I was so excited to meet up with Cheyni and her adorable son, Maika, for a special session at Rainbow Park in Paia town. I’ve known Cheyni since we were both teenagers so this Maui photo session was long overdue.

What better celebration of a beautiful mommy/son relationship than a picnic in the park? Followed by hide and seek, tree climbing, flower picking, and arm wrestling. It was a lovely Upcountry morning for the shoot and the weather couldn’t have been better.

I adored the way Cheyni looked at Maika – and how crazy he is about her. They share a beautiful bond.
