I was digging through photographs from 2014 when I stumbled across this session I never blogged. It has a bit of sentimental value since it was one of the first times I got to use my underwater camera. This family was here on vacation and thought it would be fun to add some water play […]

Sunrise at Yokohama Bay is a pastel palette blanketing a rugged landscape. You emerge from the car after a long drive and feel salty serenity – as if you’re the only people on the island and quite possibly, that you’ve been transported back in time.

A still morning in Koolina I met this sweet family of three at Paradise Cove for a lovely sunrise photo session. The best thing about sunrise sessions (other than gorgeous, dreamy light of course) is that you have the beach all to yourself. It’s peaceful and clean and the whole day stretches out before you […]

When Tracy contacted me, pure enthusiasm and glee exuded from her email. Over email. Now that’s a feat. They weren’t just excited about their prospective photography session, but about their vacation, and really you get that sense that they are just excited about life in general. And no surprise, so is their little guy. He […]
