CLICK HERE to see my brother’s family in action during a special California portrait session. On our recent summer trip, Julia and I were lucky enough to spend an entire week at the other Sanderl compound with my brother, his wife and their two beautiful girls. With a new baby boy on the way, they were happy to let us document this special time in their lives. From their neighborhood parks to Shaver Lake, we couldn’t stop taking photos! We even had a little time after dinner to makeshift a garage studio and sneak in a quick pregnancy session. Much love to the Sanderl gang and hope you enjoy the gallery.

The Vogt Family Portrait Adventure

CLICK HERE to see our online gallery of the Vogt’s family photo session from Ke’e Beach on Kauai’s North Shore. This family was ready for some exploration as we faced the natural elements of a jungle walk to the beach with frequent squalls of wind and rain throughout the portrait session. We had a great time sharing stories as the five of us ducked for cover under a single umbrella while we waited for the skies to clear. Waiting out the weather payed off with dramatic views of the Napali coast and a colorful sunset that finished off the session beautifully. We were so happy to have met and worked with the Vogt family. Their patience and openness to adventure made this a memorable photo session in a challenging location. Much aloha and enjoy the photos!

CLICK HERE to view this awesome family photo session! The Bailey family really knows how to do it right when it comes to vacation getaways. They were up for anything during our beach-hopping family photo session all over Poipu on Kauai’s South Shore. We could really get creative with this fun-loving family and had a great time hunting for that perfect shot. From hiking up Shiprwreck’s Rock to getting all sandy on the beach, the Baileys had no trouble smiling perfectly for the cameras. Aloha, come back soon and happy travels home!

CLICK HERE to view our recent ohana photo shoot with the Dobbins family. These guys were incredibly photogenic in front of the stunning backdrops at Kealia Kai on Kauai’s Eastside. As the sun was setting, Julia and I took full advantage of that gorgeous evening light. Like always, our only trouble was knowing when to stop shooting… Happy holidays!

CLICK HERE to peek into an intimate celebration of lasting love. Jennifer and Tony marked 10 years of marriage with a vow renewal ceremony on the beautiful beach at Hanalei Bay. Julia and I had a blast getting creative while we photographed these two playing on the beach, kissing in the lifeguard stand and sneaking a passionate moment as the sun went down. Good thing their kids stayed home for this one! Congrats on finding your soul mate and enjoy the photos.

Here’s a little peak into our romantic maternity photo session with Trina and Juan… sorry everyone, but this one stays private! We started out by setting up our traveling studio lights at their house for an intimate portrayal of pre-motherhood. After getting some stunning shots indoors, we finished off their photo session at a local park for a more casual approach to the natural beauty that Trina and Juan share in their journey into parenthood together. Best wishes!
