The Beach, a Turtle & A whole lotta Love... Family Session on the North Shore

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….

Cara + Family in Poli Poli

This sweet family met me on the beautiful slopes of Haleakala for their family session. The background of the forest made a gorgeous setting for this trio to run around and have a great time. My advice to parents with little ones is to allow the children to roam and enjoy themselves. We can create the moments by adding the parents into what the child naturally finds fun! This usually takes the stress off the idea of a typical portrait session and everyone, including the children, end up really enjoying the photo shoot. Check out all of the amazing moments captured when the parents just played with little Bodhi. Thank you Cara, Jake and Bodhi for a beautiful morning.
