Pacific Northwest + September-November 2009


K'Aloha Photography has been on a brief hiatus. My husband and I have been getting our feet wet (literally and figuratively) in our new home! :) I am looking forward to Doug & Daysha's engagement shoot tomorrow. :) Stay tuned for what looks to be a promising session.

A glimpse at the Pacific Northwest:My husband and I celebrated our 2 year engagement anniversary on the 9th of this month. Here are a few of my favorite shots of my ring and our rings :):


For all future clients, we have found some WONDERFUL and romantic spots (that don't hurt the wallet). I hope to share some of these in our future meetings!
This final one of actually a pretty personal one. My mom came up to visit, and we had a little bit of fun with the tractors in the vineyards!

Mike & Briana + Guest Book

This October Mike and Briana will wed in San Diego, California! This is a little snipet of their guestbook! Mike and Bri, I know you will have a lifetime of happiness together. I am blessed to know you!

For the Bride

I have been meaning to post this for a while. Since the move, I haven't had all of the time I would have originally liked to get out and play, but last night, I finally set time aside to just PLAY. I took some pictures from some of my old shoots and worked to make them just a little bit more dramatic.

Something really cool happened during the process of this..... I was inspired by one of my clients. You can look back to May and find Rachelle and Eric. They are such a cute couple; in fact, throughout this whole process we really have become friends. Sadly, about a month ago, her father passed away unexpectedly. I have to say, that no matter what I may have charged for her wedding, now those images are simply priceless to me now. I went into this business trying to provide affordable yet elegant photos. I wanted to HELP people. Without realizing it, K'Aloha Photography really become a part of something HUGE. I got to be a part of one of their happiest moments. You can be sure that my clients are more to me than just a couple who I need to pose. Rachelle, thank you for inspiring these shots. I know right now is such a difficult time for you. May you always cling to those memories you had of your daddy walking you down the aisle.

More oldies but goodies to come.

Especially for the Southern California Ohana

For Southern California Brides who are looking for AFFORDABLE and insanely gorgeous make-up:

Every now and then I will recommend a vendor or two that I find to be reliable, affordable, and does not sacrifice quality. I would like to recommend my great friend, Courtney Nicholson, if you are searching for a make-up artist for any occasion. If you are shopping, check out her website by clicking on her name. Featured below are a few samples of her work. When K'Aloha launches it's .com website, she will be a featured vendor.

Aloha & Mahalo,

This one is one of my favorites!

One of my favorite aspects about Courtney's work is that she really draws the natural beauty out of her client.

Paul & Lindsay + Wedding

Friday, July 17th, 2009 + Dana Point Salt Creek Beach
I was extremely blessed to attend Paul & Lindsay's wedding as a guest. Here are a few candid shots from their wedding. These two are so in love it is contagious. I couldn't stop staring at Lindsay's gorgeous smile. Her eyes simply sparkled. My husband and I have been on vacation the entire summer, so I have taken the last month and a half off. We were on our way back from Las Vegas to attend this wedding. On the trip back my husband turned to me and said "I know Lindsay will glow just like you did." If I looked like her, I have to say that I was captivating, because Lindsay simply took everyone's breath away. Paul and Lindsay, you two are lifelong friends. We are so excited for your journey together!

On another note, I have to give a shout-out to Paul & Lindsay's photographer, David Torralva. I truly admire his work. He is really helping me discover my own voice in photography as a photographer. Thank you Dave for all of the advice and the helpfulness. As I am launching my business in Oregon, I want my so-cal clients to know that if I am not in town at the times you need, Dave wins the K'Aloha Ohana recommendation!
