The Staircase

The Moana Surfrider has some fantastic architecture that is absolutely perfect for wedding formals :) Here's a sneak peak from Joe and Christine's wedding from last week! More to come later!

Happy Birthday Jacob & Olivia!

How exciting to take adorable pictures of TWIN brother and sister! Both of them were full of energy, and it was fun to capture their candid smiles :-) There were a swimming pool, bouncy house, water slider, lots of fun stuff and all the keiki were having a blast! Here are some highlight pictures from the party. Enjoy!

Sheri and Matt Engaged!

Matt and Sheri were a TON of fun to work with! Such great chemistry, and there was no shortage of laughter or smiles :) Matt has a membership to the Elk's Club in Waikiki, so we were able to get some great shots on the large lanai on the top floor, which also gave us a great view of the sunset. Sheri requested some shots next to the Kapiolani Park fountain, and that ended up being on the best requests that I've ever gotten, as you'll see at the end of this blog post :)

Congratulations you two!

A day in the life....

In anticipation of Ryder's first birthday, we spent an afternoon shooting with him and his family at the Kaneohe Botanical Garden. We quickly discovered Ryder's love for nature. Fish, birds, and plumerias! ...are just a few of the things this young boy adores. Being a baby is tough! For those that know me well, children hit a soft spot for me. :)

Happy Birthday Ryder!

Ryder's 1st Birthday!

Happy Birthday Ryder!

As much as I like taking pictures at weddings, one of my most favorite events to capture is Keiki Parties! The theme of this party was "The Cat in the Hat" and there were many decorations of the character all over the place. The kids were so excited for the face paint and balloon show, and of course, the biggest entertainment:  the Hypnosis Show :D All the volunteers were SUPER funny! There was no shortage of laughter in the room...I was laughing behind my camera as well so much :-) I loved seeing great family getting together for Ryder's first birthday, and he received so much cerebration from all the guests. Here are some highlight pictures from the party. Please enjoy!

Mr. and Miss Polynesia 2012 Photos

When the opportunity to photograph this event presented itself, I jumped at the opportunity and I'm glad I did.  Never had I seen so much love for Polynesian culture in one venue.  I could see it in all of the contestants, coordinators, and the people in attendance alike.  The performances, the fashion apparel was unlike anything I could have imagined.  Thank you to all of the contestants, performers and coordinators for making it possible.

The Fountain

One of the few engagement shoots where we went full circle...we started at the fountain, and ended at the fountain. I'm glad we did :) Stay tuned for more images from Sheri and Matt's e-session!
