2012 is here....oh the things we will do....Civil Unions come to Hawaii

A new year, a new chance for equality in our country. While there is still a big battle ahead to bring FULL MARRIAGE EQUALITY to all citizens in the United States, 2012 brought a new Civil Unions law to Hawaii, allowing Same Sex couples to enter into a union that will give them the ability to gain legal rights generally reserved to Hetero couples. It's not perfect, but it's a start. I can't wait for the day when a WEDDING IS A WEDDING!!! In the meantime, please visit www.equalityhawaii.org for more information about the laws in Hawaii and to support the cause. And if you want to come to Hawaii to have YOUR ceremony or Wedding, please contact me, I can help!!!

PEACHES AND THE PINEAPPLE, WAIKIKI 
Two beautiful ladies, a gorgeous day, and wonderful friends helped create a spur of the moment lovely ceremony on Waikiki Beach (shhhhh don't tell anyone, it's TECHNICALLY not allowed!)





Every wedding should have hunky bridesmaids like these!!! (well, maybe not EVERY wedding....)

 

 For some reason, LOVE was in the air, and it was INFECTIOUS!!! I didn't even notice the background action in the second photo until after I started editing!
 SPECIAL THANKS TO: HULA'S BAR AND LEI STAND http://www.hulas.com for the reception location and support of the happy couple; STEVE BARNES, Officiant and ringleader; MICHAEL MIYASHIRO, flowers, leis and arrangements, www.rainforesthawaii.com.

 Heather and Thomas  met while working at a salon together. They wanted to create a fun announcement for their wedding to send out to friends and family, so I told them to call it a "Shave the Date" card. Sheer genuis, if you ask me.               Many thanks to Heather and Thomas, my assistant Shelley Simpson, Mojo Barbershop, and Let Them Eat Cupcakes for this fun day. cupcakes, salon, shave, barber, hair, barber salon, mojo, mojo barbershop, honolulu, hawaii, engagement shoot, save the date, legs, pinup, barberchair, portraits, retro, rockabilly

  FAMILY PHOTOS IN THE TIME OF QUARANTINE  Creating a Successful Family Photo Session on Oahu in 2020   During this unique and challenging time of pandemic, quarantine, lock-down and general uncertainty, there are still ways to achieve a little bit of normalcy for your Family Photo Session on Oahu. I am dedicated to helping my clients maintain their yearly Family Photo tradition while following pandemic guidelines and protocols. Here’s the three most important things to create a successful Family Photo Session on Oahu in 2020. First, we select a legal and open location on Oahu. Sometimes this involves an “outside of the box” idea for a setting. Perhaps it’s not the usual beach or outdoor location, but instead a deserted downtown street area or urban setting with cool graffiti walls. Other ideas may include a private estate (I have a few of these up my sleeve) with a mountain or farm backdrop, a family’s backyard, a waterfall area, or an off-road adventure close by.
