Couples Session and a Solo Shoot

I made a trip back to New York this past week and had the chance to visit my parents.  It was nice to have a change of scenary but the flight was SO long! I did some photo editing to make the time go by faster…

I also did a solo session with the beautiful Kathleen. ..

Family Pictures at the Beach

The whole family was such a pleasure to work with…

Solo Photo Shoot Downtown

I met April at a previous group shoot I did for Delta Sigma Theta, Hawaii Alumnae Chapter.  She recently contacted me about doing a session with just her, downtown with several outfit changes.  It was a weekend afternoon and the streets downtown were pretty deserted, which made it easier. April has a great figure and looked gorgeous in every outfit she put on!

I also had to get a shot in of her two dutiful friends, who showed up to  help with wardrobe changes…
