Recently, I had the pleasure of capturing a beautiful session in Wailea for a couple celebrating their 5th anniversary. They wanted some romantic photos with muted colors and lava rocks as a backdrop.

Thankfully, there are so many places on Maui that would suit their vision — Wailea has a number of beaches with lava rock formations; the key is to come at low tide so the lava is showing! To achieve the muted tones, I suggested we schedule the shoot during “blue hour”, the time just before sunrise when the colors are soft and subtle, perfect for the vibe they wanted to create.

Recently, I had a chance to capture some sweet moments for Ellen and Gary’s gender reveal at Launiupoko Beach, and I’d like to share the photos with you!

A babymoon on Maui is the perfect opportunity for expecting parents to relax, bond, and create unforgettable memories together. In this blog post, I’d like to share some of the activitiy ideas for your babymoon on Maui.

You may ask, what is lifestyle newborn session and how is is different from a “regular” newborn photography? It means that we are not going to wrap your newborn in cabbage leaves, or put a flower crown on his/her head. Lifestyle photography is about telling a story of people through the camera. The focus is on the connection between the parents and the baby, or the baby in his or her new surroundings. It’s more simple and relaxed approach to newborn photography, and although there is some direction going on, the child isn’t posed in anyway. It’s about capturing what is!

I often hear from people that they are “terrible models” and “don’t know how to pose”. The truth is, it doesn't matter! What matters is creating an environment where you feel at ease. To make your couples session go smoothly, here are some posing tips that will help you feel comfortable and create beautiful photos that celebrate your love story.

Choosing the perfect location for your photoshoot starts with understanding your vision. Ultimately, it's a collaborative process and communication is the key. Share your preferences with your photographer, discuss the mood you envision, and be open to his or her suggestions. Together, you will discover the perfect location that turns your vision into timeless photographs.

There is something special about sessions in a water... It seems like they enhance the femininity of the woman, and they also work wonders for those who might be camera-shy. The water makes some kind of magic, creating a natural flow and atmosphere of ease and tranquility.

I recommend sunrise sessions for early risers and those who look for calm and peaceful vibes, and want their session to be more private. It's a great time to capture couple’s romantic moments or maternity photos. The downside of sunrise session is is the early wake-up. Depending on the time of the year, sunrise can be as early as 5:40-7 am. Although if you're traveling from the East or even the West Coast, you might find it easier to wake up early due to the time difference.

In this post I would like to share some photos from my first year living on Maui. After a few months working in a coffee shop and pizza place on Front Street I bought my first DSLR camera which I took with me almost anywhere I went to capture the amazing surroundings of Maui.

A maternity session is not just about capturing the physical changes but also the emotions and connection you share with your partner or family. Interact with them, let your love and joy shine through. Hold hands, cuddle, share kisses and loving glances. Involve your spouse or siblings by encouraging them to caress your baby bump and share the excitement. These gestures show the anticipation and love surrounding the arrival of your little one.

Lifestyle boudoir has more relaxed and simple approach to boudoir sessions where you don’t have to wear high heels, skimpy lingerie and get in weird poses. Instead, just put on a simple gown or t-shirt, cuddle up on the bed with a blanket or have a look at a beautiful sunset outside of your balcony!
