Kelly and the Great Typhoon...

Kelly, hubby Joe and gorgeous honey child Gabe are such a sweet family, I was so glad to get to photograph them connecting...

and enjoying their last days on Okinawa...

If you are on Okinawa, you may know Kelly, for two reasons:
If you read Okinawa Hai, she was until recently the TO EAT editor. Kelly's family are leaving the island heading Stateside very soon.
Kelly is also a children's book author. I thought it was really cool when she told my she was writing a childrens book about two Shisas. I love Shisas. Even before coming to Okinawa, I began to get obsessed with them. Now, I take them for granted because they are everywhere.

Just like the beautiful East China Sea...I try not to take that for granted.

and it was cool to photograph G's recreated traditional Korean birthday table...

Apparently, the food/item he chooses represents his future. I think Kelly told me he chose cheerios?! Whatever he chose, he looks so noble, doesn't he?...

Check Kelly's book out HERE. I have my signed copy and the kids really enjoyed it. April couldn't believe that her 'famous photographer Mum' (yeah, her words, she actually thinks I am famous LOL) knows a 'real live famous writer' (what she wants to be when she grows up...well this month anyway!)!!! Kids, you have to love 'em...
I had a great time the few times we hung out Kelly and the shoot was a blast, I hope you all laugh long and hard...

Safe trip :o)
