The Mathews Family

The Mathews family visited Oahu this month with their extended family, and I and the privilege of meeting up with them on the North Shore for a family photo session.  We explored the beach at Malaekahana, and it was amazingly beautiful!  Thanks guys, for a fun afternoon, and having me be a small part of your vacation!

The Burt Family

This past week, I got to hang out with the Burt family at Ho'omaluhia Botanical Gardens and take some family photos.  Their older son and his family were in town visiting, so they wanted to do a session while they were all together, and of course with their ADORABLE grandkids (who stole the show)!  Thanks guys; I enjoyed documenting these memories for you!

Mindy & Scott's engagment session

I love shooting at the North Shore for so many reasons; it is just so raw and fresh and beautiful.  Mindy, Scott and I had a great time shooting their engagement session and enjoying the sunset on this balmy Hawaiian evening last week.  They are so in love, and I am so stoked to be able to shoot their wedding next year.  Thanks guys for the fun evening, and congratulations!

Kailer's Newborn session

This week I got to hang out with this cutie-patootie, Kailer, and his proud parents!  It is always such a privilege to get to do a maternity session for a couple and then to come meet their new baby a few weeks later for a newborn session (you can view Stefanie and Roger's maternity session here).  Congratulations guys, Kailer is a sweetheart!

Katie + Jose

This past week, Katie and Jose were married in a beautiful and private ceremony on the beach at Ko'olina, surrounded by just their parents, who were as happy and as proud as can be!  The sunset was spectacular that evening, and was a perfect ending to their special day.  Congratulations Katie and Jose, and thank you for having me be a small part of your big day!

The L'Heureux Family

Last week I was so excited to be able to meet up with past wedding clients of mine for a family portrait session (you can take a peek at highlights from Delia and Jason's Moli'i Gardens wedding here).  We met up with them and their family at Ho'omaluhia Gardens, and took advantage of the beautiful diffused light from the overcast afternoon.  Thanks guys for the reunion and the fun afternoon!

Stefanie and Roger's maternity session!

This week I got to hang out with Stefanie and Roger at the Halona Blowhole Cove for a gorgeous afternoon of shooting!  They are expecting their first baby next month, and Stefanie is beautiful in all her mama-to-be glory!  I am so excited for you guys as you start this adventure called parenthood!

Kirsten + Jonathan

Kirsten and Jonathan had a destination wedding here in Hawaii, and were married at a beautiful and secluded beach at Ko'olina, surrounded by their closest family and friends.  They had such a touching ceremony that honored their beautiful children as well, and celebrated the coming together of their new family.  Congratulations guys, and thank you for having us be apart of your special day.

Dana + Bobby

Last weekend we had the privilege of shooting Dana and Bobby's BEAUTIFUL wedding at the Laniakea YWCA in downtown Honolulu.  We began the day by exploring the historic downtown area, and got some great shots.  Next, the ceremony was held in the courtyard of the Laniakea; I am always blown away by the beauty of this venue!  The reception party unfolded right in the same location, after a magical transformation during cocktail hour.  What a night!  Congratulations guys, on your classy and memorial event!

Tanya + Scott

Tanya and Scott were married at St. Mark's Lutheran Church in Kaneohe, and followed their ceremony  with a reception at Scott's lovely family home in Ka'a'awa.  The party was decorated with beautiful little origami statuettes, lit from the inside, and hand created by Scott himself.  The lighting effect it made was magical!  Congratulations guys, on your much anticipated wedding… we are so happy for you!
