Great gallery! There are some really awesome shots!
your post makes me wonder what you said to them! haha, whatever you did... it worked! the pictures look great!
I love your pictures. They are full of positive emotions, passions. I draw inspiration from them, but I know that a lot of learning still ahead of me.I look forward to the next material. Greetings
Fantastic as I already knew from watching you edit. I love the selection and sequence of them on the blog. And to think this was a superfast impromtu shoot. Watch for mine up on my blog tomorrow.
I simply must have you photograph our family next year. Are you ever in LA? Please let me know if you are, or we will come up to you at some point. You guys rock.
Seriously awesome, really. And when I was looking at these photos I was thinking... GAWSH I wouldn’t know how to act around these guys!!! Then I read your blog and I felt better... seems I’m not the only one who isn’t a cool young thing anymore!!!

I love these shots! You so captured the feelings of unknowing and excited trepidation from these three.
Beautiful boys.
am I biased? You Bet.
But I know from almost 15 years of shooting these faces ...
Mahalo Nui Loa!

Pretty sure this is one of your best sessions ever.
If you have time while you're still on Maui I have a few suggestions:
Get down to La Perouse Bay at the southern tip. It's only 10 miles from Kihei. Beautiful all the time, especially at sunrise. Cindy and I like to do a 20-mile out-and-back run form Kihei to the bay and back. The lava fields are especially cool.
Eat a loco moco. Actually, split one with Chris.
Eat dinner at Maui Tacos. I like a wet burrito with fish or shark.
Drive to Hanna and take the southern road back. It will take all day and it's worth it.
There's lots more to see and do, but those are a few of our favs. BTW, sweet photo shoot!

These are absolutely stunning. Looks like they should be in a magazine. An I totally get you with the "cool dad" thing. Scary realization when we're not as hip as we thought :D
HAHA! I feel the same way when we hang out with our nephews. They are 9, 15, and 16 and I always feel so lame. I didn't used to be lame. But now I am, I guess. Oh man. HAHA.
Amazing energy of youth in these photos. Seems to have been a successful collaboration. You are too good
your pictures are wonderful. love each and every single one of them. you are really a great inspiration and a wonderful source on new ideas and ways to improve my own photogprahy skills. thanks :)
viele gruesse, kristina
your photos always tell the story - I look at your images first (before reading your words) and I always feel that I know a lot about the person before reading.
You do such an such amazing job at capturing a persons true essence. Amazing.
At first I just looked at the photos but I just went back and read what you wrote. Wow. Wow. Wow. Thanks you guys.
you guys truly do an amazing job bringing out the personality of the people you mentor through photos! really awesome work!!
you are just absolutely amazing sarah. I always hate my photos but love these.
I couldn't agree more, Wendy is such a beautiful person--inside & out.
These are a great collection of holiday snaps...I wish I could get in the habit of just shooting for shootings sake....I miss it!
Thank you so much everyone for all of the wonderful Maui recommendations! We had a blast. Road to Hana was the best/worst drive of my life lol :) Thanks again everyone who had suggestions. Those we didn't get to we will be hitting up when we are back in November.
so glad you did take out your cameras on the trip! love the relaxed nature of these photos. looks like you all had a ton of fun!
Hey. Maui is the best island ever! if you like wine, you should drive up to the wine country, walk around, and go to Tedeschi Vineyards at Maui's Winery at Ulupalakau Ranch (http://www.mauiwine.com/directions.html). Lahaina is such a cute and beautiful town with amazing shops, restaurants, and views. For the more adventurous, you need to, absolutely must, take the curvy drive to Hana. It is one of the best drives I have ever been on and you arrive in a beautiful, non-touristy town that is so tropical. Enjoy your trip. You are going to one of my favorite places on God's beautiful earth.

Kanapaalli Beach Hotel if you're in the area--the bar is small and towny--but great! Locals play music and dance. Hopefully Dale is working.
Rent bikes and ride down Mt Haleakola. Don't do it with the tour. Pay a local dude to drive you up and drop you off so you can ride all the way down from top, and away from tour group. Dress warm.
Explore Lahaina by foot.
Napili Bay.
Sara,
Maui is beautiful. We drove across the island to Paia, a beautiful, cute town with fun energy and little places to tuck in and eat.
One thing you truly have to experience is the sunrise at Haleakala. We rose at 2:15am and drove up to the top to watch the sunrise -it explained all of the beauty in the world. I was left with a humble spirit after knowing God created such a beautiful renewal each and every day.
Enjoy your trip!
Big Makena beach for an awesome day in the sun and you have to eat pizza at Dollie's Pub & Cafe in Kahana. Enjoy your trip, Maui is an amazing place!
WAAAAAAAAAAAA! these are perfect!!! love you guys have an awesome time in maui!!!!
Wow, beautiful photos as always! For some odd reason...your photos make me want to go play checkers...big time!
Olivine Pools!! Just before the 16 mile marker on Hwy 30. Looks like a steep hike off the road, but is really easy (lava created natural steps). AMAZING swimming and views! (Btw, turn around and go back towards Lahaina after this unless you're really brave b/c the road becomes one lane on a cliff. I did the drive in grade school and was too scared to repeat it :|) Also, if you're going snorkling, Makena Beach just south of Wailea has TONS of turtles - some people said they saw more there than Molikini :)
I love these! I would love a break like that in the middle of wedding season. Hope you enjoyed it!
Hit up the Hana Highway on the east side of the island. It is a beautiful, curvy drive along the coast through amazing, lush scenery. And if you're up for a scary one-lane road, continue south through the barren, desert landscape (instead of turning back and coming back Hana Highway). I highly recommend the book MAUI REVEALED!
This trip sounds like perfection -- I'm completely jealous! The photos are gorgeous, as always :) Have fun in Maui (jealous about that too)!
Hey Sarah,
First of all - I absolutely love your blog and your photos. You are amazingly talented.
Second - I haven't been to Maui, but my wife and I are going there for our honeymoon in November. I've been researching extensively, and it looks like sailtrilogy.com is the "must-do" activity on the island. Their day-trip sailings feature snorkeling, whale watching and all kinds of other fun stuff. I'd encourage you to check 'em out. Please, please, please blog about your trip! I'd really appreciate some Maui advice when you get back!
Regards,
John
YES! go check out the olowalu plantation estate - it's tiny and beautiful and might be private. :) pobkes got married there! :) and climb mt haleakula! and snorkeling in kaanapali beach! have fun rhoadsies! xoxo
Love, love, LOVE the boat shot!!
so beautiful - as usual, you inspired me today.
Better Chris got pooped than the bride....or maybe that would have been a perfect "trash the dress" photo op
how amazing was the light!? wow! I am assuming Seattle has been just as gloomy as it has been here in the Bay? Forcing me to love shooting in the fog. Great photos, beautiful couple.
they are all so beautiful, but that pier/boat/sky shot is kickin!
That shot of the birds is amazing. Actually they all are.
Wow! Love the shoes, love the cake, love this whole wedding! Anymore details you have that you could maybe send to me?? :)
Wonderful set- love the mood!
