I first met Lori and Parrish a year ago when they came to Maui to celebrate their anniversary and Parrish’s birthday. We had a blast frolicking around Big Beach and these two fit right in with my silly personality. So I was really excited when they let me know they were coming back and this time with their entire extended family and their kids!

We met on Ironwood Beach in Kapalua on a beautiful morning. The tide was the lowest I’d ever seen it at Ironwood so we got to climb all over the rocks without fear of waves crashing right near us. It was pretty awesome!

I enjoyed watching Lori’s parents enjoying seeing all of their kids in one spot having a great time together. I hope that someday I will also get to see that – my kids and their significant others’ and grandkids all playing on the beach. That is something that I don’t take lightly as a photographer – it’s so incredibly important!

Loved seeing you guys again and meeting the rest of your family, Lori and Parrish! What beautiful kids you have. Hope to see you all on your next trip! XOXO
