Valentine’s day was gorgeous! The sun came out, finally, after the last few days hiding behind ominous clouds and those always, oh so frequent, rain showers. The nearby mountains had a fresh blanket of snow, and a crispness to the air, made it a great day to hang out in old town Pasadena. So Saturday, I had the privilege to meet a great couple for some very fun valentine’s day portraits. Jay and Heather had hired me to cover their Wedding next month in Maui, and when we got to talking our schedules worked out for a portrait session in Southern California.
Through the old streets and alley ways, to the parks and restaurants, we had a fun time getting to know one another. Here are some of my favorites from the afternoon.
Jay and Heather, enjoy the sneak peek of your photos, really excited to see you two in Maui soon!
Aloha,
Mike

I feel like I fell off the blogosphere in the last few months. I literally have been traveling and shooting since early December starting with Mike Colon’s Hawaii Intensive. Then it was off to Asia for some photo work, and rounding out 2008 by meeting up with my wife in Thailand for a mini vacation. Last week I made it back to Maui, and directly jumped into a big 5 day event for a private client, and topped the week off with a Annual Report shoot for a commercial client.
Waking up after my flight to California, this is what I woke up to! I am here in San Francisco, where I will be shooting some portrait sessions for some wedding clients. Then off to Lake Tahoe for another round of shoots. Finally ending up in Sunny LA, for the last of the client portraits, before my final stop in Las Vegas for the annual WPPI show where it's off to network with photographers, hang with industry folk, and learn a few tricks from some of the best in the business along the way.
Thanks for hanging in there, and Aloha from the sunshine state.
Mike

Recap of Day 1, so much great information that my head feels swollen! No joke, Mike workshop is the most info loaded of the workshops I have attended over the past few years. We also have great shooting environments to practice what we are learning. The picture here was from the photo shoot on Front St. in Lahaina.

When it comes to family portraits, I really am blessed to work with such great families, especially the ones who are relaxed and enjoy having some fun! I seem to get that over at the Fairmont Kea Lani Resort, great families and genuine smiles.

The last week just flew by... Sorry for the lack of posting.
Summer in Maui is finally here! Lots of Weddings, Family shoots, Good Surf, Kids Portraits and summer BBQ's. Later today I am heading over to the Sheraton Maui Resort, for the Wedding of Lisa and Kevin. I am excited because Lisa and Kevin are a really nice couple, and their families are great. Should be a good time for everyone.

What a stud, only 7 days old and already featured on the web! Congrats to Lasha and Billy for their new baby boy, Nautis. I shot these photos for his mom so she could share images with family and friends who can't be out here in Maui to see him. It was so fun just hanging out with him today. He is a really good baby! He just hung out outside soaking up the Maui sun.
Thanks again Lasha for letting me come over and spend some time with you two. I hope you enjoy the images.
