Handmade Holiday 2011

The Handmade Holiday 2011 event at the Baby Awearness store in Manoa Marketplace was filled with incredible vendors with amazing handmade crafts. The weather was uncooperative on this day which made this outdoor event challenging not only to photograph but also for the vendors as they did their best at keeping their product from being blown away. The turnout was huge and so was the success of the day. These photos taken during the Christmas season of 2012 show some of the groovy vendors and their handmade art.

Roaming the Streets

This darling couple was such a pleasure to photograph. Roaming through the streets, we found nooks and crannies here and there and we just began to shoot. They were so comfortable in front of the lens, I thought that they had modeled before but they said that this was a first and they didn't have very many pictures of the two of them together prior to this shoot. Obviously they were naturals. They were happy with the photos and also grateful for the experience of being in front of a camera. I must say that I am grateful as well to have been able to put these photos and many more for them on this very fun and unique shoot.

The Cherry Blossom Cabaret

ahe Cherry Blossom Cabaret were stunning and amazing dressed up in their vibrant costumes. These wicked vixens were at their best at the Contemporary Museum Art Spree! Mahalo CBC for a few photo-forward shots that made my week!

Uncle Clay's House of Pure Aloha

"HOPA" (hope.pah)! House of Pure Aloha
I was invited to photograph the soft opening last weekend for Uncle Clay's Hawaiian Treat Shop. It is newly remodeled in the Aina Haina Shopping Center and the official relaunch date is this coming Saturday on June 18th 2011. Stop by and try out their awesome variety of naturally flavored shaved ice.
When you see owners Uncle Clay or Bronson be sure to give them a giant greeting, "HOPA"!
