Happy 4th of July!

4th of July is my second favorite holiday of the whole year, Christmas being the first. Good food, friends, and fireworks.  Not to mention Ava’s darling little red, white, and blue colors and 2 toddler pigtails to melt her mama’s heart.  Life doesn’t get much better than that.

Here’s a sneak peak of a shoot I did with the gorgeous Jade Alexis at Lanikai Beach. Make up was done by Renee Warner of the Black Cat Salon in Kailua, HI.

Lovin’ life,

Crystal Chanel
