Traveling has been a passion of mine since I got my first passport at 6 months old (no joke!) I sat on my moms lap and made gaga sounds at the photographer. I started traveling alone at age 6 to visit my Aunt in Missouri every Summer. I haven't stopped since. Where I go, my camera follows. I love experiencing new places and capturing each one in my own way.
I’m not a morning person. But at least when I do wake up, I have amazing scenery, a lovey couple and great light! Robin + Nathan were totally up for my crazy idea for a sunrise session in Lahaina! And getting all the way in the water – for sure! Love these two!
I thought I would follow up Troy + Heather’s gorgeous Honua Kai wedding with their trash the dress session! We met up the day after the wedding and I took them to some of my favorite spots on the island! They were totally up for jumping in the water too – love it!
Jen + Clayton’s trash the dress session happened the day before the wedding! It was my first time getting to know them as well as my first trip to the Iao Valley. Oh my gosh, this place was gorgeous! Green mountains, rolling clouds – exactly how you would picture Hawaii! It had so many unique places to shoot. At sunset we went back to Kihei and had some fun in the waves! Well, they had more fun while I got to photograph it all 😉
Arzo and Sam had a quiet, private wedding ceremony at the Courthouse, just the two of them. Exactly how they wanted it to be. I met up with them a few days later for some official wedding portraits since besides the marriage, the photos were important to them. Arzo had a simple rose bouquet made by Wholesale Flowers and we ended the evening at sunset in La Jolla Cove.
Wow, this post is waaaaaaaaayyyyyy overdue! I took these photographs in March of 2010! Over a year ago. It was just a fun, personal shoot so it took the back burner. I didn’t even really look at the images until I was on my 14 hour plane ride to Africa. My good friend Cathy was in town visiting after WPPI in Vegas and one of her wishes was to shoot at the Mission in San Juan Capistrano. Along with another friend, Bethany and our gorgeous model (another good friend, florist for Exquisite Blooms – Sally) we headed north to take some beautiful photos at one of my favorite shooting locations!
I absolutely love succulent bouquets, and Sally made this one! Stunning!
After the Mission we headed to this open field near by for some more fun shots!
Bethany 🙂
My favorite Aussie, Cathy!
