Leilani, Maui Portrait Photography, Maui Family Portrait Photography, Maui Senior Portrait Photography




Leilani is my adventerous model. She is quiet, sweet and interested in other people and experiences. She is headed to Alaska after graduation. I told you she was adventerous. She is a Polynesian Girl, but she likes the cold, so she is transplanting herself to the coldest place she can find. I had the best time on our photo shoot. We went exploring the Heritage Gardens at Iao Valley and discovered it is the best place on the island for taking portraits.

Alicia, Maui Portrait Photography, Maui Family Portrait Photography, Maui Senior Portrait Photography, LDS Missionary Portrait Photography

Alicia will soon be serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She is the loveliest, sweetest person. I love the outfit she wore for the photo shoot. It looks magnificent against the backdrop of North Maluaka Beach and and makes her look regal, which she is. She is a loving daughter of her Heavenly Father and will spend the next two years serving him well. She loves the cultures of the islands and wants to study them more and share them with others upon her return to the islands, after she has completed her mission. Don't you think she is a lovely ambassador for the friendly islands of Tonga?

The Allosado family joined me for a photo shoot at Keawekapu Beach.  This family is very special to me.  I took their engagement portraits and have known them since they first fell in love.  Now they have a growing family of the cutest children anyone ever did see!!  Don't you agree?

Yvonne, Maui Portrait Photography, Maui Family Portrait Photography, Maui Senior Portrait Photography

Meet Yvonne, my newest model. Yvonne is a stunning beauty, but she is also very talented, smart and athletic. She is well respected among her peers and strives hard to set a good example for friends, her family and everyone who knows her. We selected clothing that would try to represent both sides of her culture for this photo shoot, as she is both Hawaiian and Tongan. She will be headed off to college in the fall to study communication. I predict only great things for her future.
 
If you would like to book your Vintage Hawaiian Portrait shoot in Maui, please contact me at (808) 357-2789.  Clothing of various sizes is available on loan and your shoot can be styled for you.
 





 

Lana, Maui Portrait Photography, Maui Family Portrait Photography, Maui Senior Portrait Photography, LDS Missionary Portrait Photography

Meet Lana.  She is doing some portraits for me for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints media library. Lana has been in my life since she was five years old and I find that she has grown into an amazing young lady of great beauty. both inside and outside. She hopes to serve a mission soon for the church and she will do a wonderful job. I plan to keep her busy until she leaves creating images that showcase the things about our religion that she and I both cherish and hold dear to our hearts.
 



 

Selestina, Maui Portrait Photography, Maui Family Portrait Photography, Maui Senior Portrait Photography

Selestina is my youngest model. I have known her for awhile now, because I am good friends with her family. She has always impressed me, first with her thoughtful, outgoing nature; and then secondly, with her beauty. She truly exemplifies the word aloha. I always receive a hug and a kiss on the cheek from Seles, whenever she sees me. She asks about me if she sees my family members and I am not there. She is this way with everyone and it is just second nature to her. She is adored by her family and her friends and is a beloved child in this community. Seles has more modeling instincts in her tiny pinky than most people have in their whole body, so she has a very bright, bright future in this industry. I'm very lucky and blessed to be allowed to photograph her and add some of her stunning images to my portfolio.
