More adorable faces that you may have seen before. We did a kids-only session last year with them and got some great shots of the sisters together. This time we thought we’d let Mom & Dad join in on the fun as well! I love low-tide at the beaches here with all of the green rocks. It seems so uniquely Okinawa although I don’t really know if that’s true! I do know that this isn’t what the beach in Florida looked like!

Farewell L family! Your canvases are on their way to your new house. You’ll have to snap a picture for me once they’re hanging up!

Today’s glimpse into Japanese culture:

As a “B-san”, Mia is learning to play the pianica at school. It’s a cross between a piano and a harmonica. To change the notes, you use a small piano keyboard, but to make the sound you blow through a mouthpiece. It’s pretty cute! I had never seen one of these before, but it seems to be a pretty popular instrument among yochien students. Preschoolers all over the island are carrying the little pink or blue cases. If last year’s music program is any indication, the kids get to be quite proficient. It’s quite a sight to see a whole stage full of 4 year olds playing a pianica concert.

Water everywhere! It started pouring down rain 10 minutes into our session but I know a couple of kids who didn’t mind at all. They went running into the fountain to get even wetter! But, I just love this shot! If you look carefully you can see the raindrops. It was certainly a fun date in the rain, but hopefully the clouds will give us a little break and let us reschedule for the rest!

My last session with the S family as they too are on their way off of sunny Okinawa! We had to try to cram this session in before O’s soccer game that morning at 9am and a second session I had to run to by 9:30. Whew! But not only did we make it in record time, we had tons of fun and came up with a fantastic gallery! I’ve said before that sometimes just the perfect combination of weather, moods, personalities, and a little luck come together for some awesome results! Plus, they already knew the drill from their previous session up there in the header of this very blog!

If we can ride this wave just a little bit longer, the canvases will be here in time for them to enjoy for a few days before they send them off to decorate their new home. I hope they make it because I want a peek at their home before they pack out!
