Photo Journal by Kauai Photographer Charity Vazquez: Charity V Photography

Welcome to my blog!

My name is Charity Vazquez:

I am married to my best friend, biggest fan, second shooter, "silent" partner and the love of my life, Christian.

I am the mother of 4 adorable, messy, hilarious and inspiring children.

I am much better at telling stories with my photos than with my words.

I am pretty much obsessed with lip-balm.

I wholeheartedly feel that coffee should be a food group.

I am a life long artist and self taught photographer

Reading is my favorite indulgence

I intend to travel the world (with a camera stuck to my hip of course)

I believe if you put a little love out their it will grow so "let love grow" is my motto and my way of life.

Family Photos on the Farm: Labanon Family

Posted in Family

Cristy and Willy have such an amazing family! First I must start by telling you that years ago I saw this amazing farm and I ALWAYS wanted to take photos there. I had even debated weather or not I should simply go up to the house and ask them if I could take photos on their property… but alas I was never brave enough. Then Cristy contacted me to do her family photos. You would not believe my surprise and pleasure when we pulled up to her family farm!!! It was the very farm I dreamed to shoot at. How amazing is that! What a great shoot, the children were amazing and so well behaved and we got some great shots. Here are a few photos from our session together, please enjoy…

Maternity Photo Session: Allison

Posted in Maternity

Allison and Eric have dreamed of being parents for quite some time now, so this precious little miracle is an extra special gift!!! It was such a huge honor for me to be a part of this shoot, it was so full of sentimental touches (which I love) like Eric’s baby shoes, and the envelope containing the sex of the baby, which I tried desperately to get them to open… to no avail. I personally do not know how they managed to keep from peaking in that envelope, I TOTALLY would have… I am not good with surprises LOL. Here are a few photos from their session, please enjoy…
