Walking on the beach is always fun. Running on the beach with kids is even better. But ending your family portraits in the water is the best!

Rocco lived an amazingly long 17 year life and I loved seeing him and his human little brother grow together as I captured them at each session last year.
So many great memories.

I will miss your fluffy little face, Rocco!

Family portrait perfection!
💙
And this photo almost didn’t happen!!!!
We all got up at the crack of dawn to capture some nice sunrise family portraits for this vacationing ohana from California.
While we were doing some regular fun jumping shots, I noticed Kara in a perfect ballerina posture and mentioned it to her.
“Well, I’m a dancer” came out of her..
My mind started to spin and I had her flying through the morning air in no time.
🤸
It really was something else.

When you have three photo sessions scheduled for your Saturday and no days off in sight, you got to sneak in some fun activities in between the work just so you don’t burn out, even if you have your dream job. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m so happy to live in a place where I don’t have to drive hours just to get out to the mountains and can hop on a paddle-board or go for a hike right after work.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And sometimes I can just lay on the grass, eat my breakfast after a sunrise photoshoot and watch the birds fly from the palm trees to these orange Royal Poinciana trees. (just like in this photo)

Summer is officially here!
It’s not “just” a regular summer - it’s The summer after pandemic year.
☀️
Oahu has exploded with visitors and there are lots of new babies so
we’ve been extremely busy.
☀️
We are now booked for rest of June, July and August is getting booked up as well.
Make sure to book early for September - the best way is to inquire via our website.
☀️
Thanks everyone for your patience, we are working on your galleries, albums and orders.
We’ve been a bit overwhelmed and I didn’t even have a chance to post any stories from behind the scenes (or anything else for that matter!), but I’ll try to work on that to keep you posted.
☀️
And as always - don’t forget to email/message us to let us know what your experience was working with us and send us photos/videos of your family enjoying your albums or other products. We love hearing from you!
😘

I just photographed this mama's baby yesterday. Baby came early but was healthy (and super cute!)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This shot is from the maternity session we did. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fun story: We were all looking at the bird flying above the rocks when we spotted a whale breaching out of the ocean. We could not believe our eyes and were so surprised to see it at the end of May!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Also - this dress is from our studio closet!

Celebrating first B-day in style. For a grand party at the early age of 1, you don’t need much more than the beach, parents, a little beach tent and a surfboard.

Hello, I’m Lucie and I’m a cheese addict! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Of course I have to tell you this today as I heard it’s a National Cheese Day.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🧀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m a big fan of any cheese and love them all but my current favorite is the Halloumi cheese. It’s made from goat & sheep’s milk, sort of salty and has slightly spongy texture.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🧀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I think I fell in love with it when I was on island of Cyprus in the Mediterranean Sea. It was love at first taste so you can only imagine my excitement when I found it here in Hawaii!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🧀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They don’t have it in stock all the time but when I see it, I stock up! I usually slice it on top of my avocado toast but I heard it’s delicious grilled as well!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🤤 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What’s your favorite type of cheese?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Seven years ago, we were getting ready for the arrival of our daughter Kaili. We were relatively new to the island and had no idea what will future bring.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
❤️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Kaili brought so much joy into our lives and so did this beautiful island. We’ve worked super hard to establish our photography business here and it makes me SO happy that I can help people capture memories with their families. I don’t believe there is anything more important than the people closest to you and the time you spend with them.

I took photos of Addy when she was a newborn and continued photographing her throughout her first year. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m so excited to do the same for the new addition to their cute ohana coming soon!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This was probably the shortest commute I had to do for a photoshoot outside of our studio.
I’m photographing Ezekiel’s first year and their second session was at their home which is really close to our house. I hopped into the car, punched the address in and GPS stated: “estimated travel time -1 minute”. 😃

If you are traveling and want a sunrise photoshoot

If you are traveling and want a sunrise photoshoot, but are not a morning person - schedule it at the beginning of your vacation. You’ll be getting up early thanks to the jetlag anyway! Plus there is lesser chance of you getting burnt!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These two lovebirds flew in from Arizona and were super excited to start their week off with this stunning scenery early in the morning.

I really enjoy photographing maternity portraits for the happy parents and I’m even happier when they decide to continue the fun with the First year of the baby package. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Can’t wait to share so many amazing moments with this gorgeous mama and her family.

First Birthday Book. Your baby is turning one and you want to capture this milestone, right?!
We got you covered! How cute is this book from Mason’s 1st year portrait session at our studio?!
We did some family photos on simple white backdrop, photos of the B-day boy with some fresh monstera leaves from our yard then changed it up with balloons and of course ended it up with a little cake smash!

Sorry 🤪😬
Well, an updated family photoshoot is in works right now and in the meantime, enjoy this fun shot from our session in 2019 taken by the lovely @rachelrobertsonphotography

I mailed out three copies of this gorgeous couple’s album to the different parts of the world - Washington, Florida & Australia.
I’m pretty sure it will be adored at all those locations 😍.

Cake smash photos are so fun to do when your baby turns one. (Or two or three for that matter!)
🎂
Some kids have a blast and smash it while laughing hard, some kids barely touch it, want nothing to do with it and rather splash in my little tub with rubber duckies.
🎂
Either way it’s fun to see your kiddo’s personality to shine through.
