I absolutely adore this family! Kristi is such an amazing woman, friend, and mother. I am so excited that she came into my life this past year and we were able to work on a couple of projects together and get to know each other better than just waving hello while picking up the kiddos at school.

I will be so sad when you leave Hawaii, but you’ll have some great family photos to remind you of your time here!

I love it when I have the opportunity to join some photographer friends and shoot just for fun — even if I only make it to 20 minutes of the shoot. Thanks to Miss E. for being an amazing model and to everyone for letting me have some fun on a Friday afternoon!!

Aloha, y’all!

Sometimes I get to shoot just for fun. A good friend here, B with Just B Photo up on the North Shore, often will put together these “shootouts” where a bunch of photographers get together to learn and improve their skills.

Thanks, B, for putting these together for us and thanks to the cute couple who must have felt like their space was being invaded by paparazzi with all the clicks of shutters echoing around them!!!

I was lucky enough to be part of a senior photography and fashion editorial workshop with the amazing Amanda Holloway Photography and Nicole Cook Photography this past weekend in Sacramento. What makes this different and so much fun is that it was completely styled professionally — clothes, hair, and makeup were all professionally chosen and done. It makes a very big difference in the results!

So, are you a city mouse or a country mouse? Where would you like to have your senior portraits done?

We had the unique opportunity to partake in both an urban senior portrait photography shoot as well as an outdoor “country” shoot. The diversity of the images is outstanding.

I met Missy earlier this month on a crazy fluke. She and her family were in town on vacation for a couple of weeks and, since she is Hawaiian, wanted to do her senior pictures here instead of on the mainland. Lucky for me, I had a crazy schedule opening and we did her shoot the very next day! Missy radiates warmth and happiness and it was so much fun to watch the evolution of coming out of her shell from behind the lens. 🙂

It was so great meeting you and the family, Missy!

I thought it might be fun to do something a little different from this shoot and post her senior portrait video. It is all kinds of fun!
