Off The Beaten Path
Jennell and Christian lived in Kailua while they completed their medical residencies years ago, so it has a special place in their hearts. When Christian’s parents started planning a big celebration and family reunion in Hawaii for their 40th anniversary, they suggested finding a home in their old stomping ground. After a bit of searching […]

Amber had an unfortunate newborn photography experience. That can be especially disappointing with your first and only child. Everything is so new and exciting and you want to hold on to those first moments as a family. Of course you’re just so tired, it’s hard to really process any of it. Personally, I wouldn’t remember […]

Nicole was traveling to Oahu with her family of four to visit relatives on the north shore, so we scheduled her photo session at Ke iki Beach. I can’t help it. I love that beach. It has mountain views, swaying palm trees, dramatic surf, rugged boulders, tide pools and a wide expanse of beach. What’s […]

Porsche was so excited for her photo session. For inspiration, she created an entire Pinterest board full of lovely family portraits taken on the mainland – grassy fields bathed in soft evening light, warm fall colors, tall boots, and cozy sweaters. Throw in an old barn for some extra ambiance. The were images that make […]
