What supposed to be a day out with the family became an exploratory photo shoot. Here are just some random images that were shot throughout the day. Hope you enjoy my pure randomness.

My BABY girl!
This little collage is dedicated to my wife on this Valentine’s Day. These are just some precious random moments of our daughter from within the last 6 months. She is definitely growing up really quick and becoming the little lady of the house.

I love you honey! Thank you Daddy! This is the bestest V-Day present ever!!! Yes, better than the 2 dozen roses!!!
What a month this has been for us.

2) Kiyana just turned 2. I am...

Wow, Frank, it has been a really rough month for you, and to be sick on top of that. I hope you’ll get yourself back to 100% and take some time to hit the water with your board. It will be good for the soul Take care.
First, my wife’s laptop hard drive failed. I had to replace the hard drive and reinstall everything. That took about 2 days. And then as I would least expect it, one of my workstations got completely wiped out. And it took a long grueling 6 days to restore everything. Fortunately, all my files were...

I can’t believe you’re gone. At least there’s no more pain, no more suffering. And the best part of it is that you’ll be able to spend eternity with Grandpa, my Dad and with God. I know you have been waiting for this day. It’s only been a day since you’ve been gone but I’m...

Aloha Frank, I’m sorry to hear about your Grandmother’s passing. May you have peace in knowing she lived a good life, was very loved and she is comfortable now.
My baby is growing up so fast. Seems like only yesterday when my little sweetheart was born. Anything I can do to slow life down? Life is just passing by so quickly! Thank you God for these cameras that I may preserve these sweet little moments forever.

This was actually my first attempt doing a maternity shoot (except for the one I did for my wife). I didn’t know what to expect and was quite nervous about doing it. The overall session was a breeze and nothing different from when I shot Louise & Kyle’s wedding back in April.
This was taken when...

If I could choose just one photographer to capture my wedding day, or anything for that matter, it would be Frank (and you know that I know a lot of good ones)! You are an inspiration!
Whenever I see your gorgeous images, I am greeeeeeeeeen with jealousy!

December 1, 2008 - 5:10 pm
Frank!! My idol! I can’t believe you read my blog! I’m kinda embarrassed ’cause my pictures are nowhere near your caliber. I had fun doing them though. Your work continues to awe me, and you will always be my favorite. jalna
UPDATE: We just put in an offer. We’re praying that it’ll get accepted (crossing fingers and toes).
It’s now been a year and half since we’ve been watching the market and it feels like the right time to buy. Kiyana is getting bigger and the little apartment were in is not cutting it for her. We...

I finally had a day off a few weeks ago. We spent the entire day strolling through the malls. There was a store we stopped at which had a pair of shoes that caught my eye (not for me). A small pair of black low cut Converse Chuck Taylor shoes. I thought to myself, ahhhh….this...

Kiyana is sooo adorably cute! She definitely would make the cover of a magazine/ad. Her cuteness has so much personality.
