Nikki

My god-baby Nikki came to visit me with her mom not too long ago. Her mom and I have been friends ever since our college days and we’ve grown closer since those days. I love them both so much. I wanted to do something special for them and really give the both of them great memories to cherish. What better way to do that but with the gift of photographs. Memories.

We tried to get in as much as we could with the time we had. Nikki’s mom, Renee took us to her childhood home in Wahiawa. We met her old neighbor who is well into his old age now. I love that she showed me around to where she used to go as a child.  We went to Moku’leia Beach where Renee’s dad took her when they lived on Oahu.

Renee used to come to this  place when she was little. Now here she is with her little girl. Fantastic.

We stopped at the Botanical Gardens while in Wahiawa. We were both excited to see some pretty plants, but after 10 minutes we had to dash. We were being eaten alive by the mosquito’s. We felt like human dart targets. I should have brought along the insect repellent, but before we could go… I kept stopping to take a few of these next photos…

I escaped with 2 bites, Renee 17 bites and Nikki 0 bites. Well worth the photo’s I got!!

Renee, thank you for taking me around and showing me your island. It was eye opening! My kids just love Nikki.. she’s their little sis. They all got a long so well that it was really hard to say goodbye. But as we say here, it’s not goodbye, it’s Aloha, A hui hou……until we meet again. xo.. love ya sis.

To see more of Nikki’s adventure here on Oahu (please allow a few seconds to stream):

Oahu is a wonderful place for families with kids. There are a lot of places to take them where they can explore nature. The beautiful beaches are not the only place to be visited. Plenty of locations for beautiful photography, whether it’s at the many beautiful beaches, a botanical garden or even in the old towns, family photography on Oahu lends itself to vibrant colors and rich textures. Just ask me, I’ll take you there.
