The Lafferty family met me on Bellows AFB last night for a fun, laid-back family session on one of my favorite beaches! The waves were definitely bigger than I’m used to due to the South swell coming through right now. One of my cameras even…

It’s such a small world — the lovely Braddells are visiting Oahu from DC just a few miles from where I lived just 18 months ago. We met at Kualoa Regional Park bright and early today for some sunrise photos. I love…
