NEW Model Feature: Jessica Sunok

Posted on September 7, 2017 by SPhoto

This is Jessica Sunok. An upcoming model who’s making a name for herself and I should add she’s coming up quick. She’s a winner of both Spocom Anaheim and Tuner Evo Philly bikini competitions. I mean I wouldn’t doubt her winnings. She’s friendly in person and easy going too. She’s hella professional and obviously ain’t a stranger in front of the camera. After the shoot, one of my homie’s that I shoot with, Kalen, brought up the fact that Jessica resembles Selena Gomez. I never thought that before meeting her but after going through and editing her photos, I could see exactly what the homie was talking about lol. So if you ever get to work with Jessica, she’ll be the closest you’d get to meeting Selena Gomez if you don’t ever think you’ll actually meet the real Selena Gomez lol!

By the way, did you know Jessica’s a HUGE sriracha lover?! See her photos & video and also get to know Jessica a little bit more by clicking the photo above or clicking here!

I know I post a lot of model portraits, but don’t let that stop you from thinking I can’t shoot anything else! Did this sunset maternity shoot for friends of a friend in July. This was before they were heading back home to Vegas and they requested to have some maternity shots done. My friend asked me and I happily agreed to do it. I like shooting maternity photos because to me, it’s such an important thing to document, especially if it’s going to be your first child, I mean why wouldn’t you want some memories?!

NEW Model Feature: Kerah

Posted on July 20, 2017 by SPhoto

For those living in Hawaii, have y’all heard about AMMDI aka Aloha Made Me Do It? Wait why am I even asking that question?! Of course y’all heard or seen that brand at least once. If you’ve been living under a rock or just play games all day and have no clue what AMMDI is, it’s a local lifestyle brand from Hawaii making waves through social media and even possibly a store near you! Reason I’m bringing the brand up is because of this woman right here! Kerah is the HBIC of that brand! She’s currently a fashion major at HCC (Honolulu Community College) and has plans of transferring to FIDM (Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising) in LA to expand her knowledge and skills in the fashion world.

I first met Kerah through my partners, Brandon (BSV) & Kalen (kshotz), on one of AMMDI’s swimsuit shoots. Prior to that, we only chatted lightly through instagram after she saw some of my shots I did with other girls that were sporting one of her 1 piece swimsuits. Then the team and I helped a bit with another shoot for her line and after that I thought, “why haven’t I ask Kerah yet to shoot?” So I asked her one day and she was down for my ideas and here it is!

Wanna see what we cooked up for this shoot? You’ll definitely wanna see the video too! Click on Kerah’s photo above or click here.

NEW Model Feature: Katie Daly

Posted on July 11, 2017 by SPhoto

She might look familiar to you or she might not. If you really have no clue who this eye candy is, let me give you a hint. You might’ve seen her working at district night club, as one of the dimes (if you weren’t already shit faced drunk to even notice lol). This is Katie Daly. Young lady on the come up with ambitions in the fitness world. Yup, you heard me! I said, “in the fitness world.” So if y’all need some tips or training in the gym, she just might be your next personal trainer! Check out the shoot the team and I did with her along with Tony, @tonez79, and his 79 Monte!

Got to help out on another one of AMMDI’s shoots this passed weekend which consisted of a skateboard theme. Their clothing inspired by the legendary skate brand, Thrasher. This time there was a whole squad of people there for the shoot, including some local skaters that were at the park who were included in the shoot.

Linked up with @aloha_mmdi to shoot their latest swimsuit drop, “Pineapple Aloha”, which drops today (6.9.17)! No long intro’s for this one.

Big shouts to @keeeraah (you’ll find out soon who she is) for choosing us to be a part of this project! Here is a few nice words she had for the crew and I. “Huge thank you to Sean, Brandon, Kalen, and Jaysen for being a part of this project with us and helping us make this vision come to life! Also, for helping me down the hike lol.”

NEW Model Feature: Michelle

Posted on June 1, 2017 by SPhoto

From what Michelle has told me, this was only her “second” shoot she ever did. I find that kind of hard to believe because from the photos and working with her, she did such a good job! I think she lowkey does hella shoots but doesn’t want to admit it lol. But say I was to give her the benefit of the doubt, then this “second” shoot that she had with me and the crew went well beyond our expectations. See how everything went by clicking on her photo above or clicking here.

NEW Model Feature: Jazzmine Rie

Posted on May 8, 2017 by SPhoto

Linked up with @msjazzminerie one day after she hit me up to shoot mentioning she liked my style of shooting. Before, when I first started photography, I thought shoots at the beach were the best things to do, because I mean we live on an island and it’s not that hard to find a nice beach to take pictures lol. But as I grew more with my photography, I thought beach shoots were so cliche. Typical. Basically what you assume to see when you hear of photographers from Hawaii. I decided I wanted to stray away from the beautiful beaches (don’t get me wrong, shooting at the beach will turn out beautiful pictures) and showcase the streets of Hawaii instead. Going for a more urban look now days. I still shoot at the beach here and there but my niche now is the streets. Check out Jazz’s photo set by clicking here or clicking her photo above. Don’t forget to follow her and myself as well on instagram!
