A Lazy Afternoon on the North Shore | AKA: I got a new camera!

I am dipping my toes in the mirrorless camera game… and maybe breaking up with Nikon? I decided to go with the Canon R6 because I’ve always loved Canon’s creamy colors. I was scared, but decided to make a small investment and see how it goes. We were heading up to the North Shore so I decided to bring the new camera + a 50mm prime lens along. First off, I can actually bring the camera with me without feeling like I’m lugging a ton of bricks! I am very encouraged and can see myself jumping fulling in by the end of the year.

My last family for 2021! The family gathered to celebrate the arrival of their fist grandchild and to spend Christmas together.

This little girl crushed her newborn session. She only woke up because I had taken a million pictures and it was time for her to go home. Lanikai is also the most stunning location for newborn photos.

A Hui Hou, Hawaii | Oahu, Hawaii Family Session

I am so glad we could fit in this farewell to Hawaii session! We had to reschedule which only left a few hours with us both on island. Unfortunately, it was right after this family finished packing. It was an early morning during a stressful time, but mom was so happy to have these pictures. In Hawaii, we say, “a hui hou” which translates to “until we meet again”.

I always worry a little when a client books me again after a “unicorn” session. You know, the one where the weather is perfection, the kids are happy and engaged and the pictures turn out amazing. This year’s session was another hit success! Well, there was a moment when a bee sting almost stopped us in our tracks. After a few tears and a hug from mom, we were back in action.

I've never seen a baby so into taking pictures. He always knew where the camera was and was full of smiles!
