Sara and I became friends from the ever popular FACEBOOK! She's a model who lives in Haiku Maui. We almost instantly set something up for my next trip to Maui. Since then we have done 2 shoots together and this is from our first visit at Kanaha Beach. She is such a lovely person. Sara is enthusiastic about trying anything and she know her body well. She is as carefree as the tropical breeze and a joy to shoot!

Can't wait to shoot with her again:)

The beautiful Kamiki Aki and Keala Benavides exchanged their vows at the Hotel Wailea Maui in front of all their family, friends and loved ones. It was a perfect sunny day. Her stunning bridesmaids were lovely in their chocolate earthy tone dresses. After the ceremony we took more pictures on the beautiful grounds at the hotel. They have the perfect setting to take pictures of two people completely in love with each other. Thank you to Kamiki and Keala for letting me capture your special day:)

~~~~Love is in the air~~~~

This group of beautiful people is the Andrade/Flores Ohana. Usually the bigger the family the harder it is to photograph because there are more people to direct, focus and keep the attention. But to my surprise they were easy, low key and just enjoyed being together as a family because some of them were visiting from California. Which makes it all the more important to capture these moments together:) Have a superb week everyone!
