Paradise Found | North Shore, maui

 

Haiku is one of my favorite places in Maui. It's a tropical jungle, and an oasis for many artists, celebrities, and professional surfers. Lush fruit and exotic flowers that smell equally delicious surround you. I could not have thought of a better location for my recent fashion shoot called Paradise Found. Thank you to my amazing team and the lovely Patti Pottorff owner of Biasa Rose for the gorgeous clothing and accessories for my shoot. Be on the look out for more photos of this shoot that will be featured in Vortex Magazine!

Rainbows & Sunshine Maternity Portraits | Ulupalakua, Maui

When Angelina first approached me to take her maternity photos I was thrilled and honored. I've worked with Angelina quite a few times on various photo shoots doing hair and makeup. She is an amazing photographer that I have always admired. Some of my favorite photos in my makeup portfolio are shot from her.
I had so much fun getting to spend time with Angelina and her husband Vetea while photographing them anticipating the arrival of their baby girl Alani. Alani means orange in the Hawaiian language. What was so incredible was that before Alani's arrival the name that they chose for their baby girl was kept a secret. And when Angelina asked me to pick up a bouquet of roses for the photo shoot I chose orange sherbert colored roses! A tiny representation of Alani Rose's arrival (=
Angelina loves dreamy light and rainbows are her favorite, so I wanted to incorporate that in her maternity shoot. The results were heavenly don't you think?
