Tahiti and Brazil are my beautiful nieces from Ulu (my sis) and Jonnie. I love capturing the beauty within my own ohana (family) and being able to watch them grow. These two girls have 3 brothers also! I'll be posting some images of them all together soon.

I used these same ti-leaves on Latai (Model) that you see on the post below. They were all taken on the same day and put to good use........recycled and reused:)

This young and beautifully exotic looking creature is Latai. We are starting a model portfolio for her and this was our first shoot. This shoot was put together at the last minute but I am so glad we did it. I met Latai through my niece, Ki'ilani who also likes to model for me from time to time but not anymore because she lives in Alaska now..... boohoo :( Anywho, isn't she gorgeous??

I hope to be seeing more of her in 2011!
Model: Latai Soakai
Makeup and Styling: Uilani Friedman

This is the beautiful Arquero Ohana. I photographed Rochel with her three handsome boys and fiance, Brian back in October 2009. This time around we have included Rochels' parents and brother:) It's always a joy to see your smiling face, Rochel:) I hope to keep capturing you and your wonderful family in the years to come.

Her daughter is just as photogenic as her! In fact she kept asking me take her picture:) She loves the camera~

Don't they look like hearts?

Kai contacted me through Facebook. She is running for a seat in the Maui County Council for 2010. She needed some photos taken for her campaign. We also did some family shots as well with her husband and their three great looking kids! These were taken at Iao Kepaniwai Park.  

The next blog will feature Kai's Campaign Portraits!

Meet the Nagasako Family! I met Sabrina from a wedding I did of her good friend Puaolena & Arthur Ross. We met at Iao Valley/Kepaniwai Park. It was a cloudy kind of day with a few drizzles here and there but still beautiful. I hope to capture your ohana for the years to come:)
