The intimacy of capturing a moment – whether it be an unknowing smile, an explosion of colours as the sun sets, or the curve of a wave as the light dances upon it, are a constant learning experience for Lahaina. With the belief that one photo is never the same as last, Lahaina challenges the intangible qualities captured within a photograph, creating a mood to envelop all who see it.

The invitation to witness and capture life’s little gems – whether it’s a newborn baby’s first portrait, or the exchanging of vows at a wedding ceremony, are all intimate moments that inspire the joy of working with people and photography.
