What can I say, living in Hawaii offers an array of beautiful backdrops to shoot. This month we had our first shootout at Baldwin Beach which is on the North Shore of Maui and we were lucky to have ridiculously good lighting and gorgeous models to photograph. Every year, the sand from the right side of the beach is swept away, leaving these beautifully textured roots which are normally not seen when the sand is there. There were four stations with different models, and after 20 minutes of shooting the groups would rotate. There was great energy & friendly faces. It was also nice to meet photographers new to the group!

I want to give a special thank you to the wonderful ladies from Wings Hawaii who were kind enough to donate the jewelery, surfboards, and clothing for the event. There boutique is located in Paia, Maui.

Here are some behind the scenes photos from Monday’s shootout.

  1. I so badly wish I could be there for that. What better way to spend an evening than frolicking in the sand, shooting with others who love it too. Thanks for giving me a pictoral view of what it’s like! xo
