This  11 year old, (going on 16 year old) was so nervous about getting headshots done.

We talked a lot about dinosaurs.

She didn’t like the aroma of the gritty alleyways I chose to shoot in very much.

Oops.

it is just so sad when a life ends.. it’s best to remember the great times.

like when Skai and i hiked all over Maui.. he was the best host a girl could ever ask for.

thank you Peter for allowing your precious boy to be my sidekick while i was visiting..

RIP Skai

i first photographed this trio about 10 years ago.

some things have changed. some things haven’t.

one thing i know for sure that hasn’t changed  is .. how much

they love their mother.
