So during this Saturday’s (morning) shoot, there was one letter that constantly running through my mind. THE “B” WORD. And no, it didn’t stand for anything bad. This “B” actually stood for: birthday, baby sister, balloons, and BOM-CHICKA-WOW-WOW.

Yes, this past Saturday was my little sister’s birthday shoot. Our plan was to wake up early and take advantage of the beautiful sunrise. Only problem was that we arose to no sun. The lingering island vog produced a type of dreary weather that could basically be summed up as “sucktastic.” But we ventured out into the cold anyways determined to turn lemons into lemonade.

And lemonade we made. Along with Lil’ J we scoured random locations until we found what we were looking for. I may be biased, but we ended up with some of my favorite pictures so far…

THIS. JUST. IN.

A supercalifraQUICKstic blog update of a shoot I did with my gorgeous cousin Kiki. I am SOOOOOOO happy that she and her sister (Shout out to my cousin Lani!) came to visit. Sadly, usually this is only a yearly occurance. I wish it could be more often, but sic vita est (such is life).

I have many blessings in my life, and Kiki is definitely one of them. Growing up we were as close as Lucy & Ethel, Laverne & Shirley, and maybe the Olson twins (only more asian, and minus the greasy hair). Even with *counting* onetwothreefourfivesixMILLION states in between us, we have continued our bff-cousin-ship into adulthood. So without further adu, here are some of my favorite shots of one of my most favorite people evvahhhhhh!
