Corey Ann Photography | Northeast Ohio Photographer

First I want to mention that my blog will be undergoing some construction in the next couple weeks so if things look wonky at times, I apologize!

Now… the post! Day two of shooting in Maui – this time around the area where the house was located at where the workshop was held. The house was in Lahaina but in the foothills of the West Maui Mountain. There was an interesting forest behind it which made for some unique pictures and the skies were really interesting that day changing light constantly. Enjoy the shots!

Luke shows that photographers will get into some crazy positions to get the right shot!

Shot of the houses Mike & the gang were staying at. The workshop/photog house is the one with the white peak. SUCH a great house!!

I have a bad habit at workshops I have found – I tend to shoot the photographers I’m with just as much as the couples – and I love it.  In Hawaii I not only had some amazing couples to play with but some super fun photographers as well that never failed to strike fun poses (yes, I’m looking at you Scarlett!).  I also couldn’t help but take some snaps of the gorgeous location we were in and one amazing guy we stumbled upon.  So here are some pics from our first day of shooting of the photographers and the scenery.

Erin gets some advice from Mike Mijangos whom was so awesomely helpful during the workshop.

On our way down Front Street, the access to one of the beaches was being roped off with caution tape.  I looked over the edge of the decking to see why and saw this amazing beauty.  This is a Hawaiian Monk Seal which is an endangered species and only is seen in Hawaii.  I was seriously STOKED.  Don’t worry, this guy (or gal?) is fine.  They just come to shore to chill out from time to time.  I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to get a few pics though so I had to take a pitstop while the others kept going to get a couple shots.  I don’t regret it for a moment.  This was one of the highlights of the trip for me.  I’m such an animal lover

The adorable Natalie again. I LOVED her shirts.  This lady has killer taste in clothing people!  AND she warned me about the sea urchin down here I almost stepped on in my bare feet.  YIKES!  That would have outranked my cactus story I think, thankfully she saved me.

Rosanna and Jared sittin’ in a tree… first comes love, then comes a bunch of photographers!!!

No day is a bad day when it ends like this.  Ahhhhh I miss Maui!
