Oh, where do I begin with this one? Maile and I met in undergrad when we worked on a magazine together (#designergirlies) and we just hit it off from day one. After spending time together in Eugene, Maile moved back home to Maui (super jealous about that part). On a quick trip to visit a friend, I reached out to Maile to see if she wanted to collaborate on a swimwear session. Maile partnered with Acacia and LainSnow, two incredible small-business-owned brands that we can’t recommend enough. (Also as designers, we appreciate Acacia’s branding, just sayin’). If anyone needs an excuse to do fun solo portraits, let Maile be your inspiration.
