Olivia is a water girl. It's what she is passionate about. She is in the water every chance she gets. She is a surfer and swimmer and loves the ocean.

When her mom called to ask if we would like to photograph her we were in the COVID-19 pandemic and had no access to Maui beaches yet. We were able to get her in an infinity pool and create some portraits of her in the water with a seamless background which truly encapsulated who she is as a water girl and celebrate her senior year. Shortly after we photographed her in the pool the beaches were opened and we were able to schedule a separate session of her on the beach, complete with a haku lei (flower crown) created just for her. Making senior portraits of Olivia that are as unique is she is something we pride ourselves in as a photography studio. 

We are so excited for Olivia and delighted to help her celebrate her senior year as a member of the Class of 2020! Congratulations, Olivia!

Check out our first Class of 2021 Maui senior portrait model, @shandon_obregon from Baldwin High School! Shandon is already a successful actor and model (really!) who is a true professional. His goal is to work as a fashion model. We had fun photographing him at a private venue on Maui which gave us a variety of backgrounds and allowed him to change outfits to show his range. Mahalo to Shandon and his mom for all of the laughs. We are delighted Shandon loves his senior portraits! Congratulations on your senior year!

Once in a while a client comes along that really makes an impression and brings a whole new meaning to a portrait session. Class of 2020 member, Grace Devane, from Seabury Hall was certainly one them.

Grace is absolutely gorgeous inside and out and was incredibly humble about her talent both academically and athletically. With a gentle smile and quiet confidence, Grace not only excels academically as a straight A student, she is a rock star of a rhythmic gymnast. When we did her sunset senior portraits on the beach on Maui, she truly showed off her mad skills. She is headed off to Southern California for college and wants to pursue a degree in Education to teach elementary and 1st grade. There will be some lucky students, for sure, to have Grace as their teacher. 

To all the members of the Class of 2020 - We are all so proud of you then and now! We can't wait to see what you do!

Congratulations Grace!

Congratulations to another member of the Class of 2020, Ben Blakeslee!

This kind young gentleman is a true superstar! I knew I would enjoy photographing him when his mom called and told me he had been coming to Hawaii since he was 6 years old and loved animals, especially dogs. DONE! This young man is so grounded. He definitely has a patient, calm demeanor and is humble about all of his success both academically and in his extracurricular activities. Ben is total history buff, especially WWII, and one of his goals is to come back to Hawaii before all the Pearl Harbor survivors pass away. He is totally outdoorsy and loves hiking, traveling, backpacking, skiing, the pony cub and civil air patrol. You can see from his smile he is very mischievous - just look at that twinkle in his eyes! I am so excited to see what career path he chooses.

 We are all so proud of you then and now! We can't wait to see what you do!

Congratulations Ben!

Same dimple then and now! Congratulations to another member of the Class of 2020, Alex Walraven.

Handsome, blue-eyed Alex definitely has surfer look and is the baby of the family and I think he got the best traits since he has DIMPLES! My favorite! He is a calm, kind, deep thinker who gravitates towards books, facts, sports and understanding history and political science. He would love to teach history and truly enjoys being a camp counselor for 8-10yr olds at a Christian camp. On a perfect day, you can find Alex reading a book on politics in a hammock. This young man is destined for higher education!

Always the gentleman, Alex was gutsy enough to wear a sport coat, dress pants and button down shirt with a boutonnière during his portrait session. However, I wanted to show one of him in his Aloha shirt and shorts sitting on the lava rock since that was so similar to the one his mom sent me of him as a toddler.

A true student/athlete, Alex runs cross country and plays soccer. 

Class of 2020 seniors - We are all so proud of you then and now! We can't wait to see what you do!

Congratulations Alex!
