I've Moved!!! - FootSteps Photography Okinawa
It has been about 1 month since FootSteps Photography Moved. Well the move was not vary far just from on-base to an off-base place. This is something that our family had been wanting to do for quite some time but never found the time. Well we made time, cleared calendars, gathered boxes and Moved. It was just in time too because shortly after we started looking the housing office on Okinawa had a new rule in effect that after August 1st no one else would be allowed to move off base. Whew! I am glad we made it. After looking at literately more than 2 dozen houses we found the one that was perfect for us.
The front of our new house named the Takara House. The studio is located about 10 minutes from Kadena's Gate 3 and about 10 minutes from McT and Courtney. Via the expressway it only takes 20 minutes from Camp Hanson.
The studio is up and running as you can see from the beautiful little model saying "Tada". Located within eye shot of the indoor studio is several other mini locations.
Studio sessions are not limited to strictly inside the studio. If you would like to step outside the door you have other options to explore. Located within a minutes walk.
Just a couple more to finish this post off. She is so excited for you to be able to see the new house and studio.

Williams Family and Photo Intaglio - FootSteps Photography Okinawa
I have the best clients. Thanks to all of you. For without you, I would not have the wonderful clients like the Williams family. I met this photogenic family through a prior client who had recently had her daughters photos done. It was such a fun sunset session with all of you. I don't think you could have taken a bad photo if you tried.
I love the texture mixed with the bright blue sky mixed with colors of the setting sun.
Such an emotional kiss.
I was so lucky to have to opportunity to photograph two teens who are models.
Things just fell into place perfectly with this shot while we were all sitting down talking before moving up the beach.
Two beautiful girl
Sometimes I just get into my printmaking days where I focused photo intaglio manipulated with texture. This reminds me of the look they have when printed.
Wondering what Photo Intaglio looks like? Here is photography of my print "Lucky Two" done in a photo intaglio. Image taken in Biloxi Mississippi. If anyone on Okinawa knows of a place that has a press please let me know I would love to get back into this art form and do some prints from around Okinawa.

Osage Clayworks - FootSteps Photography Okinawa
Osage Clayworks is a beautiful old store located in downtown Osage Arkansas. I had the pleasure of photographing several pottery arrangements and the old Historical Stamps Store while visiting family back home. Also got a few of the owner and his sweet shop dogs.
The Historical Stamps store built circa 1901.
Beautiful handmade pottery. These pieces almost did not make it back to the store but fell into my suitcase for quick transport back to Okinawa. Just kidding. They are beautiful.
I love the color, texture of the handle and shape of this teapot. Even-though I don't drink tea myself I wanted to start a tea pot collection after seeing this teapot. For more of Osage Clayworks work of to purchase one of your own. Visit http://www.osageclayworks.com

Blog do you check? - FootSteps Photography Okinawa
Yep I did it again. I just get so busy that I forget to upload photos to this blog. But is anyone really reading it? If you are reading it please leave me a comment and let me know that you would like for me to continue with the blog updates. It seems senseless to upload the same photos to 4 different places. Do you blog or do you Myspace? Let me know. Now onto the photos....

Time to do this blog thing again...
Life has been hectic over the last few months. There are several changes that have taken place and more to come. Some will be announced starting in August so keep checking back. I promise I will do better and keeping this blog updated. No more 4 month hiatus. So over the last few months here is what has been happening with FootSteps.
March
Bellies, Valentines day, and Easter is what was happening here are a few from then.
In April for my birthdayI got a new baby. Here is what she looks like. Such a beauty. This is such a huge improvement over my last DSLR. This camera ROCKS. Here is a little about it because there is too much to list.
- full frame sensor
- 21.1 megapixel digital SLR camera
- Live View shooting, Live View HD videos at 1080p, and more
- Great color reproduction
April was a busy month as well with school ending and PCS season starting. It was also my daughter's 2nd birthday. Happy Birthday Baby Girl. The Diaper cake she is sitting next to is made by Dharla's Boutique. More to come on that later.
Now a few more from April. April showers bring May flowers but for photos it also means uncertainty when shooting. Any minute it might start poring down rain. And it did once. There were still several beautiful images captured before the downpour started. Just so happens to be the first full shoot with the MarkII.
Then there was the most beautiful baby boy ever. He is so cute and one of the best babies i have ever had the joy to photograph. He slept when he needed to and was awake when he needed to be. It was hard to just pick one since I have so many favorites from this session.
Later in the month was friends of mine who wanted to capture the whole family before daddy got deployed. It was also babies first beach trip. Again, so many to choose from but this time one the daddy daughter relationship.
Last but not least, and not in any order either, is a friend of mine that came over to pose for me as I worked with new lighting techniques
May was a short month for me. During most of May and part of June my family went home to the states for two graduations, family visits, and of course shopping. Okinawa is beautiful but I do miss the shopping like Target, Wal-Mart and all the many others.
First was the Footes who you might recognize from previous posts. This time with a new addition to the family. I really admire her she is an amazing women. I hope we get to meet again at another base. We will miss all of you.
Also come a baby on-the-way shoot. Congratulations! The wind could not have been blowing much harder without a Typhoon on island. Still glowing.
Then off to the states. Not sure exactly what mountain top this was but I think it was Mt Rainer outside of the Seattle area. Anyone recognize it please tell me if that is right.
Family photos are not finished editing yet. More later on that.
June back home to rain rain and more rain on Okinawa. It seemed like it would never stop raining.
The rain canceled the first appointment for this family but the afternoon cleared up. We headed to the beach. Then it started raining again. It rained on and off throughout but we all had fun with the rain. I think she had the most fun out of all of them, playing the the umbrella, puddles, and running across the beach.
Don't you just love those Jerseys. The family had them made specially for there family photographs. This is just the back of them but the front has there last name on it, which just happens to be a Florida team name. It was such a beautiful day we could not have asked for a more perfect day for portraits.
Little S brought this pink and brown tutu to life with her coordinating top and such a sweet little face.
Yummy. One of my favorite subjects to photograph is sweet 6 month olds just like Little Grace. They are so easy to work with. It is also fun to see there first experience on the beach as well. Sand sure is yummy that it is worth going back for seconds and thirds.
Now I know why I have not blogged much lately. The internet connection here is so horrible that this short update has taken 2 days to just write and post photos on. That is when they did not time out or have errors.
