read moreAs we begin to wrap up the year 2011, I wanted to share some of my favorite beauty products this year. They are all products I use on myself and some of them have also made their way into my professional kit. I initally wanted to do an all inclusive top 10 list, but it was so hard to narrow down my list!! So here it is, my Top 5 Makeup, Hair and Skin products of 2011. What are some of your favorites this year? 1. YSL Touche Eclat: this award-winning highlighting concealer makes dark circles, fine lines and signs of fatigue virtually disappear so you look rested and refreshed—even if you’ve been up for hours. 2. Makeup Forever Aqua Eyes: A highly pigmented, waterproof liner pencil that glides on like butta! The black is SUPER black! 3.Benefit Brow Zing: The kit
read moreOur bride Katie from Alaska, hands down, has the BEST story of how she met her husband! They intially met when they were in Jr. High on a military base in Germany. They didn’t exactly get along and then soon parted ways. Fast forward to a few years ago. They reconnect on Facebook and sparks started to fly. She moved to Oregon so they could be together then they came to Hawaii to get married. The cherry on top of this story; the same thing happened for her mother!! Our team absolutely loved working with Katie and her family! Everyone was so fun and relaxed, especially the bride! We wish her a happily ever after! Check out the amazing and kind review she left for us here. Location: Lanikai/ Private Estate Photographer: Laura Fleming Photography

My next shoot in the Beauty Project series was with Model Amber. She had the most beautiful Honey colored eyes! Not brown, not hazel, but HONEY. I was super stoked for our shoot because on the same day I got my new 50mm lens in the mail! Still getting used to it, but I can see why it gets such good reviews. When I saw the first photo, I knew EXACTLY how I wanted to process it.

Since its been a while since I’ve updated my portfolio and I have a few mellow weeks on my hands, I decided to take advantage of this time and do a little fun Beauty Project of looks that are popular with my clients to add to my book. I’m no photographer, but I don’t suck at it either (well at least in my head) so I thought it would be fun to tackle the hair, makeup AND photography. Hopefully I’ll be able to do a few of these shoots a month on an on going bases, at least until Wedding Season is in full swing again. For the first shoot, I got to work with sweetest, most gorgeous model, Monique. I had the opportunity to work with her a few years ago on an editorial shoot and couldn’t believe it

From mothers to bridesmaids and especially brides; everyone wants to look their best at a wedding. However, hair and makeup somehow always seems to be a detail that falls low on the priority list when planning a wedding. Long after the cake has been eaten and the flowers have wilted, your pictures will remain. Sure your friend has a bag full of MAC makeup, but does she know anything about camera lighting? Does she know how to makeup your face last 12+ hours through scorching humidity? Sure your auntie can use a curling iron, but does she know how to make your curls last until the final guest leaves? These are reasons I highly recommend hiring a pro. And I’m not taking about some caboodle girl off of Craigslist. As Wedding Season is in full swing, I thought I would

Yesterday I had the awesome privilege of shooting at Sunset Ranch on the beautiful North Shore of Oahu with photographer and friend, Marina Miller of RedHeartPhoto.com. I couldn’t help myself from taking some behind the scenes photos and some shots of my own of our gorgeous model, Yvonne! The stunning floral creations were by floral & event designer, Shilhi of PassionRoots.com. My non-photographer-self-photos don’t do this shoot justice! Cant wait to see the real goods that Marina captured! Along for the ride were Miss Lola and the infamous Chunk! I can’t believe how close baby girl was to the herd of horses! She’s usually really into animals, but yesterday she was more interested in her foot. So lets recap, we’ve got a Ranch, horses, a gorgeous model, and babies! That’s a winning recipe. Enjoy!
