I love when soon to be mommas are down for an adventure!! Elizabeth and Jorge are expecting their first baby and wanted to celebrate with an adventure session. This is one of my favorite locations for an adventure style shoot that doesn’t involve much hiking. It was a beautiful evening, and the last photo is […]

Diane and Raymond met when they were in just the 5th grade! Their love story didn’t exactly begin then, but they reconnected through mutual friends after high school.  Raymond asked Diane out to the movies, and almost 8 years later they are getting ready to tie the knot! They are planning their destination wedding in […]

Tiffany and Henal are one of my 2020 wedding couples, and I can’t believe I have to wait that long to photograph them again! The minute I spoke with them on the phone I knew they were best friends, and it was so evident in person. Their La Jolla engagement session was full of so […]

Alyssa and Landon are always down for an adventure, so they knew that having Oahu engagement photos would be perfect for them! They were staying on the north shore which is my backyard, so I knew the perfect spot for them. We had an awesome winter swell for dramatic photos at one of my favorite […]

Originally, Ruby scheduled a couples portrait session with me while they were visiting Hawaii. It was supposed to be a “just because” photo session which happens a lot here. However, Matt had a plan of his own and he reached out to me separately to drop the news. He was proposing in Hawaii, and thought […]

I’ve known Katie for a while through mutual friends – she is so dang sweet! When she contacted me to take her maternity photos with TJ, I was so excited! It was my first time meeting TJ, and right away I could tell how much he adores Katie. We had a little north shore palm […]

Chad + Leila = non-stop giggles. Seriously, from the moment Chad got down on one knee and asked Leila to marry him, these two could not stop smiling and laughing together! Chad and Leila were traveling from Vancouver to Hawaii, and Chad knew it would be the perfect place to propose. The plan was to […]

Leah and Jaime are one of my Cali to Hawaii couples for 2019, and since I go back and forth between Hawaii and SoCal quite often, I was able to meet them in Laguna Beach for their engagement session! One of my favorite parts of the session was when I had them sit down and […]

Jess and Chris came to Hawaii to celebrate their 10th anniversary – woop woop!! Such a big milestone, and I love how excited Jess and Chris were to be in Hawaii together, and how excited they were for our fun portrait session! Cheers to 10 more years!   Chelsea Stratso is a couples portrait photographer, […]

Congrats to Darcie and Stu who just welcomed their new baby boy! I met these two while they were on their babymoon in Hawaii, and we had an awesome north shore portrait session. The lagoon at the beach is something that normally happens during the winter, but a nice summer swell brought in some extra […]
