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!
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!
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!
Amanda and Ryan were escaping the cold winter back home and thought it would be great to have their engagement pictures done while they were out here in paradise! It rained the day of our session but we rescheduled for the next morning, and lucked out with a gorgeous sunny day. They were such a beautiful couple and were extremely easy to work with. Good luck with the wedding planning you two and hope to see you back here in Hawaii again!
Cindy and John were vacationing in Hawaii, celebrating their 26th anniversary. Cindy wanted to have some pictures together to commemorate the occassion. Despite being uncomfortable with having his picture taken, John was a great sport and played along to make his wife happy. I told Cindy that was true love! Meeting them was a pleasure and I wish them many more years of happiness together…
I love shooting couples on their honeymoon! They’re always so relaxed because the stress of wedding planning has melted away and they’re in the blissful “just married” stage. Most of the time, I don’t even have to prompt them to kiss for a shot, they do it themselves! Jesse and Michele are a beautiful couple and they couldn’t have seemed happier about tying the knot a few days earlier. We did a romantic pre-sunset shoot in Waikiki…
