No Fooling.....

I know it's April Fools Day , but I am not fooling about these **SPECIALS**

Tuesday April 1st from 9am to 5pm all reprints from any previous session will be HALF OFF!!
That's half off any print, any size, including the beautiful canvas gallery wraps (no frame necessary) and even the gorgeous fine art velvet paper. So if you are wishing you had a larger print of an image you love, now is the time to order! These would make great Mothers Day or Fathers Day gifts too and don't forget the Grandparents! 

Want more? OK....

Call Tuesday  April 1st from 9am to 5pm and book a NEW SESSION  and the Session Fee will be HALF OFF! That is for any kind of session including in studio, on location and yes, even beach sessions will be HALF OFF!! Session may be scheduled for anytime April through September.

Don't forget...That's Tuesday April 1st ONLY!!!

operators are standing by... 638-5050, that's 638-5050!!

needed...

cute Hawaiian looking models...

I was so inspired tonight when I went into the Tabora Art Gallery in Haleiwa... I took my daughter out for a Kua A`ina  cheeseburger tonight (so yummy!) and while it was cooking we browsed his gallery where he is featuring this brilliant artist from Kauai... She is actually from Sweden and now lives on the North Shore of Kauai and her work is stunning! She is a realistic, meaning she paints thinks as they really look and she has some paintings of a Hawaiian  girl that were so perfect and inspiring to me. It's funny too as I was just thinking about this recently and wanting to create some Hawaiiana looking work so I take Anna's work as a sign and as a giant inspiration!

So, my idea #1 is I need 2-3 kids that are local or hapa looking that are all around that 9-11 month age... they must be standing but not yet walking ... twins or triplets would be even better!

My idea # 2 is for a girl that is local looking and maybe 18-28 with long flowy hair to do some outdoor portraits in a tropical flower garden.

I have other ideas brewing but this is what I want to start with, so if you know anyone that fits these descriptions, please have them call or e-mail me asap!!

thanks & I hope to be able to share the results soon!

cuteness

What in the world is cuter than a sweet little sleeping puppy?

OK so maybe a cute little baby... or maybe a sweet little toddler... or maybe even a darling little 4 year old... OK, so next to kids, there is nothing cuter than a puppy... and these are some pretty cute puppies!

And most of you know how much I love little feet.... so how about all of these little feet!

Of course I couldn't resist putting the two cutest things in the world together....
So it's unanimous... cute babies and cute puppies are the best!

Hawaii's Miracles

We are so excited to announce our new project coming up in April.....
Island Style Images is teaming up with Kapi`olani Children's Hospital to create a 2009 Hawaii's Miracles Calendar and a limited edition coffee table book!
Kapi`olani is a non-profit hospital and for nearly 100 years Hawaii's only children's hospital who have been providing exceptional care for Hawaii's keiki.
So how does your child get  chance to be on the calendar?
For a $100 tax deductible donation to Kapi`olani, your child will be scheduled to receive a special portrait session at either our North Shore studio or at the hospital. Sessions include a chance to be considered for the calendar plus a 5x7 print and inclusion in a "Hawaii's Miracles" limited edition book.
Session will be held on the North Shore April 12 through 19  and at Kapi`olani medical Center May 8, 9 & 10.
Session times will be limited and we are only accepting the first 100 families, so call now to book your session!
This is going to be such a fun collaboration and we are proud to help support Hawaii's only children's hospital and be  part of their 100 year celebration! We hope you will be a part of it too!

Helllloooooo!
I know I have been a blog neglecter lately... we have been so busy though working on a new look and some new ideas for 2008 that I am just now getting back to the blog! Forgive me for the delay!
We are very excited about our new look and new logo.... 

What do you think? Similar to our previous one but we just wanted something a bot more updated.

We have some new products for 2008 including a  new toddler plan called "Still Growing " for our older babies and we are now offering some cool framing options with bamboo or sans frame with a cool gallery wrap or a wall stand-out. We will be announcing more soon and I promise also to be back soon with some fun new images too!!

aloha,
