It has almost been a year exactly since my last blog…sheesh, this year just flew by so quickly yet so much has happened in this year.  Well no need to make excuses, I’m just glad to be back.  I have a lot of catching up to do but what better way to start back up than with the Kekoa’s.

For the past few years I’ve taken their Christmas pictures.  This time around I received a text the night before that Brandie received news about her mother Lola’s cancer and she wondered if she could include her entire family…and of course I’d have it no other way so we got together and celebrated what family is all about.

These images reflect a family filled with love, laughter, courage, strength and hope.

Look at these beautiful ladies!

…and of course we couldn’t forget about the guys.

There is NOTHING that compares to a mother’s love…nothing.

I took a moment to get a portrait of Brandie’s parents, Mel and Lola.

Lola looked absolutely amazing so I had to get some portraits of her…isn’t she beautiful! 🙂

I loved watching the kids being kids and enjoying nature.  Photo shoots aren’t just about getting a picture, it’s about creating memories.

Thank you Kekoa’s and the Robbins for the opportunity to capture this moment in time in your lives…I don’t take this blessing for granted!
