You might of heard of a girl from Indiana named Jordan Lee Dooley who started a tiny little blog in her college sorority that turned into what is now the huge company called Soul Scripts. Jordan is a speaker, an author, a Christian blogger, and life encourager. I got the chance to photograph her and her husband Matt Dooley on the Napali Coastline of Kauai and what an adventure it was…

So, you know those friends you have who can always make you laugh- no matter what? That’s Nick and Brittany!! We spent the afternoon cavorting through Oahu’s pineapple fields without a care in the world, and these two lovebirds were naturals in front of the camera! Unposed, candid photos were second nature to this adventurous military couple, and their proposal story embodies their carefree attitude!

Sena and Eric are two kindred spirits who aren’t afraid of a challenge, whether it’s getting married after only 3 dates, raising an amazing family, or getting lost with me while roaming Oahu’s North Shore! They jumped into this photo shoot with the same passion for adventure that they have adopted into their fairytale lives. With lush, green mountains on one side and the iconic Waimea Bay on the other, this shoot was nothing but magical- just like Sena and Eric. Oh, and did I mention the chickens? See for yourself!!

When a fellow photographer and her creative hubby decide to jump on the other side of the lens and have their North Shore, Hawaii hiking adventure captured, you know the results are going to be breathtaking! With green rugged mountains and turquoise water as a backdrop, these two soulmates added another check to their travel adventure bucket list. Which one is your favorite?? I couldn’t choose just one!

Sadiya and Asim adventured with me to Makapu’u Lookout and Lanikai Beach on Oahu, Hawaii for a wild and intimate sunrise couple session. We started on the cliffside, wandered through the mountainside fields, and ended splashing in the ocean.

Wanna know what happens when you meet & photograph your business mentor & her hubby in Maui? Lots of inappropriate joking, VW van chilling, water playing, and life chatting. I photographed Drew and Jenna Kutcher in their second home of Maui, Hawaii and trust me when I say you’ve NEVER seen the Kutcher’s like this before….

Brandon & Amanda celebrated their anniversary with a trip to Hawaii. They wanted to read each other letters on top of a mountain as a vow renewal so we did just that.
