Cook Family

Small world, this Hawaiian island.  We set up a shoot with the Cook family and when we got to Magic Island, we realized that they looked really familiar.  Their family had actually visited our church a few weeks earlier!  Their two girls were adorably sweet and friendly, so it made for a really fun shoot at the park.  I don't usually go with the sepia type of look for photos, but I loved the way it looked with some of these images.  So classic!  

The Okahara Family

We met the Okahara family at the Yelp Halloween event where we took these gorgeous pics:

Leila owns Kreativephoto, a really nice photo booth company.  If you're not familiar with the concept, (you know, for those who were in space for the last ten years or so), photo booths are set up at events like weddings, fundraisers, first birthdays and Yelp parties.  You go into the booth and 1, 2, 3 cheese!  Then Leila puts your photos on this really cute strip with the name of the event on the bottom.  The print quality that they use is really nice and the pictures came out FAST.  They were one of the most popular spots at the Yelp party, so I was really glad when Leila called to take family pictures with us.  They have a really sweet (and photogenic) toddler that they were a little worried might act shy, but Nancy got him out of his shell within a few minutes, and after that, he had as much fun as the rest of the family.  What a charming smile! 

Get in touch with Leila at leila@kreativephotobooth.com if you're looking for a photo booth for your own event.  She is really sweet and I'm sure they would love to take pictures at your next party!

Viernes Family Mini Session

The Ito's

     The Ito Family is back with a new edition!  They welcomed a baby girl into their lives last year, and this was the first time we've gotten to photo the whole family.  She looks like she's doing fine holding her own against her two big brothers.  Julie & Marshall, your family is alway so much fun to photograph!  We end up having a great workout by the time we're done.  Hope to do it again next year!  

Ashton's 100th Day

Ashton celebrated his 100th day with us at the beach. 100th day is a special birthday celebration for Korean babies celebrating their passage out of infancy and into a long and happy childhood.

Don't you want to PINCH these cheeks?

This is one of our favorite shots. They were laying with their heads together for less than two seconds before Ashton went straight for the hair and earrings! But their family is so cute, it just looks like the poster for a Korean comedy. Ashton looks so satisfied.
