Off The Beaten Path
Caroline glanced out her window while we talked and remarked on her backyard views from her home in Switzerland. Lake Geneva shimmered in the distance as mountains rose up to meet a brilliant blue sky. Wildflowers dotted the countryside in a setting quiet enough to hear bird song. I was ready to hop on a […]
An Impulse You know your vacation is amazing when you decide to book a photo session before you leave the next day. We travel fairly often as a family and it’s safe to say I’m fairly useless before a flight. I wander from room to room forgetting why I’m there and repeating the same actions […]

First family photos There’s something special about that moment when you celebrate your new family status. Now, a family of three. I met them at Makapuu Beach as the sun began to warm the horizon, hinting at the warm day to come. Raphael sat in his car seat looking a little confused by the strange […]

My face has gotten me into trouble in the past. It betrays any thoughts or feelings i’m experiencing. Essentially, I have the opposite of a good poker face and in little Knox, I found a kindred spirit. He was feeling our morning beach outing intensely. His family was in Hawaii on vacation so everything about […]

Sunrise over Laie Beach Park A pink sunrise welcomed us to the beach on that summer morning. It was the type of morning that makes you happy you set your alarm clock and wonder why you don’t do it more often. The kids were unfazed by the early hour and made a beeline for the […]

What is it about baby curls that makes them irresistibly cute? By some force of biology, I find baby talk spewing from my mouth in a voice a full octave higher. It’s some sort of cuteness trigger that I can’t control. The cuteness didn’t stop with the curls, this little guy was also super expressive. […]

At home in Hawaii Although Teale and her family were visiting from the Bay area, they’re no strangers to Hawaii. They have strong ties to the island and were married at her godmother’s home in Hawaii Kai. It’s there that we met for a special maternity session. Little Grace buzzed about excitedly as she gave […]
Adventure Family Photography This family proudly holds the title of my most photographed family and they don’t even live on Oahu. Our first session was years ago when little Eleanor was a toddler and they were still a family of three. They have some serious Hawaii love and it’s a joy to see them each […]

At 19+ hours, the flight from Australia to Canada is a painfully long one – especially with kids in tow. Meisha and her family were suffering through the long flight to visit family. Fortunately, Hawaii lies in between making it an ideal layover for a few days of tropical R&R – swim, eat, lounge, and […]
