sunshine and sundresses.

a beautiful, lovely, perfect morning together is what we had.
meet the matsons from arizona, vacationing here on oahu.

we had quite the adventure trying to get together.


i was camping.
do you take your phone camping?
i should take my phone camping.


and keep it charged.

that would've helped a lot.

contrary to what you might think, you can in fact get lost,

turned around

headed the wrong direction

driving around in circles forever...

on this little island.

but she found me.

and we liked each other from the start.

and then they flew home the very next day.

the laie 5

these girls have been friends since elementary school, and we had a blast together!

the sisterhood of the travelling pearls

so there's a slight possibility (like sumo wrestler "slight") that we had to hop a fence to get to one of the locations for this shoot. there's another, related, slight possibility that i was wearing yoga pants that are almost 4 years old (read: really threadbare cotton) that caught on the fence and ripped knee to ankle. bummer, yah, but better than a knee to hip rip, don't ya think?

just take note how the fence doesn 't have a top bar... when's the last time you tried to hop a topless fence?? let me tell ya... don't.

meet the E bldg. girls: angie, hillary, kim, melissa, and shanae. they live in Temple View Apartments (AKA BYU-H married housing), and they're tight like spandex in the 80s.

i would tell you about how fun the shoot was, and how it was CRAZY windy, and how it's a miracle to get five, grown, laughing women to all look at the camera at the same time, but you know what they say... a picture says a thousand words.
