I have a secret spot in North Kihei that always gives us the best lighting, background and overall fun when it comes to family sessions. Have a look and if you want to know more about having a photo session there, contact me!
This cute family from Northern California was ready to play and enjoy one another. Makes my job not really seem like a job at all. I really feel blessed to meet such amazing folks all the time and capture their love.
I find it so incredibly touching when I get the opportunity to capture the generations in a family session. This beautiful family has been in my Maui life for quite some time now. They all have such amazing gifts and the best smiles. Angela and I met at the Haleakala Waldorf preschool yard when our daughters decided to be best friends. I think she & I were very relieved that we liked each other as well. Her husbands parents are also here on island and have helped raise their daughter. Their bond is undeniable and they were such a joy to work with. The golden light came out in full force and we bathed in it until the sun went down.
Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to photograph this moment in time. Congratulations to Marc & Angela for their 10 year anniversary together and to Leila & Dieter for being together for about 60 years ( i believe). How inspiring!!! Much Aloha to You All!
When I saw Kate & Rob step out of their Jeep, I would have never guessed they were renewing their vows after 20 years! They were so youthful and sweet to each other. They had two teenagers who were also very fun-loving and kind. We headed to my favorite secret spot on the South Side and did a bunch of family portraits first. Kate said it had been over 10 years since they had family photos so I took full advantage of the soft light and gorgeous backdrop we had that day. We all gathered in closely as Kate & Rob renewed their vows. It was full of laughter and love. I hope I can look that great after 20 years of marriage…. seriously. Congratulations to 20 years and here’s to 20 more!
There are so many talented artists on Maui and I got the pleasure of photographing Island Sol’s goodies. Meg is a mama of 4 and I am so impressed at her drive to get quality products to our community at affordable prices. Her trucker hats are amazing and come in baby, youth and adult sizes. Her Kantha quilts are great for just about anything… beach blankets, picnics, extra layer on the bed or a comfy blanket for movie nights. She makes these beautiful button down shirts with vintage dollie cutouts on the backs. She has pillows, turkish beach towels, sunrise shell jewelry and beach bags coming in… I can’t always treat myself but I can tell you her stuff is worth every penny. Check her out on Instagram @islandsol and on Facebook at Island Sol. She’s a hard working mama like you & I, so let’s pay it forward.
These two met in college and it was very evident that their love for each other was strong. Kimberly and Jared chose to have a simple, beach elopement so they could just be together and exchange their vows without distraction. They had the sweetest words to tell one another and the sun glowed upon them as elegantly as they were together. We had the cove all to ourselves and every time I asked Jared to make her smile, he fully delivered. I know that they will have a joyful, loving journey ahead. Congratulations to the both of the. Much Aloha Always…
It is so wonderful to watch a relationship blossom over the years. I met Gwen & Adrian when they met years ago at Flatbread Company in Paia Town when we were all a bit younger and making our Maui lives happen. Years later, they invited me into Haleakala Crater to photography their elopement which was one of my most adventurous weddings to date. A few years following that great day, Gwen and Adrian reach out so we could photograph their sweet baby girl who has arrived. Now Reya is running and talking… it shows how fast time flies. We met last week at a beautiful beach on the North Shore of Maui. It was breezy and we had a turtle come up to greet us. The pictures really captured the gentleness this family exudes and the beauty of our island home. Lots of love to you always Gwen, Adrian & Reya….
