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.

ugh! the awesome! it’s hurting my eyes! x
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!
Thanks Tristan! Sounds like you had a blast. xoxo
These are so great. The rainbow, the raindrops and that sand hand heart. What a great way to capture this family. Loving the swimming water ones so much!!!
