We came together through the magic of intuition and I can't explain how perfect our session was. Creativity flowed, great conversation and openness flowed even more, and from that, bloomed a new friendship. Now, I share with you our moments together in Paia for a sunset portrait session at the gorgeous Paia Inn.
Thank you for sharing a piece of your birthday weekend with me Phyllis - but more importantly, thank you for choosing me to capture your beautiful soul. You've left me and Maui enlightened and we cannot wait to welcome you back on your next trip.

Self Love Portraits: Jayne Chen | Maui, HI
Meet Jayne Chen and admire her Maui Portraits. She's gorgeous, hilarious, brilliant, thoughtful, fun and highly successful. And she's a fitness guru.
LOCATION: MAUI, HAWAII | MODEL: JAYNE CHEN | OCCUPATION: MODEL, ENTREPRENEUR, FOUNDER & CREATIVE DIRECTOR OF "LASHES IN A BOX" | HEAD JEWELS: THE GYPSY SHRINE
Meet Jayne Chen.
She's gorgeous, hilarious, brilliant, thoughtful, fun and highly successful. And she's a fitness guru.
Sunrise sessions are never easy, but Jayne was bright eyed and ready to hit the sand & ocean as we made our way to one of my favorite locations for water portraits on Maui. That saying, "time flies when you're having fun" is more than applicable to her session - we couldn't stop laughing while we made our way into the water and well after we were dry. Time literally flew way too fast but not too quickly that we couldn't capture a TON of beautiful Maui portraits.
Mahalo Jayne, for claiming your sandy spot in Maui with me! #thisisjaynesspot
