Even though I love shooting Maui families and Hawaii weddings of all sorts, my heart sort of skips a beat when I get called to shoot some commercial work. Its just something different and especially super fun when the “work” involves ocean, bathing suits and outrigger canoes on a beach 5 minutes from my home.

Ive known Tara from Maui Paddlesports at the Kaanapali Westin Ocean Resort for a long time (she taught my now 19 year old boy how to surf way back when).  She is an amazing woman who teaches surfing and yoga, owns Maui Paddlesports and spends part of her day paddling outrigger canoes, and is a pilot flying all around Hawaii as well.  There is no end to what she can do and shes always has her bubbly joyful spirit and pretty bouncy curly hair along the way.

If you would like to hire me for any commercial or family or wedding phtoography, give me a shout at wendylaurelphoto@gmail.com.
