Just a gloomy-day shoot reminder 🤍

Oʻahu is an island, which means our weather can shift FAST. Stray showers are super common, and honestly, that’s part of the magic! 🌈

So if you see clouds or a little rain in the forecast, don’t fret. Unless heavy rain is in the forecast, we won’t cancel your session. Hawaiʻi is beautiful in every kind of weather, and we’ll keep shooting! Sometimes that means getting a little creative, chasing the light, or running back to the car for a few minutes while we let the rain pass. 😂

I’ve had the privilege of photographing families from all across the U.S. and around the world here in Hawaii, but this was my first time photographing a Lebanese family…and WOW. ✨💛

How absolutely stunning are they?! Every frame looked like it belonged in the pages of a magazine!

One of my favorite parts of photographing extended families is pulling grandma and grandpa aside for a few portraits together.

I always ask them two questions:
“How long have you been married?”
“What’s the secret to a lasting marriage?”

Every couple gives a different answer, but most share one common denominator: “we always forgive each other”. 🤍

How is it July already?! 🤯

Throwing it all the way back to my very first session after moving to Hawaii (2023). Time has flown by so incredibly fast, and it’s amazing to look back and see how much has changed since then.

This Military Appreciation Month, I’m honored to share these moments with a family who has given so much in service to our country. ❤️

These photos were taken after a very meaningful milestone: a final flight with the C-130s.

A career filled with sacrifice, strength, dedication, missed holidays, long deployments, homecomings, and countless unseen moments that only military families truly understand.

Behind every uniform is a family that serves too. The spouses who hold everything together, the children who wait patiently, and the loved ones who carry both pride and sacrifice hand in hand.

Thank you to this beautiful family for allowing me to capture such a bittersweet and special chapter of your lives. And thank you to all of our military members and families for your service, resilience, and sacrifices that often go unseen. 🇺🇸

Motherhood is love in its purest form—the quiet sacrifices, the endless strength, the way a mother gives pieces of herself so her children can grow.

To every mom who loves deeply, gives endlessly, and keeps going even on the hard days: you are appreciated more than words can say. Happy Mother’s Day. 🤍

Our military orders are in… and the Hammers are excited to announce that we’re moving to…
…nowhere!
We’re officially staying in O‘ahu for another 3 years!!! ☀️🌊⛱️🌴🐚🌺

Grateful doesn’t even begin to cover it.

Staying here in Hawai‘i feels like such a gift, even if it wasn’t the original plan. The slow mornings, ocean air, golden sunsets, and that “we’re really here” kind of peace hits different when you realize you get to keep it a little longer.

Not everything goes the way you expect… but I’ll happily take this version 🥰

If you reached out before and I had to turn you away because we thought we were moving, I’m so sorry! Please reach out again if you’re still looking 🤍

Now officially booking through May 2029! Let’s make some magic!
