Ohana Ranch of Maui
My friend Anna called me up the other day and asked if I’d like to do a casual photo shoot with her friend Nova and her family up at the Ohana Ranch of Maui in Kula. I have never been before and am always up for new things/places and adventures. So I packed my camera and my Shootsac and off I went to this ranch!

It was a beautiful drive up to Kula. I have to say that’s my favorite part of the island for taking photos. The lighting is always so perfect and we don’t have to deal with the harsh sunlight. When I got to the ranch, I was greeted by the lovely owner, Toni Martin, and all of her miniature horses and miniature doggies (mix of Yorkshire terrier and chiahuahua). They were sooooo adorable. I have never seen miniature horses or been that close to them before. It really was a real treat. They love kids as well as adults, as you can see from the photos. It was such a joy seeing them running around grazing!

A very pregnant Nova and her hubby Kevin brought their 2-year-old boy Chase with them and they had such a great time, while Anna and I were just snapping away. Chase found these wooden horses inside the “Toy Store” and was totally smitten. What a cute cowboy he was! Yee-Haw! I’d love to take more photos of him in the future and when his new baby brother or sister arrives next January!

The Ohana Ranch of Maui is a family owned and operated horse ranch specializing in miniature horsemanship. They are also opened for special events such as birthday parties, weddings, bridal/baby showers. It is such a great place to visit if you are thinking of having a pre- or post-wedding activity/event during your wedding week. So make sure you check out their website link above.
Thanks, Anna, for inviting me to the shoot… and it was very nice meeting Nova, Kevin and Chase. Thank you, Toni, for sharing your lovely ranch with us.
