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

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….

I love me some beautiful bellies! Shanna just glowed in her mommy to be glory, seriously how beautiful is she!? First time parents are always the best…because they are so oblivious to what’s coming next! LOL You know…the cute cuddly baby of course! Baby Liam is hangin’ tight still yet, the waiting game has begun. I can not wait to meet him!!

Who says the pictures have to stop after the wedding!? Todd & Natalie wanted some images of just the two of them while on their honeymoon on the North Shore of Kauai. I loved these two!! They were so cute and super fun! Congrats to you both and I wish you a life full of love & fun times together!!

Enjoy a few of my favorites from their session…

Ok to be honest, I love trash the dress sessions!!!! It’s a super fun way to get some really relaxed images without the time constraints of your wedding day!  It’s so fun to just have fun with your dress and hey the waters warm here…so why not dip in!

I photographed Jeff & Tamah a few days before for their beautiful intimate island wedding.  Tamah & Jeff had so much fun and were overwhelmed by the beauty that the north shore of Kauai held they wanted more images. So they scheduled a day after session where they cut loose and got wet! How fun is that!

Jeff & Tamah were such a fun, super energetic couple!  Their love for each other was contagious!! Tamah was a fun loving, 3rd grade teacher whom, I hit it off with instantly at our first meeting. Since I used to teach myself and since my daughter was going into 3rd grade we just connected on so many levels!  I kinda wish she would just pack her bags and move to Kauai just to teach my daughter! But so far I haven’t been so lucky!  Jeff was so fun too, many guys don’t really get into the picture taking and are ready for it to be over before it begins. Not Jeff, he was enthusiastic and ready to strike a pose any which way with his new beautiful wife!

They chose the most intimate wedding location for their ceremony at the National Tropical Botanical Gardens on the south shore of Kauai. Being an avid gardner, a botanist by hobby, and a lover of botanical photography, I was super excited about the picture taking opportunities the Gardens had to offer.  I am sure you will agree they did a great job picking the botanical gardens for their intimate  destination island wedding!

We had a lot of laughs, a lot of rainbows and a lot of fun!

Congrats Jeff & Tamah on finally making it official after all these years! May you enjoy each others company for many more years to come!
