As 2021 comes to a close, let's take a look at the top 10 new releases of the year in no particular order. Reflecting on 2021, it was a great year for us as we were able to travel around Hawaii once again and had a great trip to Arizona to see family and photograph Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend. Anyhow, let's get to the images shall we.......
1. Ka'anapali Nights | Maui, Hawaii
While on a family staycation, I just happened to come across one of those perfect sunset scenes that I just had to capture! I couldn't get enough of this view with this incredible flower foreground, coconut palms and the island of Lanai framed perfectly in the background. Just quintessential Kaanapali
Collector's Edition of 100
2. Angel | Antelope Canyon Page, Arizona
Deep in this slot canyon I was captivated by this formation resembling the female form with what appears to be wings when viewed from this angle. Throughout the day the light changes so dramatically in here and the contrasting colors of purple, red and orange of this scene really made just magical to witness. I didn't have much of a time window to capture this wonder of nature but I managed to come away with this beauty.
Collector's Edition of 100
3. Jurassic Dawn | Oahu, Hawaii
A very special scene I've wanted to capture for quite some time, the Kualoa mountains are just stunning. As I got to this location it was a little bit too windy to capture the reflection and then right as the sun rose, it was calm for several minutes allowing this beauty to be captured.

4. A Perfect Morning | Maui, Hawaii
One of my most favorite places in the world is this little cove here on Maui. This was such a perfect scene with the watercolor, the clouds, and I love the palm shadows created on the beach from the palms behind. Just simply a perfect morning spent in paradise
Collector's Edition of 50
5. Lanikai Serenade | Oahu, Hawaii
After enduring a morning rain shower, the sky at Lanikai Beach lit up with some amazing colors. I decided a long exposure would be fun during this light show and let the beautiful simplicity of this scene shine. Sometimes the best light is right after a storm.
Collector's Edition of 100
6. Island Love | Oahu, Hawaii
Sometimes the island just shows you a sign that we need more of something in the world. This heart shaped rock formation isn't super obvious until it fills up with the incoming waves, but what a lovely scene to capture on the island of Oahu. Hope you enjoy!
Collector's Edition of 100
7. Divine Light | Antelope Canyon Page, Arizona
Slot canyons are just an amazing creation by mother earth and when you mix the canyon with sun beams, magic sure seems to happen in here! What a truly amazing experience it was to hike through these canyons and truly feel blessed.
Collector's Edition of 100
8. Blue Hawaii | Oahu, Hawaii
Lanikai Beach on the island of Oahu is home to one of my favorite scenes. White powdery sand and some of the best water color that you'll find in Hawaii with the Mokulua islands on the horizon is just a magical combination of elements
Collector's Edition of 100
9. Horseshoe Panorama | Horseshoe Bend Page, Arizona
A scene that I've always wanted capture, the size and scale of the Horseshoe Bend of the Colorado river is hard to imagine until you see it for yourself. It's such a grand scene that I felt a panorama was necessary to really bring you into this beautiful landscape.
Collector's Edition of 100
10. Honu-rama | Maui, Hawaii
Swimming with the Hawaiian Honu (Green Sea Turtle), always blows my mind. They move so gracefully through the water and it's so much fun to capture the beauty of these amazing creatures. In Hawaiian culture, the Honu symbolizes good luck, endurance and long life
