This was the backdrop for a Maui shoot. Beautiful hotel, perfect weather and lush palm trees. I took this photo during the styled shoot and while making a mental note; “I’ll come back and vacation here one day.”

I’m always mesmerized by the dance between light and water. I took this photo while waiting poolside for the models to set up during a styled shoot in Maui.

Nothing like stopping at the side of the road for fruit at a farmers market while exploring the islands. This photo takes me back to that dirt floor farmers market in Maui as we took a break from shooting styled props and models all day.

Some of the small, almost forgotten props from a styled shoot in Maui, Hawaii. Oftentimes it’s the UNstyled photos that turn out to be my favorite.

Forever working on capturing shadows, pretty proud of this attempt during a styled shoot in Maui.

Our backdrop of a styled shoot in Maui. Not bad at all.

While shooting a styled shoot at a popular wedding venue in Maui I appreciated the impact these small outdoor lights had on the whole evening. They set the tone & added warmth, forever obsessed.

Sunset watching at Ala Moana Beach Park. Usually I’m trying to run around the park but I’m forever distracted with the sunset, even simple ones like this.

Quick island hop from Oahu to Kauai with the husband. Discovered rows of plumeria trees at the hotel, could have stayed there all day.
