Naughty Grandpa…
There are 4 little boys in this family under the age of 7. And one over 70. When it comes to beach portraits there is an exponential relationship between the number of little boys and the likelihood of them ending up in the ocean.

As it turned out, these four little boys – though definitely against their own instincts – were very well behaved and managed to stay more or … Continue reading Naughty Grandpa…

Honeymoon : : N and J

Maui Maka ♥’s Hula Gypsy!
Shopping at Hula Gypsy is like stepping into a vintage dream closet… We love it! Hula Gypsy Vintage Boutique has beautiful vintage and new clothing, accessories and collectibles. Everything in the store is amazing, & most of it is on Sale! There are usually a couple racks of $20 clothing, and Anna (owner) is so nice to chat with while you browse!

(see above) Whether … Continue reading Maui Maka ♥’s Hula Gypsy!
