Hello All!
It’s been a while! Busy as usual but so glad we were able to drop in and post about a recent session.
We were able to work with Kawai on her senior portrait session. We had a fun time, and it was quite a contrast working with her because up until this point, we did sessions with her brother Suggy for his fighter portraits. Nonetheless, we had a fun time and loved working with her. Have a quick look at our session & enjoy!
Hey All!
Most recently, we got wind of our friends from HiBred House would also be taking part in the WAKO tournament coming up this month. So off to the Eastside we went! We ended up doing some portraits of them as they prepped for their upcoming competition. The fighters competing consist of Alfonzo Martinez, Tristan Futa, Scott Higashi, Webster Aluli, Nakoa Fujimura, Nate Yoshimura, and Ikaika Barboza. We even had Canaan Kawaihae appear for a cameo! Hibred House will be going up with Westside Striking to compete and hopefully put Hawaii on the map once again for combat sports. Have a look at our session and enjoy!

What’s up all!
We recently had a chance to work with our friends at Westside Striking again. This month they are taking a team of hopefuls to the WAKO Team USA Kickboxing National Championships in Nashville, Tennessee. Representing Westside Striking: Taz Kaleiopu, Joven Lopez, JJ Morales, Sefo Manuel, Quincy Manuel, Isaac Martinez, Christian Tajiri, and Brandon Abiva. We got to take get some portrait work in with them, with a little action on the side. We were unable to photograph Christian Tajiri and Brandon Abiva this time around, but hopefully next time around we will get the chance. Fun fact: Christian and Brandon actually fought each other a few years ago! Even though we didn’t get to work with them this time around, enjoy a little throwback of their fight. Have a look at our session with Westside Striking and enjoy!

It’s senior portrait season! Well kind of heh. We kicked off this season on the island of Maui. Our nephew Dylan is graduating this year, so we worked with him for his senior portrait session. We visited a few beautiful spots on Maui, which took a tiny bit of driving (which really was a lot lol), some hiking, and rain dodging. Nothing like a little family bonding (aka partially getting lost) while on our commute haha. All in all, it was a fun day with fun people! Have a quick look at our session and enjoy!
We had the pleasure of working with Tricia and Brandon for this session. They came as a referral from their family members: Kekai & Bronson. Brandon is actually Bronson’s older brother, so we were ecstatic when we were asked to work with them!
Have a quick look into our session and enjoy!
Hello All!
As the state slowly opened up and restrictions were eased, we slowly were able to get back to shooting with our clients :)
Our very first session back gave us the pleasure of working with Kekai and Bronson. You may remember them from our engagement session with them a while back. Seeing Kekai holding Brixon in her tummy was so cute! This was their maternity session with us after all. The funny thing is, we weren’t sure if a session was even possible. Luckily once the state eased up a bit on their restrictions and closures, we were able to get their session in. Crazy thing is… Brixon was born not too long after! This session was a surprise from Kai to the world, just as Brixon decided to make his own surprise and enter the world earlier than expected! Now that he is here, here is a look into our session! Welcome to the world Brixon Kepa! Enjoy all!
