The Pondelik family joined us again on Maui for family portraits and this time they wore totally colorful Lily Pulitzer dresses which made my day. The colors looked amazing with the background and also fit the fun, perpetually positive, loving, laughing family to a tee. It's always wonderful to see the little ones growing up and meeting new family members (like their youngest daughter) who were born after our last session. What a joy it is to have such amazing clients who return to us year after year and ask us to capture their joy together in Maui beach portraits during their vacation. What a wonderful way to celebrate family. Welcome back Pondelik family! 

Join us for a Maui photography experience! We would love to meet your family and capture your time together!

Congratulations to Anytime Fitness Pukalani's newest Milestone Member, Ed Romson.

I've been a member of Anytime Fitness Pukalani since I opened my Maui photography studio 5 years ago. Along the way during my workouts, I met Ed Romson on the treadmill. He is a true Success Story and was selected by the staff of Anytime Fitness Pukalani as their newest Milestone Member which includes a custom photo session on Maui with me and a poster in the gym featuring their favorite portrait from their photography session as well as their success story.

Ed grew up on Maui in a house located right on the ocean (lucky guy!) and had successful career setting up and managing call centers that took him all over the world. One of those locations was Japan. Ed was particularly drawn to the Japanese culture and one of the elements he was fascinated by was the samurai culture. When I saw he had a passion for this, I knew we had to incorporate a samurai portrait of him. So we grabbed one of his swords and went outside to create some portraits of him with the sword as a prop. According to the interwebs, "The samurai is a well-trained, highly skilled warrior. In fact, the word samurai means, "those who serve." This fits Ed perfectly since he was in charge of setting up customer service call centers all over the world and he is tirelessly committed to his workouts to meet his fitness goals. His favorite portrait was the one we created which showed his two sides - serious and mischievous. He always, (I mean always) has a smile on his face.

Please join me in sending congratulations to Ed Romson for achieving his fitness goals and representing the Anytime Fitness Pukalani gym community for all of us!

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!

Join us for a senior portrait photography experience to celebrate your graduate. We cannot wait to photograph you!

This is Ashley & Gracie

Ashley and her 4 year old pup, Gracie, are best buddies and running partners. They spend every moment on Maui they can together and support each other in good times and in challenging time. Happy go lucky, social, silly, Gracie is always ready for an adventure. One of the things that Ashley loves about Gracie is that she is incredibly sweet and helps her to focus on what is important. Seeing her giant ear to ear smile is also one of Ashley's favorite things about her fur baby. 

We scheduled a photo session on Maui with them when they were both at their best on one of their favorite beaches and had a great time capturing their relationship. The two of them are totally in sync just a couple. It's awesome! 

NOTE: This session was photographed before Maui's "Shelter in Place" order.
