My passion is photography, thus here I am, always willing to learn more and share what I do know. I am a professional photographer located in Honolulu, Hawaii. People are my choice subjects, I always strive to capture their spirits, as everyone has a unique spirit to share. It is very important to create trust between you and your clients. I usually do this with a pre-shoot brief meeting so when they arrive at their session, they are already relaxed and feel confident in themselves and with me.
I hope to hear new ideas or be of help to others through this forum.

You do have fantastic natural back drops in Hawaii not to mention the weather. I heard the Hawaiian language doesn't have a word for weather because it stayes the same all the time. right now in Pittsburgh, 11:00 AM, it's 50 degrees. Warm for this time of year. I'm jelous!

Hi DWelch and welcome to Ugly H. Share some of your photography so we can get to know you better. CJ said what was on my mind. You have very unique landscapes that aren't anywhere in the world. Should would like to see some, Santa.

I am originally from the Boston area so I know what a cold winter is about, thus my move to Hawaii five years ago. I have no regrets on relocating, although starting a new business here is very difficult, especially with hundreds of photographers on the island.

thanks, I would be glad to share some of my work. I recently photographed this college student. She said she wasn't photogenic, which always makes me smile, everyone is photogenic if captured in the right light, the best angle and their spirit is revealed.

We are only a plane flight away from Pittsburgh (a long plane flight, that is). But, the Aloha spirit is shown in abundance to the tourists here, which can make up the travel time.
Thank you for welcoming me to Ugly Hedgehog.

All photos are beautiful ! The natural landscape shots are especially appealing. Always loved broad leaf plants especially banana trees and water. Show more. Was thinking of moving there myself but heard the real estate is out of sight ! Since much as to be imported cost of living must also be high ? That aside...your photos are making me to rethink ? Aloha!

Hawaii is paradise, and yes, real estate is out-of-control. Unless money is no object, homes and land are unaffordable for most average income workers. Many local families live together to afford housing costs. The trade-off is less indoors and more outdoors. It works for me, but the adjustment is difficult for many people with expensive taste that simply cannot downsize.
Come for a vacation here and check it out... but be prepared to get caught up in the worst traffic in the nation while you travel to find the secluded beaches.
Everyplace has its high and low points... just have to decide what you can live with and without.

Photographs are just as important to the elderly as they are to the very young. They eagerly came in their wheelchairs to whisper into his ear and more than once I heard them ask, "Santa, can I go home?"
There are some things that even Santa doesn't know how to answer.
Let's remember to count our blessings and share our love with those that just want to be included in the family's festivities.
