Hey everybody, I am teaming up with Mish Photograhy for a black and white up close event. Here is the info, call me if you have any questions. All your pictures will be back in time for Valentines day.

I spent the day with my cousin Oakley, she has designed and sewn a children's clothing line. These clothes are so cute, I am in awe of her talent. She needed pictures to apply for some high end baby boutiques and craft fairs, these pictures are temporary we will be doing the real shoot in the spring when its warm outside. Thanks to the baby models, little miss Bella Kongaika, Jonas Tatton, Maile Tuikolovatu and Londyn Howard. They did great, we are hoping to get more smiles in the spring. The photo shoot was a lot of work and I am tired tired tired. Check out "a Pear Tree" clothing line

Here are some pictures of Sefo and Mona's wedding. This was a huge Samoan and Tongan Celebration. There was plenty of yummy food, lots of crazy Polynesian ladies dancing and tons of money thrown. Never a dull moment. For those of you who have not had the opportunity to attend such an affair, you are really missing out. I want to congratulate the newlyweds, Please be patient while I get your pictures edited and ready.

Happy 6th Birthday Maile

Its official, I am an old lady, My baby just turned 6, we started of the day with birthday presents and then cookies for her school class. She decided she wanted a build a bear party, I normally would discourage this expensive party, but oh she is my baby, and next year, she probably won't even be interested in teddy bears and dolls, she will want a cell phone like her sister. After everyone went home, Grandma and Grandpa came over, and ate dinner, and then we made a gingerbread house. Looks great huh!! its okay that even if it came from a kit and we followed the picture to the tee. We had a great day, Maile's Birthday is now over, we have are Christmas Tree up, and now we are ready for Christmas.

Well the Marathon of Christmas is almost over, I took my last sitting yesterday, and I am finishing up orders, We still have our thanksgiving wreath on the door, and no Christmas tree. I am really pushing for this weekend. hopefully we will get it up. Today is my nieces birthday, she is born exactly four days before Maile, and they are in their words "bestes cousins" meaning best friend cousins. I thought I would throw up a fun picture of all the cousins I took for an advertisement for my brothers dental office, two years ago. The weekend was especially busy, I had some really fun sittings. Sunday I flew to Reno Nevada for a big family group shot, and then turned right around and flew back. I am still working on your pictures Afieaki Family but here is a sneak peak of some that are done.

Fun Christmas Photo Shoots

I have been so busy because of the season, I have totally neglected my blog, So I thought I would post some fun pictures of sittings I have done lately. I am just about ready to wrap up all of my Christmas sittings. So if any one else needs an appointment, call quick and I will fit you in the beginning of next week. Stay tuned for the Tuikolovatu Family Christmas card, I am taking them this weekend, and I have something in mind, it just depends if Maloni will cooperate or not.

Festival of Trees

I know it has been a way long time since I posted, I am trying to get Christmas pictures all wrapped up, so I can hurry and go do my shopping. I am all for bagging the whole present thing and going to Hawaii like we did last year.

Last night we all headed up to Festival of Trees to watch Mcailee dance. She did a great job, The pictures kinda suck, I was sitting way far back and the stage lighting was really was really ugly. I made Mcailee and her ballroom Dance partner (A.J. Ongoongotau) pose for me after to get a better shot. The other picture is of Mcailee and her good friend Makenzie, Im not sure why they are smiling so big I guess they are proud of their braces (ha ha).

I also included a picture of my good friend Mish's tree, she helped decorated in memory of her little girl Alex ( she is the little angel on the bottom left.) Mish asked me to switch out the picture at the tree, She told me what isle and number the tree was on, Only I have been kinda sick and stuffy and I thought she said E 42, I went down isle E and no tree, So then I started thinking okay E rhymes with G or P or maybe B heck maybe she said C , then Maloni was like oh hecks no I am not helping find this tree out of hundreds of trees. Well I found the tree, I took a picture of it for proof, We all had a good laugh, ( by the way the tree was on isle H) I should have my ears checked.
