IMG_7643        Mahalo! Melissa and I have been friends a for years was from us working together at Islamorada, to being a bridesmaid in her wedding, to her parents taking me in during hard times, and all the crazy adventures in between, I was super excited to find out when she was pregnant!

We are more like sisters now, I am super close with her family and feel as though I am the middle sibling between her and Bryan. Melissa is an army wife so her and Austin are super hard to pin down, they have lived in Korea, Germany and now reside in Hawaii.

Life gets in the way some times and I wasn't able to visit them in Korea or Germany, so I was stoked when the opportunity came to go visit them in Hawaii! Sadly Austin was on duty so, we went exploring on our own to some of IMG_7718 the beautiful beaches on Oahu and Botanical Gardens! We wanted to embrace the Hawaiian feel to her session so we had to do a cute flower crown! Her golden glow from the Hawaiian Sun and her floral dress gave a sweet Island vibe. So I hope you guys enjoy these photos as much as we enjoyed creating them and I cannot wait to meet little Adaline! I am so proud to see how far Melissa and Austin have grown in their relationship, and now on their way to becoming parents. I'm super excited to be an Auntie again! Aloha!
