Yesterday, while on the phone with my sister, I mentioned that I was editing Jason and Tisha’s portraits. She said, “Tisha’s so beautiful. But she’s just as goofy as she is beautiful so you can’t hate her for being beautiful!”

Goofy. Probably why we take pictures like this in public places! She brings out the wacky in me, too! And no, we hadn’t had a single sip of margarita before we snapped this shot (and many others like it!) Check out the bottom of the pic, I just noticed the wolf howling at us! haha!

Tisha was our College and Career Pastor at Hope Chapel Kaneohe way back when David and I were younger (you see, we aged but somehow, Tisha didn’t!). She poured many tears, prayers, wisdom, and lots of laughter on us, and we love her so!

So, we’re so happy to see her with someone who looks at her this way.

Jason is a Pastor, too.

Ah, I love laughing pictures! They’re both hilarious! I think we scared some tourists with our laughs! Sorry, tourists! (Oy, I just realized I was a tourist, too! )

These two must watch America’s Next Top Model because they sure knew how to work the camera!

This next one may be my favorite. It captures a softer, quiet side of her.

Thanks, Jason and Tisha for the super-fun session!

My brain cells are clogged by thoughts of beefy, yummy pho. So can I just post photos with no narrative?

This family was awesome, though. I loved just hanging out with them and capturing them as they played!

We were trying to take a more formal family portrait, and of course their dog wanted to be in it, too! Walked into the frame at the perfect time!

Thanks, Mike, Dar, Katie, and Mikey for allowing me into your home. I felt blessed having spent time with you!

Theirs is a perfectly simple story.  Girl moves from Texas to Hawaii for school. Girl and boy get introduced by mutual friends. They get to know each other through facebook and emails. They finally meet in person, and less than a year later, they married! Beautiful, huh?

And what a start to their wedding day! This was the view from outside the Lanikai beach house where Quinn, the beautiful bride, got ready. A perfect precursor to their nuptials, I would say!

I turned around, and here’s the view into the house!

It poured hard the night before (see the wet spot?), and I remember waking up in the middle of the night, praying for good weather in the morning.  God sure answered with beautiful blue skies and white, cotton candy clouds!

Father-daughter dances always get me…

Of course, there needs to be a mother-daughter dance, too:)

Thank you, George and Quinn for letting me be part of your beautiful day! I wish you the best in your marriage! Hope to see you again soon!

Congratulations, George and Quinn! Here’s a teaser. Many more to come!
