Gia and Family

I have known Gia's parents for quite a few years now, so it was an honor to be able to take her photos at such a fun age. It was a gorgeous morning, and this little angel kept me on my toes! She is definitely a girl on the move these days, and I loved it! It made for an energetic and entertaining photo shoot . . . and the whole family is so much fun to be around, so it was a win-win! What a doll!

I loved seeing you guys again! Thanks for the opportunity to take your photos and capture this incredible time in your lives. xoxo, Julie

Emily {18 days new}

Meet Emily Kalena!

June 4th, 2013                    6lbs. 5 oz.                      19  inches

"I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me." 

- Galations 2:20

Emily's entrance into this world was a quick, but joyful one! She was born in under an hour, so it was quite the whirlwind! The doctor didn't even make it into the room in time, so the nurse had to deliver her. Her Mommy and Daddy were sure she was going to be a boy, so they were very surprised and excited when they learned they had a healthy baby girl! They chose the name Emily because of its classic beauty, and her middle name, Kalena, is Hawaiian and means "pure". Both Emily's big brother and sister also have Hawaiian middle names since Daddy grew up on the Big Island. As she grows up, her Mommy and Daddy hope she can begin to grasp how deeply she is loved by her Heavenly Father, and that she would become a woman who is able to pour her life out for others and do many great things to glorify the Lord because of this knowledge. What a blessing this little one is! 

Thanks so much for the opportunity to photograph Emily & your family during this amazing time in your lives! You have such a beautiful, gracious, loving family and it was a pleasure. Congratulations!! xoxo, Julie
