Back in May I received a call from a San Diego Mom who was really excited to be coming to Maui in June with her husband Mark and two kids, Nicole, 24, and Matthew, 21. The family hadn’t done a photo session in many years, and with Nicole going off to school for her Ph.D. […]

Maui has a lot of meaning for some families who come back frequently to the island to spend quality time with their family. A few weeks ago I met and photographed one such family from San Diego, the Hampsons. Dave, his wife Dahlaine, and their two sons Brian and Jacob have been to Maui five times […]

This past spring break I got the opportunity to photograph a sweet midwestern family from Iowa, the Kittermans.

When I first met Selina and Chris, the day of their 20-year vow renewal on Po’olenalena Beach, I was shocked at how young they looked for being together for 20 years. The two met when Selina was just 17 years old and Chris was a young man in the military. After deciding they couldn’t live […]
