Max is by far one of my favorite parts of being on Kauai! She has such a free spirit of adventure and life that I've never seen quite like her's in other people. (I'm not sure if that all made sense but it works for me...) You've seen Max before when I posted images from her engagement session a year ago. This time through, Max and I wanted to have an adventure with the giant swan Bryce and I brought to the island, so naturally we did just that.

So we dolled up Max and created a series of photo's involving a lonely island girl who longed for something to float her away. Of course dreams came true for her as the majestic giant swan swept her away...

Oh yeah and I'm for hire! That's right, let's make and capture some adventures of your own... click here

I have posted several posts on the wonderful trips to Kauai I have been able to attend in the past couple years...

Example 1

Example 2

...you get the point.

Maybe I say the same lines every time but Kauai has truly become a special place in my heart. The memories of dear friends/family, bon fires, camping, surfing, tropical storms, jungle adventures and of course mosquitos all hold dear to me. It's that time of year again when Bryce and I head back to Kauai and spend a good part of the summer with friends/family. Each time we go back it makes it so much easier to say, "Yes, when can we purchase our home there and make it our part time residence?" That day is in the works but until then we will just vacation there and continue to build memories in our hearts.

Here's to last summer and the upcoming trip in just one short weeks where many more memories will be made. -AG
