Miss Hawaii 2009

So I was super excited to work with Raeceen Wolford and feature her in DiG magazine's first issue of 2010. What a beautiful soul and wonderful woman, and a pageant queen as well! I am sure life has many wonderful things in store for this amazing soul. We shot on a quiet beach in the Kahala area. Just gorgeous.

Glam Punk

Only a few people know this about me, but I was a punk rocker when I was a teenager and living in Paris. I don't mean whatever "Goth" is, (that came much later, but not for me) I mean Corrosion of Conformity, Dead Kennedy's, and Firehouse punk. It was gritty, fun and I loved the clothes and music; not to mention my very first boyfriend was the guitarist in the band White Cross. (Do I really want to remember this?) I was really happy this season when I saw a lot of punk influences coming back in fashion. The spikey bracelets and jewelry, cigarette jeans, and crazy hair. It reminds me of a much more carefree time and attitude. And no, I never had a mohawk...but not for lack of wanting one. Patricia Field, you're still one of my heroes.

Volleyball Magazine Shoot

So I really enjoyed working for Volleyball Magazine for their premier swimsuit edition. The editor gave me creative freedom, Oakley provided all of the wardrobe, and for a week I got to shoot in one of my favorite locations on Oahu. Sorry, it's a secret! My hubby Kevin got a full page as well as volleyball athlete Eyal Zimet and two other beautiful models; one of which is a friends daughter and who I think is absolutely gorgeous. Thanks, VB Mag!

The Muse - Vanessa

Vanessa has been my muse since the first time I saw her on the beach years ago. Back then she was shy and had low self esteem. Now she's a working model with confidence. You go, girl! She is beautiful inside and out. I wish her much success in the industry, she definitely has what it takes.

Believe me, I know.

Black and White with Kate

I just love this girl, Kate. She's from Virginia like me (yay!) a strawberry blonde (yay!) I had always wanted to test her and was happy when I finally had the chance. She was a great sport considering I had her climbing into trees barefoot and very professional as a model. I had been thinking about doing a black and white story with black and white fashion for a long time. Glad I finally did it.

First blog ever.

So I've decided to start a blog. Everyone else has a blog, why not me. Yesterday I shot a friends three kids in my studio for a Father's Day present. It was a lot of fun but man, do kids take a lot of energy! I had fun though, and they were super cute.

It's been a wonderfully crazy month for me so far work wise. Three weeks ago I was traveling to Maui, the island of Hawaii and here on Oahu working on a Hertz Neverlost commercial, and for the past two weeks I've been working for Disney. Gotta love it.
