Okinawa Photographer- Daily Snaps - colors

ut pictura poesis

as is painting, so is poetry

Typhoon Trio's first Summer Weekend!

Daily Snaps is a blog post of an isolated observation into my life. If you have frequented the blog before you have noticed that I am not a writer. If you are new to Rising Sun Memories' Daily Snap blog post please don't expect anything eloquent. But do expect to share a moment in my life thru photographs and sometimes a few words. 

The photographs from Daily Snaps are for sharing so I do not expect to get a technical award. Most of the time they will be SOOC "straight out of camera" or with some basic editing of cropping.

Okinawa Military Family Photographer- Soldier's Angel

Soldier's Angel

I am a soldier in their army

They are the soldiers of my heart.

I try to make them smile again~

Though it tears me apart.

Their bravery leaves me spellbound;

I try to be a small part`

Of bringing them back again~

They are the soldier of my heart.

Yellow Ribbon Fund, INC

"The Yellow Ribbon Fund was created in 2005 to assist our injured service members and their families while they recuperate at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center and the National Naval Medical Center. Our mission began when the father of an injured Marine introduced two of our volunteers to staff at Walter Reed and Bethesda Naval and they told us what needs were not met by other donors.
In five years contributors made through the Yellow Ribbon Fund have provided the following for injured service members and their families: over 1,100 free rental cars spanning 49,000 free rental car days: over 16,000 free taxi rides: over 7,300 free hotel room nights; and 46 families have used our four apartments for almost 6,000 nights; and hundreds of free tickets to sporting games, concerts and plays, and hundreds of lunches, dinners, golf games, duck and goose hunts, fishing trips, and other activities."

Okinawa Children Photographer- Murasaki Mura

A Book

A book, I think, is very like

A little golden door

That takes me into places

Where I've never been before.

It leads me into fairyland

Or countries strange and far

And, best of all, the golden door

Always stays ajar.

Okinawa Newborn Photography - grown up

Walk A Little Slower Daddy

I'm following in your footsteps

and I don't want to fall.

Sometimes your steps are very fast,

Sometimes they're hard to see;

So walk a little slower, Daddy,

For you are leading me.

Someday when I'm all grown up,

You're what I want to be;

Then I will have a child

Who'll want to follow me.

And I would want to lead just right,

And know that I was true;

So, walk a little slower, Daddy,

For I must follow you.

Welcome Little B to your loving family!

Okinawa Newborn Photographs - freedom of the heart

If one feels the need of something grand,

 something infinite, 

something that makes one feel aware of God, 

one need not go far to find it. 

I think that I see something deeper, more infinite,

 more eternal than the ocean in the expression of the eyes of a little baby

 when it wakes in the morning and coos or laughs

 because it sees the sun shining on it's cradle.

- Vincent van Gogh

Little J's EDD was for May 29th but he decided to start his journey into our world on May 5th. Little J was born at 4 lbs. Today at 19 days new or -5 days old he was weighing 5 lbs. Before long Little J will be a chunker because he definitely LOVES to eat. That's all he wanted to do during our session. Of course I didn't mind because that just meant I was able to snuggle with him longer. =) 

For me his session was really special because it brought back so many memories of  Typhoon Trio when they were preemies. It amazes me that at one time they were we wee little ones but with a blink of an eye they are so big now. Remember to take in every moment..each and every one of them are special because before you know it they are off to college like my oldest son. 

Thank you for stopping by and viewing Little J's photograph.

Make sure to leave him some blog or fb love!!!
