Mother Daughter Photo Shoot at Kailua Beach Park

Mia was leaving the island and wanted some beach pictures with her daughter, Madison, before they left. She also wanted individual pictures of each of them. Madison was so energetic- I literally had to chase her across the beach, begging for her to stay still. It was worth it though- the camera loves her!

Taylor was vacationing with her family in Hawaii and contacted me for some senior pictures. She was a natural model and extremely easy to work with! We walked around the Hilton Hawaiian Village Resort and then ended the session on the beach. We also got a great shot of her with her two sisters…

Lisa contacted me to take some vacation pictures of her family- which included her husband, son, parents, brother and her brother’s family! It was a big group but everyone was extremely easy going and made the shoot a fun time. Most of the session was spent cooing over Lisa’s baby boy, as well as her newborn niece- both were such cuties!

Heather and Patrick were in Hawaii celebrating their 4 year anniversary and wanted some beach pictures. It was a particularly windy day but we were still able to create a scene of serenity. Heather had such a beautiful smile! They were a lovely couple and I look forward to seeing them back in Hawaii for future anniversary celebrations…

Couples Session and a Solo Shoot

I made a trip back to New York this past week and had the chance to visit my parents. It was nice to have a change of scenary but the flight was SO long! I did some photo editing to make the time go by faster…

Here are two shots from a couples session I did with Ashley and Chad before I left. They exchanged vows during their stay in Hawaii but my shoot with them was a casual one. They were so laid back and relaxed- definitely in love…

I also did a solo session with the beautiful Kathleen. ..

Family Pictures at the Beach

Michelle and her family were visiting from Calgary and wanted some family pictures from their vacation. She has an adorable baby girl, Lily. It was Lily’s first time in Hawaii and she was having some trouble adjusting to the texture of sand on her toes. Despite this, she was a bubbly bundle of joy for the whole shoot! The whole family was such a pleasure to work with…

Couples Photo Shoot at Waialae Beach Park

Maria and Ivan were honeymooning from Southern California. They had just gotten married right before they left for their Hawaii trip. Their wedding ceremony had been simple and intimate- they told me this photo session was kind of like a wedding treat to themselves. I had a great time getting to know them better and finding out tidbits, like how they had met at work- when he wanted to sit next to her at lunch. It was a cloudy day but they were such an adorable couple and very comfortable with showing affection for each other- which made for a fantastic shoot, despite the lack of sun!

Family Photo Tour

Nicole and her family were in the middle of a big move and their stay in Hawaii was the calm before all the craziness. She wanted some family pictures in multiple locations for variety, to remember their time here- so we did a photo tour. She has a beautiful baby girl who was full of personality, which was apparent in her trademark “stinky face” facial expression!

Baby Beach Photo Shoot

Mandy was visiting from WA and wanted some pictures of her son Hunter at the beach. We met up at Waimanalo Beach Park and just let Hunter loose! He was such a bundle of energy and couldn’t stand still. He wasn’t even fazed after he got hit by a wave and spent the rest of the shoot in his swim trunks and then his diaper. He was SO adorable, I didn’t want the session to end!

Engagement Session at the Hale Koa

Ashley and Hunter are a vibrant young couple, visiting from the East Coast and staying at the Hale Koa Hotel. We started the session on the grounds there and then moved down to the beach. Ashley had a contagious laugh and kept the mood of the shoot fun and casual, which warmed up Hunter for the camera. Congratulations on the engagement and best wishes to the both of you!
