N&E | Couple

This afternoon I shot some couples portraits with Taneka & Erik on the Leeward side.  Thankfully, it did not rain.  The lighting was great and the gray clouds actually complimented the location.  Even as I sit here editing the photos, I find myself smiling and giggling as I go through them.  They have got to be one of the cutest couples ever.  You can tell how comfortable they are together, as they have been dating for 4 years.  If any part of them felt uncomfortable during the shoot, you could not tell on camera.  The camera especially loved Taneka.  She is one of the most photogenic people I've ever had the pleasure of doing photos for.  I think her natural ability to photograph well was only intensified by her chemistry with Erik.  Another thing that made my job easier, was they posed themselves so well without any direction from me.  Surprisingly, this was the first time they've ever done a professional photo shoot.  I would definitely love to work with them again some day.  Here are some of my favorite pictures from the shoot:

I had fun yesterday with Lauren, Shawn and Evan on our photo shoot in Kane'ohe.  Although Evan was shy at first, we still got some great shots of him.  We will be finishing the second half of our shoot on Sunday, which are strictly "mommy and me" photos.  So we tried to get in as much "daddy and me" ones in as we could during this session.  A couple things that defined our little adventure on the windward side were being chased by hungry ducks and running into two lost hunting dogs.  Definitely a memorable day!  Here are some of the photos:



M&J | Couple

Two weeks ago I had the pleasure of doing some couples portraits for one of my best friends, Melody, & her fiance Joel.  We went to a couple locations; Kapolei and Waialua.  Here are some of my favorite photos from the session:


K&J | Family

I had the lovely opportunity of doing some family portraits yesterday with Kristin and Jonah's adorable family.  It was a beautiful day in Kane'ohe and a great day for some photos.  Their three little boys were naturals and each of their personalities were captured during our session.  Here are some of my favorite photos:
