Joseph Kaimana okalani Braceros

I had the privilege of shooting the first pictures for baby Kaimana. He is 9 days old today - born on April 19th, 2009. He was such a pleasure to photograph and was very easy going and relaxed. His mommy & daddy hired us to take his first photos and to do his birth announcements.

Here are a few photos from his shoot:

Steve & Sara Newman's Wedding 04.25.09

This past weekend was definitely a crazy and busy one - but it was filled with tons of fun. After our Junior Prom photo shoot - Kevin and I headed over to meet with Kahu Keli'i Arruda (http://www.4opihisweddings.com) to photograph the wedding ceremony of Steve & Sara. It was an honor to be a part of Kahu Keli'i Arruda's ceremony once again, as we have worked with him a few times before - his ceremonies are unique, beautiful and simple.

The ceremony for Steve & Sara took place at the beautiful Kapalua Bay on the far side on a bluff above the ocean. After many days of rain and wind - we were very lucky to have such wonderful wedding weather and the sunset that afternoon was absolutely amazing.

Along with Steve and Sara were their beautiful children - 3 girls and a boy. They were a lovely couple and a lovely family and Kevin and I surely had lots of fun capturing their special day. Thank you to Steve, Sara and their wonderful children for allowing us to be a part of your special day. And of course, Mahalo to Kahu Keli'i Arruda for giving us the opportunity to share in such a special moment.

Here are a few photos from the Newman wedding shoot:

H.P. Baldwin High School Junior Prom 2009

It was a privilege to capture the special moments of a few teens that attended the Junior Promenade for H.P. Baldwin High School. The Prom was held at the Beautiful Westin Maui Resort & Spa on Saturday, April 25, 2009. Not only was this a momentous occasion on my end because I am an alumni of Baldwin High School having attended my own prom more than 10 years ago - this was also the prom for my baby sister Harmony. The Prom committee made a fine choice of choosing The Westin Maui as their location - not only because of their beautiful landscaping and architechture - but also because I had worked at property before and was very familiar with where would be the best locations to use for back drops. Kevin and I had a blast capturing these photos and the team was very energetic and fun to work with.

Here are a few pictures of Harmony and her friends that joined her that evening. Thank you to Harmony, Nohea, Michelle, Reanne and Jaren for allowing us to be a part of your special event.
