Okinawa Photograher - what to wear on Okinawa

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!!

Okinawa Lifestyle Photographer - daddy's hands

"I remember Daddy´s hands, how they held my Mama tight,
And patted my back, for something done right.

There are things that I´ve forgotten, that I loved about the man,

But I´ll always remember the love in Daddy´s hands.

Daddy's hands were soft and kind when I was cryin´.

Daddy´s hands, were hard as steel when I´d done wrong.

Daddy´s hands, weren´t always gentle

But I´ve come to understand.

There was always love in Daddy´s hands."
- Dunn Holly - Milestones

WoW, I can't believe that this year has almost come to an end. It's been full of many blessing! One of which has been having the BEST clients on Okinawa. My dream became a reality because of you and for this I am truly thankful.

Today was my last session before starting my winter vacation =) I had the pleasure of meeting Miss "E" and her Mami and Daddy in November but she was a little under the weather. We decided to reschedule Miss "E's" photography session for today. 

Today, we meet over at the Southeast Botanical Gardens and Little Miss "E" was definitely feeling a lot better. She was full of smiles and was talking up a storm. During the session she sounded like she was trying to say "dada" which was too cute. Little Miss "E" turned 6 months old today. It was a perfect day to capture a wonderful milestone for Mami and Daddy!

Today was a perfect session to start off my vacation. Thank you so much Little Miss "E"! We are booking photography sessions for 2011. This next year is going to be full of FUN mini sessions! Keep an eye out here for announcements on the SPECIALS. Make sure to book your sessions a few weeks in advance to guarantee your session date. Our first Special for January is here. It's not to soon to be thinking about Valentine's Day gift ;) *hint*hint*

During December 11th 2010 to January 7th 2011 RSM will be on vacation. We will be booking a limited amount of NEWBORN sessions during this time frame. Make sure to book those ASAP. Baby due in January??? Please make sure to contact me now to book your session.
