We love our repeat clients! I was so excited when Zoie's mom reached out to us again to ask us to capture her  daughter's senior portraits in Wailea. We decided on a morning session in Makena on the beach which provided stunning backgrounds and a sense of place on Zoie's favorite island of Maui. They are regular visitors to Hawaii from California and they love discovering new scenic locations. 

We had photographed Zoie's brother's high school senior portraits a couple of years ago and were honored to be invited to photograph his sister. Zoie is exactly what her Greek name means, LIFE.

She is incredibly smart and absolutely gorgeous inside and out, radiating with energy. Studying to become a successful businesswomen, I know she is destined for greatness.

We are so proud of you for all of your achievements and can't wait to see the difference you make in the world. Congratulations Zoie!

Hudson is a golfer. It is what he absolutely loves to do whenever he has the chance. When his mom hired us to create his senior portraits on Maui, that was one of the first things she asked us to capture. We were granted permission from his favorite golf course in Kihei and set a date to photograph him in his element. We scheduled a second photo session at one of Maui's beautiful beaches so we could create some Maui senior portraits of him with his beautiful Koa wood guitar.

Hudson is just incredible. To me, he is the sort of son, student and client that we would all love to have. He is a top student as well as a musician and athlete, so it is always impressive to me when a teenager is able to juggle that many things successfully, always with a smile. He is a member of the Class of 2020 from Maui's Seabury Hall. He is off to Oregon State University (OSU) for college in the honors program and we are thrilled for him! We know when he comes back to visit the island his parents will be happy to showcase the wallpaper of him they hung all over the house in his absence featuring his senior portraits. They call it the "Hudson Shrine". Haha!

CONGRATULATIONS to Class of 2020 member, Hudson Jackson! We are so proud of you and look forward to seeing what you do in the future. Mahalo for inviting us to capture your senior year!

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!

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!

Meet another member of the Class of 2020 - Makenna!

Mercurial Makenna joined us for her senior portraits on Maui and we actually did her session close to her namesake, Makena Maui Hawaii. Talk about smart! This young woman has dimples (my favorites!) with a great sense of humor and  is going to be a rocket scientist, I swear! She has a clever wit and is incredibly intelligent with professional goals for days. She just blew me away with her impressive academic accomplishments and we know she will be successful! I wish I had the focus, drive and tenacity that she exhibits at such a young age.

To Makenna and 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 Makenna!
