Senior Portraits: Clayton

A few weeks back, we had the pleasure of working with our nephew Clay for his senior portrait session. Working with family always guarantees fun and adventure!

I had the pleasure of seeing someone who was once a young boy flourish into the young man that stood in front of my lens. Seeing Clay grow over the years really flips the retrospect switch. I used to hear him talk about WWE and COD, and now its all about Toyota 4Runners and fishing. It was truly a blessing watching him grow up the past few years. Can’t wait to see what the future holds for you, and remember that family is always gonna have your back! Congrats Clay!

Here’s a look into our session that took us to a few different spots. We battled rain, mud, wind, and crazies haha. Enjoy!

Keiki Of The Future: Westside Striking

They say children are the future. This couldn’t be any more true. The keiki of today are the future leaders of tomorrow. They will be the ones leading us in due time. This pertains to everything, including combat sports.

I had the pleasure of getting some portraits done with some of the keiki of an awesome and humble group that is Westside Striking. As the name implies, we ventured out West to Waianae. Now any negative stereotypes you may have or may have heard, try to tune them out. Not everything you heard is 100% true all the time. Sometimes, some unfortunate things happen. A couple of bad apples should ruin your opinion of the whole tree. In fact, some of the kindest people I know are in Waianae. Some were even born and raised there. Just remember, don’t mistake ANYONE’S Aloha for weakness ;)

I was able to work with some of the members of the team. It’s hard to believe this was hardly a fraction of the whole team. It was a fun session, and hopefully won’t be the last with this awesome and humble group. Take a quick look and enjoy! Thanks again to the coaches, kids, and parents for having us there!
