A-L-O-H-A ... Hula Style

The morning of this photo session, started with passing showers - but as soon as Brad and Mi'ilani pulled into the parking lot - the clouds lifted and the sun came out strong and brilliant! Couldn't have planned it better.

In an earlier post, I documented Mi'ilani in yoga poses to help market her Yoga teaching that she does at various Yoga studios across O'ahu. For this session, she wanted to capture the essence of HULA. Mi'ilani is also a Kumu Hula (teacher of hula) in Japan - she has an award winning halau (school) over there.

Please ENJOY the essence captured that day ...





Mi'ilani with her husband, Brad, also a member of the award-winning Halau Na Kamalei (led by Robert Cazimero), swayed and picked up the rhythm of one another so beautifully.









The next images captured were my absolute favorite from this session... Thank you Mi'ilani for trusting my vision...



Mahalo NUI Loa (thank you very much), once again Mi'ilani and Brad for choosing me to capture these moments! There is no greater compliment than repeat business - so MAHALO!
