The Customer Is Always Right...

These are a couple samples from a bridal session at Shipwreck Beach in Poipu. I typically try to avoid shooting there, because it is usually full of people getting married and doing exactly this type of shoot. After discussing locations with the couple that booked this shoot, it was clear that they really wanted to shoot here. 

I AM GLAD THEY DID! Katherine was such a beautiful bride, and the dress/ accoutrements went perfectly with the setting. We had great skies, great light, and it was nothing but a super positive experience!

As a side note, this is a great example of how to correctly choose and apply your make up for a shoot. Powder-based works best when the goal is to get shots like this with more dramatic lighting.

Theo's Daily Portrait: Serious Water Activity

It's typically not that difficult to get Theo to smile... unless of course he is playing. Playing for Theo is not always smiley and giggly fun; more often than not it seems for him, playing is nothing more than a means to an end (the end being finally figuring out what he is playing with and how it works). While is trying figure out how it all comes together, if you distract him, he will shoot you the iciest stares known to mankind... no smiles for you. His focus today was trying to figure out how to successfully pick up the stream of water coming out of the hose. And yes, I interrupted that.

Theo's Daily Portrait: Distraction Props

Every time I take Theo's portrait in front of the house, he gets more interested in the palms behind him than the lens in front of him. As a result, I get a ton of shots of the back of his head... This time I gave him a book as a distraction from his normal distraction. Worked like a charm!
