Okinawa Maternity Photographer - Nakagusuku- life



Love is life...
And if you miss love, you miss life.
Leo Buscaglia





There are no words to express how much love you felt being around this family. I had so much fun just being there with them. The session was  fun too because the family was open to the concept of a picnic in the field. It was also a real honor to have a fellow photographer, such as Angie, commission me for a session. After the session, I had the hardest time culling the digital images. I would have kept them all but it took me forever to edit the pictures that didn't end up on the digital darkroom floor. 

Please leave this wonderful family some blog or FB love!

Little K was born that very next day =) Talk about close call right!?! 
Keep an eye out for Little K's session coming up soon!!

Daily Snap-

Today's daily snap is a SOOC (straight out of camera) photograph of Little flowers amoungst the flowers. The children walking thru the sunflower field reminded me of colorful flowers sprinkled out in the field. I really wish I had stayed and waited for a better opportunity but Milk Monster had other plans than watching the sunflowers any longer. 
I plan on going back and doing Typhoon Trio's monthly session there. I LOVE sunflowers more than any other flower. I always had a fascination for them but that grew when we lived in North Dakota for 8 years. Now if you want to see a field of sunflowers that's the place to do it. It looks like an ocean of sunflowers for as far as the eye can see. If you love sunflowers I hope that you'll get a chance to go see them too.

Thank you, Ms. Rene Stokesberry for the information about this wonderful location!

Directions To Sunflower Field-
From Kadena AB Area
Go south on 58.  Turn left onto 130 just before Camp Foster.  Turn right onto 330.  Turn left onto 81.  Turn right at the 2nd stoplight onto 146 (toward Nakagusuku Castle).  Cross a small bridge, and make a hard left.  Turn right at the 2nd right turn.  Look for the bright yellow sunflower fields.  There is nearby parking along the road. If you get to Nakagusku Castle you went too far.
