Meet the Brownleys!

They might be one of the coolest couples, seriously!  They are amazing friends to Mr. Husband and I. They were here for a wedding and stayed a couple nights with us. Of course we had to do a photo shoot with them, although all the boys could think about was surfing.  Husband was the worst!

more to come.

I was asked to take Jim Russi’s profile picture for his article in FLUX Hawaii. I was honored to be working with him, what a legend. He has worked with some of the biggest names in surfing.  Here is a picture of him in his beach house.   My favorite thing about Jim is his willingness to share his knowledge in photography and life lessons.  I had a blast shooting him and laughing with his two cute boys.

So I was asked to help out with a new magazine here in Hawaii called Flux Hawaii.  It an amazing magazine, stunning photos, great writers, and just what Hawaii needs.  Check them out! FLUX Hawaii. Here is my picture on the contributor page.  What do you think? I will post a couple of the pictures from the magazine in the next couple of days.

The picture with the apple is one of my husbands favorite picture of me.   David Muller took it of me.  I think its totally fun and different.

Okay I have been a horrible blogger. I am sorry, I promise I will have lots of pretty pictures up for you to see.  It has been a whirlwind week needless to say. Oh I have been shooting some film. Can’t wait till I get it back.

More details to come on this amazing shoot.

Mike Larson had a workshop here in Hawaii. I was lucky enough to go!  It was a blast learning from him!  Mike is all about the business, but doing the business right! He had great pointers and tips to help grow our business.  Thank you Mike for sharing with us, and letting us learn from your mistakes!

Mike rented out Jim Russi‘s vacation rental on the North Shore, so all the photographers were able to stay together and learn.  Jim is also an amazing surf photographer.

One of the best parts was meeting other photographers. Seeing their passion and love for the art is always exciting! Brent Bielmann was one of our models, he is also a photographer. Check out his stuff.

Your 18, leaving home to start a new journey, new friends and new adventures.  You are going to College! What a time in life!  Steve was one of those new friends. I met Steve and his friends the first week of school, I would have never guessed that 10 years later I would be taking pictures of him and his beautiful wife.

Steve, thanks for the many years of friendship.  You are one of those stand up guys, loyal to your friends, strong in the Lord and most importantly madly and deeply in love with your wife.  Thanks for letting me take your pictures!
