I have photographed this beautiful boy every summer since he was born. He is so easy going and happy it's always a treat. The beautiful backdrop of Denia, on the Costa Blanca made for a great shoot with this lovely mama and her boy.

The loveliest flower girl from a recent wedding in Madrid, Spain.

I photographed eggplant prepared two different ways for an ongoing column on vegetables by Hawai'i food writer Joan Namkoong.

Einar and Veronica are lovely, genuine, and madly in love. Their Costa Blanca destination wedding reflected that in every way.  They had a moving ceremony in Villajoyosa at the Norwegian church, then to old town Altea and Calpe for photos before landing at L'Olleta Chiringuito in Altea for the reception.They had barely more than a dozen guests which kept things intimate and special. Einar is a photographer, which sometimes can be intimidating, but it was a total pleasure to work with him as he trusted in my vision one hundred percent. We are spending most of the year in Hawai'i now but we save summers for Spain (¡claro que sí! ) and these photos remind me of the beautiful Mediterranean we have to look forward to.

Excited to see Laura and Iñigo's pretty Spanish wedding on Wedding Chicks.

During the travel piece I worked on in the Baltic capitals, my first stop was Tallinn, Estonia. I arrived via Barcelona after photographing a wedding the night before and then missed the car waiting for me to take me around the city and instead got on a bus.... disaster... disaster.... Long story short, I ran around old town Tallinn trying to connect with people and get images in focus before I took off some three hours later for St. Petersburg. It was nice to go through my take again for this post to see what I saw.. in my head it is all such a blur. I did love the blankets on the chairs for outdoor seating, in case of a chill, and elk sausage: yum.

Spain's Revista MIA published a bunch of my photos for a story full of advice for future brides. Neato!
