A Dreamy Couple at White Rock Beach

Franco & Daniella reached out for a simple mini session. Sometimes 30 minutes is all you need and I’m happy to accommodate! We met at the beautiful White Rock Beach and had the most epic lighting that afternoon. I was able to get a Lei Po’o for Daniella to keep her hair out of her face and add the perfect Hawaiian touch. Their energy together was so tender as they both were quite shy. The photos are so stunning that I just have to share!! Enjoy and thank you Franco & Daniella for being willing to make all of these memories happen.

Dream Couple... Congratulations Luka & Rachel

When I met this couple in Seattle, I could feel their magic. They are both incredibly talented, Luka as a musician and Rachel as a dancer. They also make music together that takes me places. When they decided to move to Maui, I was so excited to cross paths with them again. Over Vietnamese food, they let me know they got married but never had photos done. I was more than excited to offer them a couple’s session on Maui! We went to a beautiful spot on the North Shore and the images speak for themselves. So much magic and beauty! Congratulations you two!!!

Eat Love. Pray Love. EnJoy Love.

I love when I get the opportunity to witness sweet, genuine love between a couple. Joy & Jake have been in my life now for awhile and we reconnected to capture their essence. They both have done an immense amount of spiritual work and they are both magical to say the least. On our walk upcountry on Thompson Road, I kept seeing these little micro-moments between them where their love was ever so clear. Enjoy these precious moments in time Joy & Jake… and thank you for allowing me to witness it… such an honor.

Vow Renewal Never Looked So Good....

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!

Engagement ~ Kim + Tim

I absolutely love LOVE! Every week I find myself in some aspect of celebrating love whether its photographing a wedding or getting a sweet inquiry from a new engaged couple like Kim & Tim. Whenever I get an inquiry, I get so excited as our conversations unfold and we begin to connect. Kim knew she wanted to take her photos in a tucked away cove next to the ocean with the option of greenery as well. I knew of one of my favorite spots on the south side that would be the perfect place for us to create magic. We decided on a morning meet up as the weather on Maui had been quite surprising with unexpected snowfall, high winds and lots of passing showers. We completely lucked out with warm sunshine, blue ocean tones and a soft breeze that morning. Kim & Tim were so sweet with each other and knew just how to make each other giggle. They were up for hiking around on the rocks, getting in the ocean and we all really enjoyed every minute we had together. They will be celebrating their marriage in September in the Redwoods of California. I wish those two the best of luck on their journey in life together and hope they will always remember this simple, sweet Maui morning when it was just the two of them giggling with Aloha swirling all around them.
