What a doll.
I had the pleasure of shooting Matthew and Chanelle Alvarado's new baby (sort of new, he's 6 weeks old) "Mikael" (pronounced Mik-Ale). What a sweetie. He was a delight and had THE most beautiful olive toned skin. I'm really proud of Mommy and Daddy. They are babies themselves at 21 years old and are handling being new parents with such grace and beauty. It's always nerve wracking shooting for a photographer, let alone one as talented as Matthew. Thanks for giving in and finally letting me shoot him. He's going to have an amazing life with you as parents.
Welcome to the world Mikael.

Let the Love....and ME.
Let The Love is a RAD photo blog for weddings and engagement shoots that shows off true and honest photography. They had a contest with the theme of "Summer Love." They wanted to see "romance in the sun." I just happen to have a great shot of the beautiful Shelley Laine (my lovely baby sister) and her gorgeous man, Marlon Lewis. (Yes, the son of famous windsurfer and shaper Jimmy Lewis.) Marlon loves to spearfish, so I caught (no pun intended) a great shot of Shelley trying to steal a kiss.... And I WON! YIPPPEEEEE
Check out Let The Love's blog here. You can also click on their logo below to see my post on their Facebook page. Keep up the awesome blogging Tory and Wendy, you guys rock....
Maui Girl, "Demi Lynn"
My daughter. The girl is super duper sassy. Feathers in her hair. Legs a mile long. A "vegetarian that eats steak." A child that is as stubborn as a mule and also communicates with me via magna doodle board......oh my. She's almost 8. Time sure flies by. I know that I'm going to blink and she'll be 16 and I probably will be losing my hair over this girl.
Senior Portrait, Maui Girl "Serena"
Need I say anymore about this lovely, talented young lady? More to come.....dig her.
Haiku Mill, Corey and Jim
This is how I photograph weddings. Fun details. Beautiful couple. Lots of love. Jim serenaded Corey as she walked down the aisle. Seriously? Where do women find men like this? :)
Jim and Corey were a pleasure to work with as were all the amazing vendors at the Haiku Mill. I've shot a ton with Matthew Alvarado from Beloved. What a talented guy. Kudos to him for allowing me to tag along and capture the beauty in this union. Stephanie from Garnish provided the pretty cocktails, for whom I LOVE working with. Enjoy!

Some of my dearest friends, the Newmans. Amazing family.
Maui Vow Renewal, Kapalua Bay, Jim and Sue
For those of you who know me, you know I've had a tough year. It's called "DIVORCE." It sucks. It's hard. It hurts. And of course I shoot a ton of weddings. Lots of tears at these events! I've hid behind my camera so many times, crying, trying to pretend it's because I'm so touched by the vows being exchanged in front me, but it's not. It's because I'm sad. Wondering about love. Testing my faith. I still believe in love.
Maui Family Photographer, Hotel Wailea
This family is from Dinan and Suzanne's family photos. I really like shooting Indian weddings. The colors are so brilliant! This is right out of camera. No edit. :)
Maui Wedding Photographer, Hotel Wailea, Suzanne and Dinan
After this sweet couple's vows were exchanged, we ran down to Polo Beach and did some fun beach shots. More later from their awesome event at Hotel Wailea. Big thanks to the talented Rachael Barnard and Kara from Hotel Wailea Weddings and Island Rents. Beautiful two day event. Thank you........

Maui Wedding Photography, Kapalua Bay Wedding, Aimee + Brian
I decided I love these little no-nonsense beach weddings. So much fun to really get creative and have the time I need to just shoot with the couple. I really enjoy it. This was for Nicole at Behind The Lens Maui. Thanks so much to Nicole and also our beautiful little island of Maui. I love these Kapalua Bay weddings. Really gorgeous lighting and what a great couple. I'm lucky.
