I love when you come across those moments when you realize it really is a small world that we live in. Having a photography business in Hawaii means that 80% of my clients are people who are on a family vacation in Hawaii or people who have come to Hawaii to get married. Because of this only 20% of my clients come to me through word of mouth. Not that my clients don’t love to share their pictures with all their friends and family but when their friends and family live in the mainland they can’t exactly jump on a plane and fly to Hawaii for a photo session. This being said I was excited to meet the wonderful Faydo family through a word of mouth contact. I had a friend in Hawaii who I met because our girls were in scouts together. She left Hawaii two years ago and moved to California. She lives in the same neighborhood as the Faydo family and they have since become friends. While these two neighbors were hanging out she noticed some prints hanging on my friends wall that I had taken and voila that’s where I come in. I had done a photo session of my friends family before she left the island and the Faydo family just happened to be planning a family vacation to Hawaii and when she saw the photos she emailed me to set up a photo session of their own. Small world right? I don’t normally blog about my scheduling but I just thought that was a neat little connection. Almost as neat as the Faydo family themselves. We had such a fun session I did not want the sun to set. We hunted for fish and hermit crabs, played in the water, and chatted endlessly! I am the luckiest girl in the world to have a profession where I get to hang out with such great people and just have fun! So Faydo family, here is a little sneek peak of our photo session at the Ko Olina Lagoons.
I cannot believe it has been two weeks since my last post. Life has been a whirl wind of events lately and I have been spending my days running in several different directions at the same time. Between my photography, a new baby, kids homework, visitors, work outs, house cleaning, ex-cetera ex-cetera, I have not had a minute to sit down. So please bear with me as I try to grab hold of the reins and slow this ride down a little. My short term goal is to strive to be a better more personal blogger. After all the main reason I started this blog was so people could not only get to see my most recent work but for people to get to know me. When someone hires me to shoot a wedding or capture their special family moments I want them to not only love my work but I want them to connect with me. So today I am going to let you in on a little secret you may not have know. I don’t know for sure, and have no way of proving this for certain but I think I might just be Martha Stewart’s distant cousin twice removed. This would be the only logical reason to explain how I just finished making the worlds most prettiest, most yummiest peach and apple pies. These pies are so pretty, and so yummy that there just has to be a little Martha Stewart blood running through these veins. Well that and my mother’s award winning secret pie crust recipe. Well truth be told it has never actually won an actual award, however that is only because we have never entered it in the worlds most prettiest most yummiest pie contest. Because if we entered these pies in the worlds most prettiest most yummiest pie contest, my mother’s secret pie crust recipe, and my Martha Stewart blood lines would be sweeping the nation and snatching up awards at bake offs world wide. A picture is worth a thousand words so feast your eyes on these babies. Wait you might want to grab a napkin first to whip up all that drool that will be dripping from the corners of your mouth.
Being the next best thing to Martha Stewart is dirty work but someone has to do it…
Having the world’s cutest assistant doesn’t hurt either!
Lip smakin delicious!
