Maui is full of amazing people offering amazing things. Nicole Kinsel certainly falls under this category as she is the co-owner and founder of Mineral Being. Mineral Being is an online crystal shop filled with the most beautiful and rarest crystals found on the planet. I have seen her collection many times and let me tell you, it’s incredible. On top of having a stunning crystal collection for sale, she offers crystal sound healings. I was blessed with receiving a session from her and it definitely facilitated positive change in my life. She worked her way up my body, activating chakras with particular crystals while using sound bowls vibrations on my body. I was very inspired by everything she offers and we created this photo shoot so the rest of the world can reach her! It was no surprise when the angel light showed up among the photos when i sat down to edit. My love for creating website content and her love for the crystals & healing shine through in each photo. I hope you enjoy these moments and contact her in Instagram @mineralbeing.
Meet Ari! She is such a talented woman. Not only is she a mama, she has created her own successful clothing business. I love that she takes gently worn items and re-creates them into beautiful pieces of art. From rompers, to jackets, to dresses and stylish tops: you are sure to find something you love. I love the details in her work like her hand stitched and hand painted touches. We went on a forest walk to capture just a few of the many amazing garments she has for sale right now! Check her out on Facebook at Ariana Light and on Instagram @r3byari to have a look at what she has. It is such a great time to support locals and this mama deserves all the support we can give her. It was a pleasure working with you Ari and by the way, I love my howling wolf top!
So here we are in the middle of a time that most of us have never experienced before. A virus has spread worldwide and the entire world is in this agreement to stop the spread by being at home in quarantine. On Maui, the tourists have left and our economy has been effected dramatically. I am out of work as I rely heavily on the wedding industry to survive.
One of my passions & gifts is photography and it has been really hard to see my camera get dusty. I have spent time re-thinking my purpose and evaluating my priorities. I remember looking out my window a few days into this quarantine thinking that I would be incredibly grateful to pick up my camera once again sooner than later.
It was a very pleasant surprise to here that my dear friend Gabriel was back on island because of the current world situation. He is a very talented and gifted singer & songwriter for his band WOLFCHILD. We have discussed doing photos in the past and our schedules were always quite full so this never came to fruition in the past. I guess the slow down became a blessing because we landed a time to capture some photos. We followed safe protocol and stayed outside ( on my private property) in the sunshine all the while practicing the new hot phrase… “social distancing”.
I felt alive being able to photograph again and relish in what brings me joy. It was a memorable session because it was the first time I have been sung to during an entire photo shoot. Gabriel came up with impromptu songs inspired by our simple surroundings while we moved about. I have to say that I was very impressed with the way songs came to him so easily and the quality of each song was record worthy in my opinion.
So…. thank you Gabriel for opening yourself to my art and in exchange sharing yours. To all of my friends, family & colleagues check out WOLFCHILD on the web or directly on Instagram @wolfchildmusic. Maybe consider giving them a download to your playlist on Spotify or Apple Music. If you want to see one of their latest music videos.. click the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cs0mQpo-vwM
Our support now may help them in the long run as musicians are also taking a huge hit with no way to tour & offer shows at the moment.
Health & Happiness to you all…. Enjoy the photos!
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.
I love supporting local businesses any way I can. Tiffany Ward is a fantastic chef and runs a very successful catering company, Maui Catering Services. The women that make up her team are such hard workings gals but they also know how to have fun while doing it. Tiffany was ready to dial in what she wanted her business to feel like visually so we worked together and created this amazing photo shoot. If you are having a wedding or event and need some great food & fun, contact Maui Catering Services. You will not be disappointed.
