...are my neighbors! My husband and I moved into our awesome rental home in Makawao in February of 2010. Right away, we felt like we belonged here. Often on cool Makawao evenings we hear the laughter of one of the many Silvas float through our open windows. They're such a great little family and in the two years I've watched them become even more tight-nit. First, the birth of Kaleb, the first grandson, then the wedding of Matt and Raeli (their daughter), and Lauren (the youngest) moving up to middle school. Then Leicey (the middle daughter) moving to Oahu to attend the University of Hawaii, Ryan (the son) graduating high school, the birth of their second grandchild Kaila. And now, Ryan has just returned from boot camp for Thanksgiving and Leicey is about to move to Georgia to attend school and be closer to her man. This holiday will be the last holiday for a while where the whole clan will be together.
I was so happy to take their family portraits during this Thanksgiving break. It's going to be a rough road ahead for the Silva's with two children on opposite sides of the country. But I know they'll be stronger and closer because of it all.
Here's Kaleb in July of 2011 and then in November of 2012. Amazing what a year and half can do!
Little sister Kaila had grown a lot too! Here she is in June of 2012 and now, six months later.

| OK, so they aren't all Silvas; here are two Casils as well! |
And here's that Ryan guy, now the Marine guy, with his two proud parents
Thank you Silvas for choosing me again to take your family portraits! A special thank you to Ryan for serving our country. The Marine Corp is lucky to have you.
