About a year ago, I had the joy of photographing Tatum and Brett’s beautiful beach wedding. Unfortunately, on their wedding day, we didn’t get a chance to do drone shots and underwater photos due to rain. So when I asked them if they wanted to go to the breath-taking Aore Island Resort and “drown the gown” as well as take some drone shots, they were super excited! We were able to capture some beautiful sunny shots, just before the rain started to pour… speak of good timing! Thank you Tatum and Brett for being such troopers and agreeing to my crazy ideas :D

She’s growing up right before my eyes!

Every year I take a small photo session of my daughter’s on their birthdays to catch all their little milestoens. Here’s a portrait session of Naomi at four years at Aore Island Resort. This year we will start kindy, a bit of homeschool, and a learning a whole new language “Bislama”, the local Vanuatu Language!

We’re so excited to share this Vanuatu family session with you today! It was such an honor to have our sweet friends trust Niva Studios to capture their special moments. Even though Vanuatu could be super hot and humid, they were all such troopers and we LOVE how they turned out!

The Bennet family are good friends of ours here in Espiritu, Santo. They are the sweetest, kindest family, and have two adorable little boys, one of which my little daughter is “in LOVE with”! She makes sure I am constantly reminded that he will be “her future husband one day” lol. Mind you, she’s 4.

We are very grateful to have the privilege of serving people with such big hearts. Thank you friends.

We hope you enjoy this little gallery of photos taken at Turtle Bay Lodge in Espiritu, Santo Vanuatu!
