Iokepa Family : North Shore : Oahu

Getting back in the water for a photo shoot was one of the most rewarding, challenging, painful, fun experience this year. This was my first underwater session since my injury. My housing is way heavier then I remember. Jumping in the ocean with my clients was way more fun then I remember.

Getting the email from my client that they LOVE their photos is worth it all.  I love my job.  Thank you.

      I’ve been following you for quite awhile and when we surprised my mom for her 50th birthday a few years ago we went to Hawaii and jumped off that rock. I love seeing shoots that you do there, it brings back awesome memories and makes me kick myself for not randomly finding you before we were there! I would’ve love these kind of pictures of my entire family! Good work!
