#2 shoot for today, and #2 baby that doesn't like to smile for the camera.  Kyle is my cousin, and he and his wife Rezene recently bought a big beautiful house.  We celebrated Thanksgiving at their house this year and I noticed a lot of empty frames on the wall...well not really empty.  She kept the stock photos that came with the frame and hung it!  Sooo funny!  I practically begged them to take their pictures so they can hang some real relatives on the wall :)

Stella wasn't in a picture taking mood, she was happier eating her milk balls.  We came to the conclusion that Wilbur was looking at the camera more than she was...maybe we can try again when the baby is born early next  year.

 Only George would pose for me!

Dylan and Quentin...

Aikahi Elementary School

Oh boy, I had 3 photo shoots today, and it was the day of the non-smiley children! No matter what we did we couldn't get those kids to look at me and smile.  Don't let these pictures fool you, I'll be posting the outtakes later...

First up, Dylan and Quentin 8:00 am...

Welcome baby Tia!!

Tia Hokulani Tomiko Kalawe was born on November 12, 2011 to happy and proud parents Tysha and TK.  She was a healthy 6lbs, 13 oz and 19" long.  I told Tysha the moment she got pregnant that I had first dibs on photographing her baby.  It just so happened that the hospital photographer got sick and Jalna had other plans so I was on my own today....boy, it's hard work!  Once we got her comfortable she was adorable :)

 Tia absolutely HATED this football...maybe we can try again when she's a little older
