It’s not too often that you find friends so wonderful that they fly from O’ahu to Maui to spend four days with you in paradise and to have their family photos taken only by you. From the first time I met Beth, I instantly loved her. Not only could she make me laugh until I cried, told the best stories I had ever heard, and shared so many life parallels that I just couldn’t believe it, she just embodied everything that a great friend should be. We became fast friends, as she does with almost anyone she meets, and I fell in love with her family, too! I was there when sweet, Olive was born and had the privilege to photograph the whole family from those first sweet moments when she entered this world. I’ve been able to watch their beautiful, little family grow and have seen first hand what wonderful parents Beth and Mark are. And to have this time with all three of them while in Maui was so incredibly special to me. I’m so so SO happy to share these portraits. Not only because they were photographed in one of the most beautiful places on the planet, but because they were taken of the most beautiful people!

This is how you bribe a 4 year old to take pictures! Chocolate!!!!
