Okinawa Couple Photography - yours

The life that I have

The life that I have

is all that I have 

and the life that I have 

is yours. 

The love that I have 

Of the life that I have 

Is yours and yours and yours. 

A sleep I shall have 

A rest I shall have 

Yet death will be a pause 

For the peace of my years 

In the long green grass 

Will be yours and yours and yours. 

- Leo Marks

Okinawa Body Art Maternity - before

Before you were conceived I wanted you

Before you were born I loved you

Before you were here an hour I would die for you

This is the miracle of a Mother's LOVE

Daily Snaps - the way

You have your way. I have my way. 

As for the right way, the correct way, 

and the only way, it doesn't exist.

- Friedrich Nietzsche

Today's Daily Snap - perspective

Milk Monster has started watching TV upside down. What is funny I use to do the exact same thing when I was little. What's great about this picture is that life is about perspective. If you don't like what you see change your perspective! 

Thank you for stopping by. Sorry it's short and sweet but I have been a busy bee. Tomorrow is an early day with a beautiful newborn!!! Yeah!!!

Have a wonderful evening with your love ones!!!

I've been missin' my DH but he is doing what he does best!!

Catch you on the flip side!!!

same time. same place.

Remeber to check out Kristi's and Jessica's photo-a-day challenge! Also make sure to leave Kristi some blog love or FB love about her maternity session.

Okinawa Urban Maternity -your presence

Nine Months

My precious little baby,

I have loved you from the start.

You are a tiny miracle

Laying close to my heart.

Each day I feel your presence,

Each day you quickly grow,

Each day your heart beats softly,

As only I could know.

So, I'll keep this in a special place

And remember each year through,

Of this special time in my life

In the months I carried you.

This is a sneak peek more than a daily snap. I'm going to post the picture I took for the daily snaps later this evening. This morning I started my day off like any other Monday. Typhoon Trio were sleepy as all Mondays start off. They love school so at least it's not grumpy sleepiness. But for me I was excited about getting Typhoon Trio off to school because I was heading out the door to shoot an urban shoot with my cohort Ms. Kristi of Kristi James Photography. Yes, the same Kristi that is doing the Photo-A-Day Challenge. This time things were going to be a little different for her. She wasn't behind the lens. I had the priviledge of shooting a very important time in her life, her maternity session!! She is absolutely RADIENT!! She wanted an urban maternity session. So last friday we scoped out our locations of interest. I was really excited to shoot her since like most photographers we don't have many pictures of ourselves. We are more then likely to be found behind the lens. I'm also glad that we were able to do the session because Kristi's DH is currently deployed. I'm very sure he is going to love the photographs of his beautiful wife with her adorable baby bump! My favorite picture is the one below the poem but really she's so BEAUTIFUL I decided to share more than one =) Todays session was really great but there was a special person missing too. Kristi's sister, Jessica, who is also a photographer. I'm sure she would have loved to have been here to capture this special moment for her sister. I hope I did great by you!! It would have been great to shoot with you, Jessica. 

Thank you for looking at my dear friends urban maternity session. Make sure to catch Kristi's wonderful work at www.kristijamesphotography.com and Jessica's beautiful work at www.jessicaaphotography.com.

Have a wonderful evening with your love ones. I'm going to do our nightly routines with Typhoon Trio since Papi is off working late for Uncle Sam. So more than likely tonight's Daily Snap will be short and sweet.

Catch ya in a bit!!!! =)

Daily Snaps - Colorful

Colorful Balloons

Green balloons, red balloons, purple, and blue...

Would you jump in a pool full of balloons?

Swimming in color, squeaky in rubber!

Playing in balloons, seems like forever.

I like tossing balloons in the air,

rubbing balloons in my hair.

I stick them up against the wall,

and wait to see when they fall.

Gold balloons, silver balloons, pink ones too!

I mostly like bright yellow balloons.

Colorful balloons make me smile.

I want balloons as long as a mile.

Only tip when it comes to balloons...

When blowing them up, make sure to stop.

Because if you don't, balloons ALWAYS POP!

- Tommy G.

Daily Snaps:

WoW it's been 15 days!!! We are half way done with this challenge.

Today was very busy day. I had my last follow-up for my surgery. It's been 3 months since the second surgery and 8 months since the first one. It's amazing how much your quality of life can change when you are able to do things that before were difficult. After the Dr's appt we drove around Naha for a little bit. We found this great Shrine which I promise to share pictures of later this week. I wasn't able to do it tonight because I had a session as soon as I arrived home. The session was for a dear friend who's Mother is currently visiting from the states. They were interested in doing a generational session of just the ladies. I had the pleasure of sharing with Gaga Bella's first session at the hospital and second session during her almost 5 day session. I have been looking forward to this session for 5 wks now since this was going to be Gaga's first family photographs with little bella. We had a lot of fun and the weather was wonderful!! I hope that you were able to get out today and enjoy this beautiful day too.

The above photograph is of Bella's older sisters. I have been wanting to take a picture with balloons for sometime now. Bella's sisters were very happy to help me out.

Have a wonderful evening!!!

I am very sleepie from a very long weekend!!

Looking forward to tomorrow as I get to photograph another dear friend's maternity session =)

Sweet Dreams!

Catch you same time. Same place.
