A New Change!

I am happy (and proud) to announce some new changes for Mango Mahalo Photography....

I have an improved blog site and it can be found here....

Also, I will be hosting Urban Funk Mini Sessions for kids in the next few weeks.  More information and funky photos of my awesome models will be posted on the *New* blog tomorrow!!!

Inaugurating Steve

Steve & I just got back from two nights in Hana, without the girls.  Quiet... no TV, no internet (no Netflix).  Perfect time to teach him some fine details about the DSLR and get him going on becoming a photographer.  His first model... preggo me!  Here are some of the pics he captured, and one pic I got of him (I almost had to pry the camera out of his hands).
 

 

 

 

Pictures Are Getting Bigger

There has been some re-decorating in our house lately.  Our entryway hall of picture frames has been relocated to upstairs.  The canvas painting above the fireplace has been removed and replaced with a trio of canvases of the girls.

And the playroom now showcases some metallic finished standouts of the girls, along with their exclusive birthday shadowboxes.

 

And my logo has been "redesigned" by my friend, mentor and inspiration, Marie, from Autumn's Creek Graphic Designs.

{Hard to Believe} Maternity Portraits

Almost a whole year has gone by since I really started challenging myself to become a photographer.  Mistakes were made along the way, but the amount I have learned far out-weighs the things I would do over, if I could.  I have loved the opportunities of photographing my friends, their beautiful kids, and my own family.  I have appreciated all the "critique" from one of my most admired photographer friends, Marie.  She has been so patient with me and so inspiring.  I have made new friends along the way, and have had some friendships strengthened because of a mutual love of being a mother-photographer.  This is a hobby, a passion, and something that continuously challenges me to be more and more creative.

It was nearly a year ago that my best friend, Brandy, became my first official "maternity client."  We spent hours and hours together documenting her first pregnancy.  I decided that it is time to finally post some of my favorites from all those sessions.  Hard to believe it's been only a year....
