Our little blessing at 4 days old :)

Our beautiful little girl, born in our home on September 27, 2011.  Her name is coming soon.  We are so in love with her and with each other.  If you have contacted us recently, we apologize for the delay in response.  We are slowly catching up with our work.  Love, James & Bev.

Our Little Rubio

Back in early May of this year, James and I took a mini vacation to Kauai for a babymoon.  That’s right, babymoon!  Being photographers, it’s always awkward being on the front end of the camera, but we thought it would be a great opportunity to capture this special time in our lives as we await our first baby.  So we contacted local photographers Sebastian and Fawne of Sea Light Studios.  They were so awesome to work with and such a great team!  They also referred me to Mia Moriguchi who did a fantastic job on my hair and make-up!

Feel free to check out Sea Light Studios’ blog for some of their favorites from our session!

Now fast forward a few months to August… as I, or shall I say Baby, got bigger, we went out to one of our favorite Hilo beaches and spent some time documenting our little one, James Rubio style.  :)

So now baby month has arrived and we’re getting our gears together… simply waiting to meeting our precious baby.  We don’t know whether baby is a boy or girl, but we shall find out soon!  It’s only a matter of a couple weeks, or possibly even days…  We’ll keep you posted!

(On a side note, in case you’ve contacted us and we have not yet responded, please kindly be patient as we try to get back to you in a timely manner.  We appreciate your understanding!)
