Live Young, Wild, and Free: Kailua Portrait Photographer

“All good things are wild and free.” – Henry David Thoreau

Jade Alexis is a young pretty thing with a warm, old soul.  She has an infectious smile and moves with a lovely feminine grace.  Her confidence is unassuming yet present.  She is easy going, easy to talk to, and genuine.  So ladies, if you want to disike her for being drop dead freaking gorgeous with or without makeup, you can’t because she’s very, very likeable and down to earth.

I had the good fortune of meeting her at a Honolulu fashion show back in March.  We finally were able to get together a couple of Sundays ago at Lanikai Beach.

It was easy to photograph her.  I couldn’t stop myself.  She was mesmerizing – young, wild, and free.

Aloha,

Crystal Chanel

MUA: Renee Warner of Black Cat Salon in Kailua, HI

Flower Crowns: Makane, Ocean Dreams of Flowers
