Maui Lifestyle Photographers :: Aysha

Not too long ago we had the amazing opportunity to work with  local talent, Aysha Arcilla. 

I knew as soon as we started collaborating that this was going to be such a fun shoot! In addition to being an amazing singer and performer, we were convinced she had to be a model too (can you believe this is her first shoot ever!).

Just goes to show I ain't lying when I say I firmly believe every girl has an inner supermodel and deserves her rock star moment!

And speaking of star, keep your eyes out for this one.. she's currently in the running as a part of the Avon Voices Talent Search (Fergie's one of the judges. 'nuff said).

This is just part one of two fabulous shoots with her - check out the images below from her casual lifestyle shoot, and the other delicious shoot is going to be a live set shoot of this lady in her natural habitat (you'll have to wait for that one!)..

So keep checkin' back ('cuz we really like it when you hang around.. and I've almost convinced John into doing his very first blog post.)

Happy Almost Aloha Friday.

PS - Don't you significant others be forgetting that it's almost Valentine's Day (because no matter what we say, almost everyone wants overpriced flowers, of course.)

Admitting It Is the First Step.

Hello World Wide Web.

I'm so painfully aware of how long it's been since I've blogged - but I swear, I have good reasons (or at least I tell myself).

We're in the middle of a move - and I hate moving.

You never seem to recognize how many things you have until you have to pack each and every one of them.

Did I mention I hate moving?

As my Mom's favorite phrase goes "Time to Thin the Herd". 

(We'll also pretend I haven't been forcing John to help me refinish a massive amount of great vintage furniture.)

Oh yeah, I really don't like moving.

On the upside, we have been SO busy, and 2011 has been treating us fabulously.

I have SO many great things to share (and even more great things to come in the upcoming months) that I commit to keeping up on top of sharing all of the greatness (as long as we forget that I already boofed on my New Year's resolution of blogging more often, that is).

So, here's what we've been working on lately (with more to come!)..

More soon - have a fabulous Tuesday evening,

Maui Baby Photographer :: Little 'L' is 6 Months Old

Happy New Year All!
The soundwaves have been a little silent from our end, and while we have truly enjoyed our holiday (and hope you did too!), we are officially back in action!
We are so thrilled with what's to come in this new year, and have so much to continue sharing!
My favorite part about what we do, is the fact that we get to document some of the most important moments in people's lives.

And my favorite part about documenting a child's early moments in this world?

Earning the distinct pleasure of watching how much they change and grow throughout time.

You may recognize this little one, her cute tush graces our blog banner as well as our website.
We have been so honored to document her life since she was in Mama's belly, and now she's 6 months old.

Without further adieu, little Miss 'L'.

Keep an eye out for this heartbreaker! I have a feeling our 1 year shoot is going to be even more fab.

Can't decide if we like getting our bubbles on more than she did...

And my favorite shot of the session..

Hope you haven't cheated on your resolutions yet!

Happy Monday,

Bali Hale Estate Maui Wedding :: April + Rod

They call each other Woody and Penny (like Toy Story).

It was only later that we found out he didn’t know at the time that the character’s name was really Jessie – but Penny stuck, and so did they to eachother.

Last week we had the pleasure of spending time with April and Rod at one of my favorite estates, Bali Hale Estate. They got married in their hometown of Seattle, and since hadn’t celebrated the occasion beyond the ceremony.

They decided that there’s no better way to do it than Maui style, and we gotta say - we tend to agree.

The evening was sparked with laughter and reminiscence. They are such a magnetic couple (we couldn’t figure out who was having more fun shooting – them or us!) and being in their presence made me stop and take a moment to, again, appreciate how blessed we are to surround ourselves with such people for a living.
The celebration was just beautiful, and we had so much fun capturing all of the love and thought out details.

Oh how I love personalized cakes..

and Bullseye.

I had to end on this note.. because all great moments end with dessert =)

Congratulations you two, you deserve all of the best life has to offer!
