Families that Travel Together...Have More Fun!

The Clonts & Burson Families came on a dual family vacation to Maui together for Spring Break. They decided to book a session with me to document this special time on the island as well as the 3 soon to be graduating Seniors!

We all landed at Ironwoods Beach which has beautiful white sand and those ocean blues that are breathtaking. Each family had time to do multiple combinations together for pictures and as one big group. The moms had not coordinated on color schemes ahead of time but all I can say is.. Great Minds Think Alike! They all were spot on with whites & blues and matched wonderfully.

The children enjoyed gathering driftwood and playing gently in the waves as we worked through the important photos. Besides the extra ocean breeze, I think we all had a great time on Maui’s North West Shores.

Enjoy this sneak peek and if you are considering coming with close family friends, lets go out for a beach adventure and grab these memories!

Lots of Love to the Clonts & Burson Families as well as an early Congratulations to Natalie, Kate & Kylie!

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!!!

Family Forever

Gina & her family were so incredibly loving and sweet. We enjoyed the gorgeous backdrop off Kealia Boardwalk in South Maui. The expansive white sand beach and views of both Haleakala & West Maui mountains make for the most scenic backdrops.

Have a look at this beautiful session and contact me for your session!

Beautiful Backyard Wedding in Haiku, Maui

Classic South Side Family Session

I have a secret spot in North Kihei that always gives us the best lighting, background and overall fun when it comes to family sessions. Have a look and if you want to know more about having a photo session there, contact me!

This cute family from Northern California was ready to play and enjoy one another. Makes my job not really seem like a job at all. I really feel blessed to meet such amazing folks all the time and capture their love.

Kula Botanical Garden Elopement

There is something to be said about keeping it simple… just a bride, groom, minister and beautiful gardens surrounding the wedding. Jon & Amy decided to have an elopement upcountry and it was a tender, sweet wedding. We all slowed down together and enjoyed to cool breeze and colorful flowers of the grounds. Kula Botanical Gardens is a well established place with plenty to offer if you want a laid back yet beautiful afternoon. Congratulations Jon & Amy… I hope you enjoy these moments as much as I do….

Hello.... How's Everybody Now~a~days?

Hey there…. Just like everyone else, I’ve been laying low for about a year enjoying slower days and some much needed rest. I am happy to say that I am back on the wedding scene on Maui and picked up some help during my “quarantine” journey. Photography is definitely a passion of mine and when I get to photograph a wedding or a family session, it hardly feels like work. I feel happy and the highlight is connecting with new people and learning their stories. I have never had a steady second shooter and I’d like you all to meet Gabriel. He is the man in my life and what a talented man he is. He’s normally traveling the world singing songs with his band WOLFCHILD but with the Covid stuff going on, he’s been hanging out on Maui. I’ve been teaching him all the tricks I know with the camera and now he is joining me on my photo shoots. Here’s a sneak peek of us behind-the-scenes at our most recent wedding and the photos we got from the spots we were in. I hope to see all of your smiling faces out in the world real soon….

Stunning South Side Family Session

I find it so incredibly touching when I get the opportunity to capture the generations in a family session. This beautiful family has been in my Maui life for quite some time now. They all have such amazing gifts and the best smiles. Angela and I met at the Haleakala Waldorf preschool yard when our daughters decided to be best friends. I think she & I were very relieved that we liked each other as well. Her husbands parents are also here on island and have helped raise their daughter. Their bond is undeniable and they were such a joy to work with. The golden light came out in full force and we bathed in it until the sun went down.

Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to photograph this moment in time. Congratulations to Marc & Angela for their 10 year anniversary together and to Leila & Dieter for being together for about 60 years ( i believe). How inspiring!!! Much Aloha to You All!

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.
