 months, we took it outdoors to Okuma's south and north beaches, and this shoot, at 7 months, was taken at Torii Station. Her husband is deployed through the length of her pregnancy, and taking month-by-month maternity shots helps to show how much their baby is growing.
Expect to see photos of a beautiful baby girl in about 10 weeks!
