Lysandra Cook Photography: Personal Project: Lysandra Cook Oahu Photographer

Welcome to my Blog!

Welcome to my blog! My name is Lysandra I am the luckiest person I know. I live and work on the windward side of beautiful Oahu, Hawaii. I love what I do. I have a terrific family that appreciates my innate need to re-create the beauty around me in photographs. My clients and their most joyful, real moments are the primary source of that beauty - and our gorgeous Oahu scenery is the perfect backdrop. My style has been described as lush, romantic, vibrant, natural, relaxed, and carefree.

Although I am based on the windward side of Oahu, I love to travel! Just ask about service across Oahu, to the outer islands, or to the mainland.

I am a proud volunteer for Operation Love ReUnited, which serves our deployed military service members and their families. I believe in giving them something to which they can hold on, during a time of letting go. I am also a member of HeArts Speaks, which connects photographers with animal rescues.

Personal Project: Lysandra Cook Oahu Photographer

I recently started a 365 Project with my own children. This means I must take and post a picture of each of them on Flickr for an entire year. I was interested in the project as a way to capture this year in the life of my children. I had found that as I was taking more pictures of other people and their children I was taking fewer pictures of my own. I would still bring out my camera for events but had been taking far fewer every day shots.
I also wanted to be able to watch them grow and change over the year.

We are on day 49 (we did take a week long break while my son was on the Big Island for a school trip). Here are a few of my favorites.

I love this one of my son because it shows how very handsome he is. I love his intense eyes.
