David & Shayna

Diamond Head park was closed on this day and we weren’t sure what to do with the rest of our day. We drove around and landed at a nearby beach. I had my camera out and I was roaming around taking photos of the local flowers. Another family had drove up and started walking toward the access way to the beach. The dad noticed the lens I had on my camera and we had a very brief, friendly exchange about it. I thought to myself, he must be a photographer if he knew the kind of lens I had without having to look on the lens itself to see the specs. I finished taking my pictures and headed to where my family was and happened to plop myself next to his family. Being the friendly person I am, I started some small talk with the pretty wife and learned that they are the island’s premiere video, graphics and web solutions specialists, a powerhouse team. Not only are they That, but they are really the nicest, generous and most genuine people around.

We met on the beach for a fun photoshoot and thought we would have a picnic… as luck would have it, it was pretty windy as the afternoon got late and David and Shayna invited us over to their home for dinner. We spent a few hours learning about each other while our keiki’s played. I’m very thankful that our paths had crossed…

Beautiful couple riiiiiight??

Their daughter, cute as a button… don’t you think?

Their boys, personalities galore…

In Hawaii, ANYYYYBODY can take pictures with the ocean in the background… but when you find a cool rock wall like this one, you gotta use it!

I love this one!

… and I love this one….

… and I love this one too…

… and of course, the beautiful ocean background with the oldest son doing his awesome ninja moves!! Ocean schmocean, the Ninja Move MADE this photo!!
