Travel Diary: On the beach in the Dominican Republic
You wouldn’t believe how blue are the waters of Dominican Republic. My eyes floated from the shallow aquamarine hues to the deep royal blues of the Caribbean.
When Two Worlds Collide: Elaine and Fernando Coura
Last weekend, Saturday May 12th, was a day for the cosmos. Two bright young worlds collided, and became one. She’s from American Samoa. He’s from Brazil. They met in New Zealand in 2015. This special day is set in the tropical sand of Dominican Republic. Here are a few of my favorite photos from my lens.

SESSIONS: Suli Sataua Slays Prom 2017
Suli Sataua slayed in her prom dress! Her senior prom theme: fire and ice. But no doubt, when she mixes the two, she is FIERCE. I was excited and nervous for this session. But Suli was wonderful! She killed it in front of my lens and was really fun to take photos of!

At 7 months pregnant, Kelley is still a bombshell in a lavalava. This hot mama and her handsome husband of 7 years are expecting a tama o le motu in June.

2016 Samoana Jazz and Arts Festival
I love jazz and brunch—two very exceptional things on one playlist.
Last year at the Samoana Jazz and Arts Festival as the official photographer. Music and talent by the water.
