Water Lilies, Island of Kauai

We are vacationing in Poipu for a few days before heading to Utah.  This morning I went out walking and came across these pretty water lilies.  Aren't they just perfect?  I think I have an obsession with water lilies.  (And I'm quite impressed with my little point and shoot!)

Aloha Oe

My favorite photos I've taken during our 3 years living on the Big Island of Hawaii. As you can see, this island is absolutely amazing and unlike any other place on earth.  I am going to miss it here so much.

Enjoy ♥

Jennifer Tigley Photography

I really wanted to have our family pictures taken here in Hawaii before we moved.  I was searching for photographers here in Hilo and just didn't find anyone that I thought fit our style.  Since we were going to Oahu in April I decided broaden my search and look for a Honolulu based photographer.  I was browsing Flickr and randomly found Jennifer Tigley Photography.  I knew right away she was what I was looking for.  This girl is such a doll.  She is a full time mommy and an amazing photographer.  She spent over an hour with us and patiently dealt with my hair flying all over in the wind and Lily pulling some pretty funny faces.   I know we will treasure these photos for the rest of our lives.  Thanks again, Jen!

Big Move

Well, the time has come for us to say goodbye to our little house in Hilo.  In 2 short weeks we are leaving Hawaii and moving back to Utah.  We have loved our time in Hawaii and are very sad to go.  My husband has finished school, and we don't really have a choice but to move due to the lack of pharmacies here on the Big Island.  We both grew up in Utah so it will be nice to be near our families again.  Lily will love seeing her grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins, and I will love the many available baby-sitters!  I have a million things to do so I might close up the shop for awhile.  We'll see.  Wish us luck!
