my gorgeous friends in hawaii who really feel more like family. heather, kivalu, valu, and keenan. and we cant forget te’a, their four legged sister. last year we did a session at their local beach. which got keenan on the cover of simple scrapbooks magazine. this year we hung around the house and went to the temple grounds that are just up the street.
after those rolling down the hill pictures, heather and kivalu could barely eat dinner they felt so sick! (wimps.)
What cute kids!! I LOVE the photo with the tree.
Beautiful Tara! The tree photo is to die for!!
Just for laughs, have you seen this?

I love the trampoline picture!
I love your pictures! Beautiful!

Hey…..it’s us! Thank-you for using your photo super-powers on our little family. You never cease to amaze. And (deep sigh) I am resigning to the fact that I have turned into one of those rumblie tumblie wimps. I blame it on the jarring shark cage that we tumbled about in–24 hrs before these photos were taken, mind you. My belly has not been the same since. Just today I walked in my laundry room while the spin cycle was going–the floor slightly jiggled beneath me and my belly started to do flip-flops. (And no, I am not referencing a Seinfeld episode :) ) Good thing that shark experience was uber cool, eh?
And you and your family definitely have a deeply rooted place in our ‘ohana. I adore you, girlie!
These are amazing. I’ve said it a million times, but your photos are perfection!
I love these pics and I have really enjoyed looking at all your work. Beautiful. I got married in that temple.
are you still here in laie???!!! i’m here until the 10th…
Oh, I haven’t rolled down a hill in sooooo long. Thank you for reconnecting me to a wonderful series of childhood memories… :)
OH MY HECK! I LOVE. I just got back from Hawaii doing a workshop http://www.filmisnotdead.blogspot.com, anyway, one of our assignments was to shoot at the Laie temple and I totally recognized that wall when I saw it. Oh man, makes me want to go back! I love these!
what a small, small world. i was on hukilau beach boogie boarding with my son and this mom and her cute son walked by with an awesome mohawk. i said hi. they came back around and she asked if i was jonathan canlas as she saw i commented on this post before. lo and behold, it is the mom and son in these photos. oh the power of a blog.
Beautiful pics! I used to babysit for that sweet Valu when he was 2! Does Heather have a blog?
