Hawaii Side has moved!

I know this blog hasn't seen any activity for a while but we've gone through a LOT of changes over the past year. Starting this business a few years back we never imagined to have developed such an extensive portfolio and have meet so many great people. Jacquie and I both learned so much about our craft just through experience and some awesome families to model for our portfolio.

Jacquie is hanging out in Florida as a District Regional Manager for a major company and is doing a great job at it. With her gone, I'm back to being a lone gun man and I've moved to a new name and a new site. If you're in Hawaii and you'd like our services please come on over to

Feel free to contact me at any time if you have any questions, for now, inquiries can still be made through the Jacquie Ryan Photographic website :).

Thanks!

Wainwright Family

I recently did a family photo shoot for the Wainwright's up on the North Shore. This field and road location is one of my favorites to work at, and I was really excited when I saw the props that Lia & Jason brought along for the kids. Sarah and Matthew are both explorers and loved the open field. I followed them around and snapped pictures of them catching bugs with their butterfly nets and holding them captive in their mason jars. It was so cute. They are both such sweet, fun loving kids and I had a great time working with them. I hope you enjoy looking! :)

Both Sarah and Matthew have the most beautiful big brown eyes. I love it! :)











The explorers... :)













If you've lived in Hawaii and have kids, I know you've seen these dirty red feet before. ;)

Berry Family

The Berry's are so fun to work with. This is the second time I've worked with them and the first time little Trenton joined us for the photo session. We did the photo shoot at Lanikai Beach and even though the weather was overcast, we made the most of it. Overcast skies make for such beautiful even natural light, and it works perfectly for fair skin people and babies with sensitive skin. This is another family who has a Daddy deployed right now. I hope that these photos will warm their hearts and make the deployment a little more bearable. Enjoy browsing! :)

I love his eyes. Aren't they stunning! :)







He's cute and he knows it. ;)




















Cave Family Photos

Ryan and I worked with the Cave family last year for a family session on the windward side. I had the pleasure of working with them again this year and we did the shoot up in Haleiwa. The kids have grown up so much since I saw them last, and we had a great time walking around the small town taking photos. Jason left a few days after the shoot for a year long deployment with the military. I hope these photos will help to keep Daddy close to all of their hearts while he's gone. We wish them the best during this deployment. :)

*Sneak Peek* Ana & Elaina

Last year we had the opportunity to photograph Ana & Elaina for their family Xmas Cards and I'm happy to say we had the same opportunity this year. These are two great girls who were a lot of fun and made for a great shoot:




Look forward to seeing more from their shoot.

Sloan's Cowgirl Birthday Party

Sloan turned two recently and had a huge cowgirl birthday party so that she could celebrate the day with all of her friends. It was one of the cutest toddler birthdays I've been to. Everyone one was having fun, not just the kids... that's how you know it was a good party. :) They had pony rides, cowboy hats, a jump house, lemonade, a HUGE slip'n slide and an adorable pony birthday cake. I had so much fun at this event! I hope you enjoy browsing! :)

Some of the details.





Yee-haw! :)

Sloan liked the jump house. :)

Isn't she adorable!?!























Sloan's present from Mommy. She's gonna be the coolest kid on the block for sure! :)

Everyone helped with opening presents. :)
