Ancient Hula. Hula dancing before the coming of the white man to the islands. The costume is usually natural looking, (flower leis, Maile (leaves), simple wraps “around the waist”). Ancient Hawaiian female children wore little more then tapa cloth around their waist, if anything. Their tops sometimes were covered by lei and/or maile (leaves). These are more serious but can be a lot of fun. I have many pareos, grass skirts, coconut bras, lei, flowers, maile, etc. for use in dressing “Hawaiian”, or you may bring your own.

Modern Hula, Tahitian, Polynesian. Hula after the coming of the missionaries. This can be pa’au skirts, or full dresses. These are more contemporary poses. Lots of smiles. 

All types, it depends on what types of clothing the model brings with her. From Formal Gowns to the short dresses, from Athletic wear to the swimwear.  Pretty much anything that does not fit the other categorys.

I’m calling this section Sweet 16 but that is just one of many “Coming of Age” celebrations that can be captured in a photoshoot. Here you will see examples of Sweet 16, Quinceanera (age 15), and Bat Mitzvah (age 13). All of the photos of the girls in this section were taken when they were actually celebrating their own “coming of age”. This is the “Milestone” opportunity take photos that are a bit more mature in nature that what has been taken previously, especially the Sweet 16.

Dress up as your favorite character or superhero for a fun and exciting change of pace and…

YES, I can transform you into a mermaid. I have been collecting pretty much anything mermaid for years as a hobby and decided that transforming models into Mermaids was a fun and interested part of Youngaloha Photos. 

A gift for the whole year. This can be a very long session or a series of sessions, where I photograph you in different outfits and/or costumes for each month in the year. These can be a great gift for family and friends. You will need pay for the calendars themselves once the photos are taken, selected, and edited.

I don’t have a lot of room in my “studio” but have taken family photos of up to 5 people. I have also traveled to homes and set up in a “bigger” room.
