Congratulations to Kanoe, Class of 2013!

I love being a senior portrait photographer here in Hawaii! I get to do some of the most awesome shoots! Kanoe really wanted an urban shoot, but we also wanted to combine a softer green shoot to give her the best gallery of images possible. We were still downtown Honolulu, but selected a location where she could get some softer backgrounds as opposed to the mainly urban shoot we did on the first day.

This is from her second day shoot, which is all green backdrops and fun.

Thanks, Kanoe, for selecting Sunshine Soul Photography to create these amazing memories for you to treasure for a lifetime!

I absolutely adore when I get to shoot mommies and their littles! It makes me think of my own kiddos and how much I need to document every moment and make sure they have those memories recorded on film so that they will be able to look back at a moment in time.

I am so lucky that this awesome lady and her family wanted to have a quick mommy and me shoot to celebrate Mother’s Day.


Thanks for letting me capture these precious memories for you!

Congratulations to Kanoe, Class of 2013!

Once again, I am so honored to have been chosen to document this amazing time in this lovely young lady’s life. I love being a senior portrait photographer! We got to do a whole bunch of fun stuff here. She really wanted an urban shoot, so we combined a downtown urban shoot with a softer green shoot to give the most in backdrop possibilities. She ended up with an amazing gallery that will really speak to this time in her life!

This is the first shoot, which was the urban shoot. We shot all of these just by walking around downtown, Honolulu. I’ll post her green stuff separately.

Senior year is such a hallmark time and full of such amazing things that are happening in the lives of those who are on the cusp of adulthood and leaving the nest. One of the reasons why I love senior portrait photography so much is that I am so, so excited for the things that these young people have to look forward to in their upcoming years! And, you can sense their own excitement in the photos. They absolutely own that moment in time. I love it!

Stephanie (Class of 2013)
{Oahu, Hawaii Senior Portrait Photography}

Congratulations to Stephanie, who is graduating from Sacred Hearts Academy this week! I was delighted to be the one to provide her senior portraits when she contacted me a few weeks ago. It was fun to do something a little different and show her softer side. The word of the day was classy and feminine, and we definitely made the wind work for us!

Stephanie, you are beautiful. It was a pleasure taking these photos for you and I am honored to provide you and your family with these memories that will last a lifetime.

If you are interested in having your senior portraits done with Sunshine Soul Photography or becoming a senior spokesmodel, please contact me!

Why Sunshine Soul Photography?

I often get asked why my company is named Sunshine Soul Photography and what brought me to this point in my life.

I was the girl who always had the camera around her neck, even at a very young age. It all started with my very first Polaroid and continued to grow from there.

Like a lot of other momtographers out there, having my own children really was the inspiration behind my photography. When my son was born, I needed a better camera to really capture those precious moments that pass by all too quickly. Then, I needed an even faster one so I could catch that perfect smile and his little toddling walk. When my son was born, he brightened my soul with every little thing he did and truly brought so much sunshine into our lives.

My kiddos are my inspiration — they bring sunshine to my soul and are the reason behind my photography. 🙂

Happy Mother’s Day to all the other mommies out there who are truly blessed to have their little sunshines.
