I entitled this session as "Through the eyes of love", because Pipi & Kau'i's daughter, Ava, is living with a condition called, Spinal Muscular Atrophy, Type I (SMAI). She is congnitively aware, but has no movement. This condition affects all of her voluntary muscle movement. Therefore she needs a vent to breathe. One thing that she can control is her eyes... and when I was able to connect with her - it was so intensely beautiful.
I know your heart will be touched through these images - as mine was.
Be in Peace... ENJOY!
Meet beautiful, Ava :)



Now, introducing the Rezentes 'Ohana, Pipi, Kau'i & Ava...







THE TWO BIRTHDAY GIRLS!!! WOOT WOOT!

The love of a daddy...


Pipi is always a character! This was him lovin' on a coconut tree! LOL

Just like her daddy... making a fishy face for me :)

We made time to capture images of these two love birds ...



These two kept me cracking up - the whole shoot!
