Kauai Sunrise – Importance of Vacations

I just got back from the beautiful Hawaii island of Kauai where my husband and I celebrated our 15 year wedding anniversary. What a great way to relax and get rejuvenated! When I was in college, I worked for a wine store and the owner mentioned how important vacations were for her and her husband. She said it not only helped with their relationship, but with their businesses as well. She explained that when you schedule vacations, you have something to look forward to as well as refreshed you, so that you could work harder when you returned. Those words of wisdom stuck with me and was probably one of the most valuable lessons I learned in college. I can see why many organizations use the motto, “Work hard play hard!” I hope you are taking the time to schedule regular vacations in your life. If not, start now! I promise that it will make you happier and more productive. Until then, enjoy the image below that I took at sunrise on our last morning of our vacation at our resort at the Kauai Beach Villas in Lihue.

There’s something extra meaningful about an heirloom portrait when your little one is wearing something made by hand.  A homemade gown or outfit carries its own story - the time, love and care that went into creating it - making the finished portrait feel even more timeless.

These are the details that turn a beautiful image into a true family heirloom, meant to be treasured and passed down for generations.

Three months of sweet smiles, bright eyes and so much personality already. 

This little guy’s session was part of my Watch Me Grow Plan, designed to document those important milestones throughout baby’s first year. Because they change so quickly, and every stage deserves to be remembered.

If you love the idea of fall family portraits but still want plenty of soft, beautiful green in the background, now is the perfect time to schedule. 

Late summer and early fall give us that gorgeous in-between season. Lush greenery, warm light and updated portraits before the landscape begins to change.

Happy 20th birthday to my sweet Lily Mae! 

Twenty years ago today, I had no idea how completely my world was about to change. I still remember all the little details - the morning walk, making homemade cinnamon bread, the doctor’s appointment that unexpectedly turned into a hospital stay, the movie we watched while we waited for your arrival, the sweet nurses and doctors that helped welcome you into the world (thank you Mike for the epidural)…and then the moment they placed you on my chest and we met for the very first time.

I could not have asked for a better daughter. I am so incredibly proud of the woman you have become and love watching you find your own way in this world. I cannot wait to see where life takes you next.

No matter how grown you are, you will always be my baby girl. Happy 20th, Lily Mae. You are my whole world. 🤍

Happy birthday to this sweet boy! 

It has been such an honor to photograph him throughout his little life - and especially special to spend the evening before his big day capturing this season with his family.

We chose a beautiful park with easy access and very little walking, yet plenty of gorgeous spots for portraits. Add in that golden evening light, and it truly felt like a little bit of magic. 

Wishing you the happiest birthday and a wonderful year ahead!
