It was fun hearing a bit of this familyʻs history on our island through keiki cukes!! (cucumbers). We had a good time at the beautiful Anaehoʻomalu Bay, documenting this special trip with their teenage daughters and creating new memories to add to the family photo books. As usual, the Hawaiian scenery did not disapoint ;-). If youʻd like to secure your next photo session with your people, donʻt hesitate, LETʻS GO !

Meeting new people from all over the USA (and the world) is such a blessing. The fact that yall want to come to our beautiful rock in the middle of the ocean and then spend some of your limited time with me, trusting that together we will create something wonderful that youʻll look back on for years to come with a huge smile......fills me with the deepest gratitude to be in this industry. As a family woman myself, I treasure the memories with my loved ones and even more so wh

It had been raining ALL week and we werenʻt sure if we were going to have to reschedule our photo session.....push came to shove and flights were on the line so we said YOLO and went for it. The sky did not dissapoint! Iʻmma stop typing now so you can marvel at the wondrous colors of the Kona sunset. A few locally inspired tips to get the most out of your photo session: SHOOTS, we GO! (Come what may, we in this together!) Embrace the moment Enjoy and focus on the people youʻ

Are you a morning person? I am not naturally inclined to early mornings, I prefer burning the midnight oil whether its work, socializing or being inspired creatively. However as Iʻve grown in wisdom (aka years lol) there is something incomparable to the sunrise and then add to that a sunrise photo session?! The lighting, the vibe, the calm and peace in nature.....nothing can quite beat it. This family brought the calm vibes with their little ones and I was stoked to meet them

Only a couple days till Christmas.....I donʻt know about you but as I get older the most valuable gifts are the ones money canʻt buy. This year Iʻm not in my normal with meeting clients, doing photo sessions/events, dancing hula at events or neck deep in photo editing. I am neck deep in motherhood though!! Three kiddos, including our adorable newborn boy. We are in the thick of night feedings, diapers, sleep deprivation, caffeine and learning what our new rhythms are as a gro

I donʻt know about you but organizing my own personal family photos and then my extended family for photos is anything but peaceful!! It takes a lot of wrangling, gummy bears and deep breaths ;-). Fortunately Iʻve had the awesome privilege of experiencing peaceful family photo sessions, living through others, haha. These were one of them! Enjoy these fun family photos on a normal Hawaiian beach during sunset.

Today in the USA we it is a holiday to celebrate gratitude!! And what better way than to share gratitude than with a post celebrating ʻohana (family) coming together in one of the most beautiful places on earth, Hawaiʻi?! Itʻs been a bit rainy on the west side of Hawaiʻi island but this day turned out to be beautiful - it literally felt like everyone was out on the beach because it was such a beautiful evening ;-). I come from a large family that is spread out over the world

Sometimes itʻs nice to get off the beaten path and by that I donʻt mean the road less traveled......but rather road less noticed for itʻs charm and unique characterisics. Holualoa town is one of those places! We got my son's first passport at the Holualoa post office, one of our favorite coffee shops (shout out: WHITE NENE COFFEE ). Or the cutest local boutique/gift shop . But donʻt just take my word for it, on your next visit to the Big Island, be sure to check out Holualo

Took a risk on the rainy weather and were rewarded with stunning sunset photos
