Maui Wedding Photographer, Maui Photographer

Begin Anew

Renew, rework, begin anew.  This has been my mantra the past year.  Not long ago, I worked for a couple of photography studios and said “Yes” to any job that came my way. I thought shooting weddings like crazy, meant that I was successful. Unfortunately, my work began to feel ingenuine and I was starting […]

Kids Rule

I find children and teens fascinating to photograph because they’re unpredictable. Most importantly, to photograph a child’s true nature, I give them space to be themselves. Similarly, when I photograph children with fewer expectations, more portraits become meaningful. Let the kids rule!

Maui Monthly Photo Challenge: Water

I experimented with a few eerie self- portraits and this is what I came up with. Be sure to visit Wendy Laurel’s photography blog to view her beautiful shot of water! I also […]

Maui Monthly Photo Challenge: Negative Space

Negative space is the space around the subject we are photographing. I use negative space in my images to place a stronger emphasis on the subject I’m photographing. Here are a few of my images! The color shots are from my family day in Kula, over the weekend, taken with my Nikon F film camera. […]

Lahaina, Shelly and Eddie

Shelly just lit up in-front of the camera, posed and moved with grace. At one point, I teased Eddie because he was making funny faces. He felt if he takes himself to seriously, he doesn’t have fun. I think that is a great approach while getting your picture taken. With Eddie’s lighthearted approach and Shelly’s […]
