Photography is so much more then a job to me. It's a passion that has consumed my life for as long as I can remember. I have always felt a commitment to capturing the beauty in this world, and it is the people who surround me that make this world so beautiful!

When I'm not taking pictures I am spending time with my husband enjoying all that living in the tropics has to offer, hiking through rainforests, swimming in waterfalls and scuba diving with Kaimana Divers. I spend lot's of time trying to think up new ways to green up my company and household, learning new ways to cook (and eat) healthy and growing tomatos in my backyard garden. I believe that it's possible to build any dream into a reality. And that belief is what has gotten me to where I am today, doing what I absolutely love, in paradise.

Featured Vendor: Sugarcane

Monday, November 23, 2009 Posted in Featured Vendors, Lifestyle, Weddings

This adorable shop is a must visit for brides and wedding planners. Sugarcane is filled to the brim with one of a kind collectibles, vintage furnishings, jewelry, designer clothing and local artistry. Everything in the store is previously owned, locally made or constructed from recycled and other eco-friendly materials, and hand picked by the very friendly owner, Faith, who opened the shop about three months ago. I searched out Sugarcane after reading about it in Honolulu Weekly. They hit the nail on the head with this statement: “Sugarcane has a touch of shabby chic, a dash of Hawaiiana and a pinch of kitsch blended with a hearty helping of environmental friendliness.” Budget FYI: Sugarcane is totally reasonable!

Faith was kind enough to let me spend a morning photographing her treasures…

Flower Chandeliers
These amazing vintage chandeliers would be an adorable addition to anything from a wedding reception, beautifully designed dining room or a little girls bedroom. You might have a hard time talking Faith into selling them to you – she loves them!
Hawaii Boutique Treasures
A mix of the eclectic treasures that adorn every nook and cranny of the shop.

These handmade sock animals aren’t really wedding related, but aren’t they cute?

I LOVE the handmade picture frames!
Local and vintage Jewelry
The locally made and vintage jewelry is reason enough to come by for a look. I especially love the sparkly stuff!
