Introducing Peisi Kaufusi.. Kearns High School.. Class of 2012

Introducing Miss Kaufusi.. Kearns High School.. Class of 2012.. One of my MOST favorite Senior kids this year, and it helps that she's at Kearns High, did I mention I went to Kearns High.. (Ok I get it once or twice.. lol)
This girl is a NO JOKE (although she's always joking lol) type of girl, get the job done, help others get the job done (Yes she's part of the reason my son Mone is passing Spanish), dont mess with me or anyone that came with me type of girl. She's head strong and knows exactly what it takes to get where she's going. Thank you Peisi for showing me what a strong young women looks like, the hopes and dreams, the goals all in line and all ready for the taking. There is no doubt in my mind Peisi you are headed for greatness, Thanks for letting me capture the beginning of your adventure.. Ofa lahi atu Peisi..
Did I mention she's my niece so I'm kinda one sided when it comes to her.. lol..

Miss Hills.. Copperhills High School Class of 2012

Have you seen the new kids of Class of 2012, well let me introduce you to Miss Brooke Hills, Copper Hills High School Class of 2012.

I was way excited for this Senior Session I have known Brookes'  family for some time, her father is my sons' basketball coach for Super League, and her younger brother Buddy is one of my sons best friends, this year they had a great season taking 2 Super League Tournaments.. Great job Coach Hills.. (bragging moment over lol)

Now back to Brooke..

This young lady seems to have her life plan figured out (I'm waaay older and I still don't have a plan). She works 2 jobs and still manages to get a 4.0 GPA, I mean really WHO DOES THAT? Her dad claims she gets her smarts from her mom, I tend to agree.. But I will say this she gets her looks from her dad, Coach Hills if you were a girl, you'd be really really really really CUTE.. (I think I used enough REALLYS.. ) 

When I asked Brooke how she managed to have 2 jobs and maintain her grades, she says she has NO social life, NONE what so ever.. Good to know, first thing I'm going to do is get rid of the SOCIAL life around my house.. ( wait.. do my kids have a social life..lol) Brooke plans on attending UVU after high school, she's even managed to put her deposit down on her apartment ALREADY.. Really.. WHO DOES THAT? I mean really I'm even proud of her, and she's not my daughter.. lol

Brooke congratulations on your upcoming graduation from CHH, I only see BIG things happening for you in the future, and when your running the world I can say I knew you WHEN.. Good luck in your future Brooke not that you'll need it.

Mr Afatasi... Kearns High School...Class of 2012

Mr Afatasi does it all.. Student body officer, Boys Volleyball (for a different school, but we wont mention that schools name lol), Spanish Tutor (we wont mention for who? CLUE? one of mines) and just an all around great guy. He always has a smile on his face and a great attitude to go with it.. Thank you for allowing me to capture your senior year photos, WOW where really has the time gone, oh and I know I said I wouldn't put the dancing ones on here just yet, so the photos below pay no mind to them, they are for OTHER people to view...

Introducing.. Baby Pauline

When a baby is born a connection is made instantly between the baby and her parents. Nothing shows the connection more then when I start fussing with the baby and try to put her at ease and BOTH parents come to my side and start fussing right along side of me. I love to watch them interact with their baby and watch their baby respond to them. If babies could talk at this age they would get the whole world handed to them right this minute.

Baby Pauline may you always know how much LOVE your parents hold for you, may you always be the sparkle in your daddy's eyes. ( I noticed it while he was trying to make you stop crying), you hold both your parents hearts in the palm of your little hand, and with your beautiful name I know you hold the hearts of your namesakes family as well..

Congratulations Tuikolovatu Family she is so beautiful..

Introducing.. The Lokotui family..

Love the Mommy/Daughter shots.. Priceless..

Oldest to youngest with all the different personalities..

What a beautiful family, kids were troopers coming out in the cold, to satisfy the wants of the MOTHER who swore snow, rain, freezing temperatures she was going to get her family photos done.. They had never had one done, and she was bound and determine to make it happen on that day.. Even after I called her to tell her it was freezing outside, should we change to a INDOOR location, she said its fine its not that cold.. LOL.. Nothing comes between a MOM and getting photos done when its already implanted in her mind that its gonna happen THAT DAY..

I love watching families grow, I remember when this family had just the one son, he was my dads best friend.. Yes the son.. Sooo cute, and now look he has grown to be a great kid (no matter what the other siblings said.. lol)..

Lokotui family thanks for allowing me to capture you first REAL family photos, it was fun, thanks for putting up with my begging on how the faster we all smile the faster we can all go back in the car. Thanks for putting up with a MOM on a mission and a photography who couldnt decide exactly which way to pose everyone..

May the New Year bring your family all the joy and happiness you all deserve..

Tuitavake Wedding

It was great meeting this beautiful couple for both their invitation shoot and their wedding day shoot, it been awhile since I took the invitation shoot but I don't like to post those until after the wedding day.

I love shooting a wedding where the couple can make each other laugh just by looking at each other, you feel like there is a little secret that only the two of them share. I could tell right away that these two had a secret. Mr & Mrs Tuitavake may you two always make each other laugh and may you never never let anyone in on your secret.. Thanks for letting me capture your special day..
