SESSIONS: Porotesano-Salanoa Aiga

Sep 1, 2020Photography

Home session with Charity, Burg, and Aunty Solofua in mid-July 2020.

It’s been a while since I shot a family session, but when Charity asked me to take her family photos, I was all over it. Her family is very dear to my heart. The location for the shoot was at their family home in American Samoa. They have a beautiful outdoor space which was perfect to capture their close-knit family relationship. This photoshoot was also incredibly timely, as both Charity and Burg are now off-island pursuing their careers. I am so honored to have shot these photos of the Porotesano-Salanoa aiga.
