Elvrom Family at DT Fleming Beach

I'm so excited to share the Elvrom's family portraits on the blog today! Inga & Juan were married at DT Fleming beach in west Maui 1 year ago. To celebrate their first anniversary they returned to their beach with their beautiful 1 year old daughter, Grace. I love the pine trees at this beach - especially in the morning as the sunshine pours through and turns everything a glowy golden yellow. 

*As you may have noticed, I've hardly been blogging at all during this very sunny month of December. I've basically been treating myself to a month off of social media. It's delightful to unplug and just focus on photos and beach walks. I've been doing my portfolio building practice family shoots each weekend - usually early on Sunday mornings. It's been a lot of extra work but I always enjoy the challenge and I need all the practice I can get. It's nice to have some pressure-free photo shoots that let me experiment with the Hawaii sunshine and invent new fun poses. But despite my month-off of blogging, I just couldn't resist jumping online to publish a super cute family portrait session that I photographed last weekend. Inga was referred to me by her friend Toni whose family I photographed the week before! {You can see Toni's family pictures here.} And now, after much ado, I give you....the Elvrom family! Thank you so so much Inga, Juan & Grace for a fun photo shoot! You are an adorable trio and I'm so happy to have met you!

Sadler Family Portraits at Sugar Beach in Kihei Maui

I'm so excited to share the still images from my second family mini-movie portrait session in Maui! Toni contacted me after she saw my advertisement for families on Craigslist. We met at the Kealia Coastal Boardwalk, played on the beach and finished with a big splash. While we were taking photos, Toni and Isaiah told me about their love story. They've known each other since they were in 5th grade! They finally started dating in college and they moved to Maui a year and a half ago. Then along came little Miss. Rosalyn! She was so sweet throughout our entire shoot, only crying once because she couldn't live another moment without a Triscuit. haha I'm still editing their 32GB of video footage together (hopefully it will be completed in about 2 weeks!) I can't wait to see the final product. For now, you can enjoy their pretty still photographs that we took at Sugar Beach in north Kihei. :D 

 

Thank you so much again Sadler family for asking me to take your family portraits! You're adorable and lovely and it was wonderful to photograph you. You'll be hearing from me again soon with lots more prettiness in motion! :D
