Not only did I get to shoot Paris + David’s engagement session in Hollywood and destination wedding in New York, I got the pleasure of shooting at yet another fun destination. This time for their little one’s first birthday in Hawaii Kai (on Oahu). Paris designed and made everything. She’s crazy talented and also a photographer. She’s always been so positive throughout the years, I’m blessed to know her and David too!

Thank you both so much for having me!




I adore this polaroid heart. I’ve been collecting some old Polaroids to do this with for years!



There’s a Chinese tradition to have the 1 year old pick from all these items and whichever one he chooses will be his career. When everyone got excited and made a lot of noise when he went to pick, it scared him! He also didn’t like the feeling of frosting on his fingers. So funny!

I love a good mushtashe.
