Sun setting along the ocean as their backdrop, trade winds gently blowing, family & friends  gathered to witness true love! That was the setting of this beautiful intimate wedding, along Kauai’s Western most shore. It was simply an elegant event. Boasting great charm and originality and masterfully crafted by planner Marlene Mira of Mira Mira Events at Kekaha’s Ocean Front Fischer House & Cottage. I loved this couple & this wedding, it was such a pleasure to be a part of their special day! Enjoy a few of my favs from their event…it was hard for me to pick just a few

It was one of those days were I had to pinch myself to the natural beauty this island blesses us with daily. The whipping wind didn’t stop these smiles and songs of laughter. This sweet, fun, beautiful family had the ultimate Kauai portrait session! Monk seals greeted us as we walked along the beach. Rainbows filled our backdrop our entire session! It was  hard to just pick a few images from this sesh as this family was so cute and fun to photograph.

Enjoy a few images from their session filled with Aloha

Wishing you all a HAPPY & SAFE Halloweeeennn!

It was probably one of the most amazing experiences  to be part of my good friends birth. Brittany was glowing and smiling through out the whole birth. No really, she was!  Her experience at Home Birth Kauai was unforgettable.   I am so grateful for being a part of this birth experience and it was a beautiful, calm and peaceful way to bring a new life into this world.

Much love to the Kurowski Family and their new addition!

Note to self: If I ever get the chance to document another birth I need to remove myself a bit more. I was just so excited to be a part of her birth that I didn’t get as much of the story as I wish I would have. I loved EVERY minute of it and I am so happy to have been there for the birth of their 4th child. ….And I have to agree I think Kinley should have Meadow somewhere in her name as mom birthed & walked around the meadow for quite some time

Happy Birthday Kinely! Welcome to this beautiful world!!!!

Keepsake Albums are by far the best ways to cherish your images forever. They tell your story and can be shared like a coffee table album to friends and family for years to come.

I love offering unique professional papers and custom cover options to my clients making your album be about you and your style. Custom finished papers make the images really pop! To me it’s important that my clients take away something breathtaking from their session. I am not talking about just getting images themselves on a disk to throw in the desk drawer and never to look at again, but a work of ART!  I DO feel it is important to have a professionally created piece after your session to have at least one awesome piece to go away with. Let me create a keepsake album from your wedding &/or session and make your story be told and come to life.

Please take a moment and view the incredible Layflat Album (solid brown) & Flush Mount Albums (speckled brown).

Boutique Packaging included.

JUsT For FuN!

This little angel had such a beautiful, contagious smile ! Right from the start she knew the attention was all about her….so cute!! Happy 1st Birthday Baby Girl!!

I know I say it al the time, but I love maternity sessions.  Couples are always so happy and anxious to meet their new little one.  Our portrait was scheduled for Baby Beach in Poipu, and Crystal thought she knew where it was, apparently people call Poipu Beach, Baby Beach as well. I lived here for 12 years and never knew that but hey, I thought hmm I wonder if she is thinking of Poipu Beach when she wasn’t there at our scheduled time. So we kinda ran out of sunlight time since we drove around Poipu looking for each other! LOL lucky for us, I had a morning shoot on South shore so I came after to give her a real session where we aren’t rushing to be done before the sun. Crystal is a photographer herself and it was fun working with her and her family. Congrats on your new addition, your family is so beautiful! AND thanks for being flexible and taking two days out of your Kauai vacation for pictures, at least now on your next visit you will know where the real Baby Beach is Great meeting you guys, enjoy a sneak peek into their session….
