Saturday & Sunday, July 12 & 13, 2010
Queen Emma Summer Palace/Queen Lilioukalani Gardens

**update on computer situation...as you can see, my computer is up and running, for now...but now I'm having email issues. WHEN IS THIS GONNA STOP???

Anyways, more bad luck for me, I finally realized this weekend that I SUCK. No, really, I REALLY, REALLY SUCK. My friend Jenny (from my Hilo fiasco) asked me if I could shoot some pics of her daughter and her two cousins that are visiting from the mainland so her mom (gramma) can have some pictures of all the grandkids. I jumped at the chance cause I love taking pictures of kids, so we made arrangements to met at Queen Emma Summer Palace on the Pali Highway.

I don't know what the hell I was thinking, but my settings were all out of whack so majority of my pictures were useless. Here were a few that were spared (barely!!)

Jalna brought along some bubbles as props...this is one of my favorite pictures of the day...
Ok, so since the pictures came out soooo horrible, I practically begged Jenny and her brother for another chance. So, with peace offerings in hand (hello kitty candies and goodies), we met once again on Sunday, but this time by a little park by my house. I was much happier with these results...
Classic.

Thank you, thank you, thank you Jenny, Darren and Lily for dragging the kids out again for the reshoot! I hope you're happy with the pics! And a HUGE thank you to Jalna for having to put up with my meltdown ALL WEEKEND (you see, crappy pics + computer virus = very unhappy Leslie!!)

Thanks Erick! I forgot how hard it was to get 3 kids to all look at the camera at the same time!!
