Carter 'Ohana - Family Portraits


Today was a fun and exciting day. We had scheduled a Family Portrait session with the Carter 'Ohana for today - thinking it would be a wonderful day to shoot photos at the Ali'i Kula Lavender Farm... however, much to our amazement - it was pouring up there. After contemplating where we could go that would give us a great photo session, we found ourselves heading into Makawao and utilizing the grounds of the Hui No'eau Visual Art Center. It's always easy to shoot there because of the different surroundings around every turn - so it although it was not our initial plan, we had fun and quite enjoyed ourselves. ;-)

Kevin and I had lots of fun on this shoot, as the Carters and Papa are not our average Family Portrait session... they are old time friends (considered to be 'ohana) and it was nice to spend the few hours catching up on ol' times as well. Because my pregnancy has me limping and dragging along, Kevin was the main photographer for this shoot... and I stood in the backdrop catching pictures from afar. Our son Ka'eo even joined in and acted as assistant for Kevin and I - holding the reflector when needed and carrying our clipboard... a little guy in training... ;-)

Above are a few photos that I put into a quick collage to share. Thank you to Kaleo, Kamiki, Papa, Kamahi and Maka'iwa for working with us today and for having such a nice dinner out... we had so much fun and truly enjoyed it.
