Daniel Binyan Rubio, 69, December 3, 1939 – July 8, 2009

“Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?” — Matthew 6:26

Dad, you always shared with me this scripture and how much God loves me.  You were always the strongest person in my life.

I know you are well taken care of, living the happiest time of your life.

I’ll be strong for you Dad.  I love you Dad.

We had a great time hanging out with Stacey and Chris.  They told us they weren’t very photogenic, and wouldn’t believe us when we kept telling them they were!  Hopefully these photos will help prove them wrong. ;)  The light was perfect and we always love shooting at Kona Village Resort. Such a beautiful, natural place.
