I know I can't get enough of this little guy. These are his official blessing pictures, I was hoping to capture is big smile, but he was a little fussy today, after about 20 minutes I decided he was tortured enough. My friend Brittani made his beautiful blanket.

I will have some fun pictures of Maile this weekend. She is going to be in a Beauty/Halloween Pagent tomorrow with her cousin Ambri, She is so excited, Good luck Maile and Ambri.

newest family member

2009-09-27T14:55:00.006-06:00

I know it has been oh FOREVER since I last updated this blog, my blog and cooking dinner got totally ignored the last 6 months of my pregnancy. Many people have been asking to see pictures of the baby so I thought I would post a few. For those of you that are interested in fall/ christmas pictures call soon, I will be only taking a limited number of appointments this season. I am totally in love with my new little guy, His name is Taitusi Nuimaetaivalu Tuikolovatu, Yes his name really is that long. ( Maloni named him and I not sure if I love my husband so much I let him give him that name, or I just gave in. My idea was to just call him Tai, but Tusi seems like it is sticking, I hope he likes his name in grade school when kids like to rhyme names. Hmm what rhymes with Tusi. I will hopefully be able to keep updated the blog with pictures, but sleep will come first. ENJOY.

Easter pictures

2009-04-10T11:46:00.005-06:00

I Just wanted to show off some pictures I took this weekend. My cousin designed and made these dresses. Here clothing line is called "a pear tree" the dresses just turned out darling. I get to lazy to take pictures of my own kids, so I got this morning and curled Maile's hair so I could have so cute Easter Pictures of her.

Crazy day.

2009-04-02T12:00:00.004-06:00

I have to hand it to my little Kainoa, he has no fear, and is so confident in who he is. Yesterday was Crazy day at school, the kids got to come to school wearing whatever they thought was crazy. This is what Kainoa wore. He made me giggle and laugh all day. ( Mcailee helped him with his hair.) hmm if it was anyone but Kainoa I would be a little worried.

2009-03-19T12:25:00.009-06:00

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.

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

2008-12-16T21:42:00.011-07:00

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.

2008-12-12T09:36:00.008-07:00

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

2008-12-05T06:44:00.007-07:00

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

2008-12-04T09:38:00.007-07:00

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.

Firemen

2008-11-14T07:21:00.014-07:00

Yesterday was fun, I spent all morning at a fire house taking pictures of fireman, (poor me huh.) The pictures are for their wives for Christmas, how cute is that, Maloni if you read this strap on the tool belt and hard hat. (Yum) Seriously, these guys were great sports and went along with some crazy ideas. Thanks to my lovely assistant for the day Suzy, we got some great shots. (She's going to kill me for posting her picture!)

Evelyns Grandkids

2008-11-12T22:01:00.006-07:00

I just love fall maybe next fall I can hire someone to take my family's fall pictures. I am going to start saving up for Omi!!! Any way here is a sneak peak, I promise the rest are coming in a day (or so).

Stay tuned tomorrow, I will post my Fireman pictures, ( do you think I can get them to take their shirts off? :)

Wednesday Night Marathon

2008-11-12T21:54:00.003-07:00

Tonight was Crazy I had people picking up pictures, a short sitting and two different bride and grooms to make wedding invitations for. I really liked the way they turned out, so I thought I would post them. (Keep in mind this is not a invite to their wedding) :D January is going to be a busy month. Congradulations to my cute brides and grooms.

Engagements

2008-10-29T21:58:00.007-06:00

I have been wanting to do some "Urban Style" pictures for a while now. Luckily Kipp, Hillary and cute little Alex let me try out some crazy fun stuff with them. We started out at Gardner Village, but I had forgotten about all of the witches and pumpkins everywhere, not to mention the million little kids running around in their costumes. We quickly relocated, I don't know if we were in the safest part of town, but am very happy with the way they turned out. Here are a few of my favorite.

Crazy Hair Day

2008-10-27T21:27:00.003-06:00

My kids had crazy hair day at school, Mcailee was the only one that still had crazy hair at 8pm so I decided to take some pictures of her. My baby is turning 12 in a couple of weeks. Where has the time gone.

2008-10-26T22:32:00.004-06:00

This post is called surprise KANDI, and if for some reason you don't see the pictures its cause she made me take them down. I walk with Kandi every morning rain or shine, and tomorrow I will have to tell her what I have done. Kidding aside, I just wanted to show everyone how great you look, I really had to talk her into taking pictures with her husband. I hope you like them I really think you look awesome. And the Morrill girls what can I say such a meek and mild bunch. Ha Ha.

I had fun taking these.

Mindy

Ps thanks for the yummy cookies I will have to walk extra fast in the morning.

2008-10-26T15:52:00.003-06:00

I hate football!!!! Life as I know it stops between September until the Superbowl. However football is pretty fun when its My Kainoa playing. Yesterday his little team won their last game and put themselves into the playoffs!!! Despite getting blindsided and smashed into the ground by a kid twice his size, he played an amazing game. I put together a little play by play with pictures. GO KAINOA!!!

2008-10-23T22:26:00.004-06:00

This blog stuff is driving me nuts. Some one who is really great at blogging HELP!!! Okay for the third time I will try to post this, and make sure I don't need to make any changes cause thats where everything goes wrong for me. Here is my cute little Memory Grove Family I took pictures of tonight. The fall colors right now are amazing. Anyway thought I would post a few of my favorite.

2008-10-22T22:24:00.004-06:00

Maile had a kindergarten assignment to bring home Mr Brownie Bear for a week, and then make a scrapbook page to tell all about our family and what Brownie did while he was with us this week. I thought it would be fun to post this. Maile will take back Brownie Bear tomorrow.

M Family

2008-10-22T22:14:00.006-06:00

I had fun taking pictures of the M Family, Things get a little crazy with five kids. It was definitely a challenge. Oh but look at the baby, I think I'm a little baby hungry right now. Good thing I have a niece or nephew on the way!! We were trying to get the two year old to smile, big sister thought she would help. Any way enjoy.

2008-10-16T19:20:00.000-06:00

I was so busy today, three sittings. I started out this morning with my good friends the lot family. They are always so fun to take pictures of because they are up for just about anything. They have been loyal clients of mine from the start. A big thank you to them. I hope each year its getting better. So here is your sneak peak at a few pictures.

L Kids

2008-10-15T20:22:00.000-06:00

Here is a sneak peak at my Darling neighbor kids. The little guy reminds me so much of my Kainoa. I will get the rest up on my Website.

2008-10-15T07:49:00.000-06:00

I have been so fortunate to visit Hawaii three times this year. I just now got all of my pictures uploaded to my new super fast super huge memory computer, So I thought I would post a few of my favorite pictures.

2008-10-13T17:07:00.000-06:00

Okay, I have been wanting to do this blog stuff for a while now. I just couldn't decide if it should a family blog or a photography blog. Since I can only manage one, It will be a mixture of both.

This is my life right now, Football Football and yes more Football, but look how cute kainoa is, yes he is the littliest one on the team (he would argue that number 46 is the same height). He has skills though, he is very fast and tough. He is currently playing the position of running back and corner back. His team is winning most of their games and are hoping to be in the play off's and be the first team to make it with all boys playing for their first year.
