Alyvia

I've had the privilege of photographing Alyvia since she was a much smaller human being.  It's been so fun to watch her grow, but as she gets older she is definitely more difficult to keep up with.  It was so much simpler to prop her up against the dog to take pictures when she was still a baby.  Nevertheless, she's been a joy.  Smashingly cute and gorgeous all at the same time.  Alyvia, may you keep making people chase you for a long time to come.

Glamorous Girls

I love my girls.  LOVE them.  We can giggle uncontrollably and then talk about God the next minute.  I can't help but enjoy walking through life with them.  At the end of the year we had a silly Glamour Shots party, and here are some of my favorites.  Girls, I heart you.

I have been somewhat remiss in posting lately.  Life tends to get in the way sometimes, doesn't it?! 

One of the girls in my youth group, Ashely, has been so much fun to hang out with.  We talk about everything from the frothy to the faithful.  This is a girl who knows who she is in God and how she fits in the world.  Ash, may you continue to find your true self and see the beauty that you are.  Because You. Are. Stunning.

Alyssa

This girl  is a gorgeous girl, both inside and out.  Her passion for life and dance is so breathtaking to watch.  When she is in her element, she comes alive as only a dancer can.  Her entire being communicates what is in her spirit and I can't wait for her to carry that on into life past high school.  Alyssa, I have no doubt that you will come into your own in college and that life is going to expand past what you thought possible.  May you find joy and fun in your work, but also take time to rest and enjoy the moments.  May you learn more about who you are, and may you learn more about who God is in the process.

Family Love

It has been so fun to watch these beautiful children get bigger and start to develop personalities.  This family was in town from Mexico for some not so fun reasons, but still managed to shine brightly in spite of the circumstances.  Gorgeous parents both outside and inside make for gorgeous children.  May you have many years growing together in love, in light, and in laughter.

Oahu: North Side

We took a trek one day along the North Shore.  The waves weren't that high, but we found a spot with some huge spray and big rocks.  This particular day was a very sad one for me though, because my favorite flip flops died.  I've had them for years and years and years.  They had seen me through painting the INN office, going on mission trips, walking in a flooded bathroom, and a myriad of other scrapes I managed to get myself into.  I almost shed a lone tear.  However, I happened to be right next to a general store and went in to joyously discover a replacement pair.  Definitely not the same, but they sufficed to allow me to continue my journey.

Oahu: The Valley

Behind our beach house were some seriously majestic mountains, along with a working cattle ranch that gave different types of tours.  We went on a jungle trek in a little Swiss Pinzgauer (the ranch was inordinately pleased about their Pinzgauers) and were able to go over the mountains and see the valley.  Absolutely gorgeous scenery.

Oahu: Kaaawa Beach House

We have spent the second half of our trip in a private beach house.  About 10 feet from our back door, we have our own beach to laze about on.  Nothing is quite as relaxing as enjoying the life-giving sun without a crowd of people around you.  The house is as you would expect-- nothing grandiose, nothing luxurious, nothing extraordinary.  However, they have everything we could possible need-- boogie boards, snorkeling gear, kayaks.  Not to mention a lanai to eat every meal under, impossibly clear views of the stars that nearly take your breath away, sounds of breakers in the distance that lull you into a blissful state, shallow waters that you can walk out in for a seemingly endless distance, and a stunning view in all directions.  Yes, life has been grand.

I leave you not with pictures of the house, but rather of the things surrounding it.  The things that matter far more than the mere structure on the beach.

These first two are some of the fabulous sunrises we got to see

Oahu: South Side

By sheer ignorance or happy accident, depending on your point of view, we ended up going around the south side of Oahu on our way to the private beach house we are currently at.  We added several hours to our trek, but decided it was beyond well worth our time. 

We heard crashing waves. 
We felt refreshing wind gusts. 
We saw swaths of blue. 
We tasted salt spray. 
We smelled fruity air. 
We.  Loved.  It.
