New Promo Card

Super Busy

So it's been a busy start to 2011 which I am very grateful. I've been shooting for various magazines, doing tests and basically building my craft. Loving every minute of it. Here are a few images of a test I shot this week of a model from NYC. I've got to say that living here in Hawaii makes for the most beautiful natural backdrops around!

Shooting Austin

Austin is hot. He's hot and he's new to the fashion world which means he's hot and nice. Here's a few pics from a 15 minute shoot we did. Tell me this boy isn't supposed to be a star...

World Premier of Hawaii 5-0

I'm not the paparazzi type of photographer, not that there's anything wrong with that (except for the invasion of people's privacy, car chases, etc., etc., etc...) but hey, that's not my style. Anyway, when a friend who does PR asked me if I wanted to shoot this, I said, why not? Sounds like fun. It was! Kevin and I went (he protected my gear) and had a blast! Around 10,000 people came to Waikiki Beach to witness the premier of the the new Hawaii 5 -0 show and it was great. Special thanks to Erika for asking me! :D Chee Hoo! Pictured is me having fun in the madness, Daniel Dae Kim, Alex O' Loughlin, Scott Caan, and Grace Park, the stars of the new show. I hope it has much success!

Michelle More Williams for DiG Magazine

The day I shot Michelle was another freezing cold California afternoon. I felt bad that I asked her to get in the water and get her hair wet but it was just a better look for the shot. She was a great sport and didn't complain. Michelle is one of the prettiest girls I've seen and has amazing skin. She's 1/4 Japanese and I never knew this until the day I saw her without sunglasses! She has played on the AVP tour since I can remember; and I was always too shy to ask her to shoot with me. I'm glad we finally did, and Michelle, I'm sorry it was so cold that day! You look amazing though. It was worth it.

Shooting Misty May Treanor for DiG Magazine

I was so excited to shoot Misty May Treanor for DiG Magazine. Not only is she a two time Olympic gold medalist in the sport of beach volleyball, but it was really the first time that I had a chance to speak with her other than the occasional "Hi" at tournaments. She's really wonderful and such a strong person who really seems to know what she wants and goes after it without any fear. From the conversation we had, she sounds like she wants to start a family now which is why I chose this photo of her lounging and looking relaxed. I wish her and her hubby the best of luck in their lives! Thanks, Misty! Come see us in Hawaii!

Kristin for DiG Magazine

When the beautiful Kristin showed up to be shot for DiG Magazine I asked her, "How many times a week do you work out?" Her answer, "Oh, I haven't been working out at all, I'm too busy studying for the Bar Exam right now." Humph. Beauty and brains and not an ounce of fat on her. Life just isn't fair sometimes. It was a real treat meeting this spark plug of a woman, and shooting her was a lot of fun and completely effortless too.
