Right after the intensity of the August to December season, which for me includes beautiful summer adventures, newborn sessions, maternity sessions, mini sessions and sessions sessions sessions, I just need to take a breath.

Quite often I feel like I poured all my creativity out and right on the heels of that is winter.

This year I want to try something different and use this season to unleash a whole new level of imagination and creativity in my sessions. I want to connect with the Lord, the Creator of this whole incredible universe, and produce art in unity with Him, and that shines the light on Him and His glory.

Enter: Big Island, Hawaii! I will be leaving on Tuesday to join 13 other amazing women so we can connect, share and adventure together.

I can’t wait for the times of reflection and journalling that have been carved into our time there.

And I CAN’T WAIT for the 4 sessions I will be shooting there. Seriously. What a joy!

So, what to pack?*

I have had plenty of practice packing light over the last 27 years and even though I will be away for 11 days, I plan on taking ONLY a carry on and an underseat bag for my gear and clothing!
