Brazilian Bikini Show at Maddog's

This Brazilian bikini fashion show was hosted at Maddog's to bring a strong start to the holiday weekend. Held on Thursday May 24th, the place was packed!! As the girls got ready to come out, it really filled in... Everyone wanted a glimpse of these awesome bikinis!!

Shades

Shooting a new friend! These were intended as experiments to play with the new lights, but I liked them so much I decided to post them. There aren't too many males on my blog, so I think he is a nice addition :-)
Thank you, Daniel, for your lighting suggestions!

Beach Candy

Bethany and I started planning this shoot in January. After much debate about the wardrobe, we finally set a date. Lucky us, my new lighting equipment came the night before this shoot! So it is far more epic than it would have been. This is some of my best work, and it's only just begun. I am so blessed to have the chance to work with Bethany as model and J.p. as makeup artist. Along for the ride was Bethany's boyfriend, Austin, to help me with lighting (since we were shooting on rocks).

Wardrobe provided by Bethany. Makeup and hair by J.p. La Fortune.

Tony & Amy's Vow Renewal

This adorable family lives in Alaska and came to Hawaii for vacation and one other special event: to renew their vows. A small, beautiful ceremony on the beach meant worlds to these two; it was the start of new beginnings in their marriage. Although their baby girl did not want to put her feet in the sand, we got some smiles out of her as well ;-)

Meredith - B&W

A lovely shoot with a lovely woman. Meredith has this classy style that is conveyed in how she carries herself, but don't let that fool you. She is extremely goofy and much fun to work with! Her personality just shines in these images :-)

DesignU Big Hair Show

DesignU's Big Hair Fashion Show, held on April 20th, was one of the best shows I've seen! The creativity from all the designers was stunning; they worked very hard to transform these ladies into works of art. I wish I knew who all the designers and creative minds were behind these concepts, so I could list them. I included the ones I knew for sure.
