This is one of my favorite escapes to just get out of town and find a nice, little breezy seaside town booming with all kinds of coastal life & gorgeous scenery!! :) Check out the slides below...
There's nothing like bringing in the new year with some great outdoor photo shoots from the Beach to help bring summer on a little quicker! :) Go ahead and guess which set of these gorgeous, sunny portraits were taken only a month ago!!...........??
Okay, so here are a few examples of my style when it comes to photographing portraits. I like using natural backdrops provided by the outdoors and props that are found within the landscape. Of course it always helps when you live on the Island of Kauai and you have the most beautiful, pristine landscapes of mountains and beaches within your reach.
