I first had the pleasure of meeting Tim Lara in 2007. He took pity on the scared, excited, beginner surfer that I was and told me that he could teach me to surf. When we met down at the Cove, I took one look at this athletic kid who was asking me to “pop up on the board” and decided he must be crazy. Within the hour he really did have me popping up on the board, but the experience was more than that. It was his genuine […]
The Penny Palmer Photography team is especially grateful to be able to volunteer with different organizations around Maui. Volunteering in Maui is something you can do when you visit or as residents in Maui county. We have a few favorite organizations we like to work with and would love to hear about yours! Aloha mai e!
Recently we were asked to give a few statements about why we volunteer for Kihei Fourth Fridays. Penny is a local wedding photographer and Darci is a wedding celebrant for the State of Hawaii. Both activities keep us busy but we are proud to be able to […]

Whether you make the drive for sunrise or sunset, a visit up Haleakala Park will leave you breathless and in awe. Traffic is light in the twilight hours but make sure you check your weather reports as the conditions up at the crater are always different than sea level. Rising 10,023 feet up brings on cold temperatures and sometimes even hail and snow.
During daylight on a clear day, you can see about 115 miles out to the horizon. When the cloud cover […]
This weekend’s Festival was filled with fun for all ages! Haiku Hoolaulea was an opportunity for vendors to sell their local treats, art and clothing as well as a place to display the beautiful flowers and produce native to our area. Parking was a bit crazy, but the venue itself was laid out nicely with plenty of walking space, dancing areas and open grass to sit down and eat.
With performances all weekend by local hits like Marty Dread, there was always something coming from the speakers that added to the […]
April, the month of the young child, was celebrated in grand style at the Valley Isle Keiki Fest 2013 on Maui. Their mission reads, “To promote a positive environment and a community for children to be safe, healthy, and ready to succeed.” They truly succeeded this year!
With performances by the cheer squads and martial artists, the kids cheered on their fellow peers.

I’m stylin now!
Of course being […]
Once again we were thrilled to be part of the Kihei Fourth Friday event. March’s event came about a little earlier with the month having 5 Fridays in it. Nevertheless, there was a good turnout – both in enthusiastic vendors as well as an amazing assortment of food providers. We especially enjoy the tacos and donuts, bringing us back in time to our photo shoots in Mexico! Mahalo/Gracias!
There was air of calm this Friday event… a welcome to many as we enjoyed the music and mingled with friends […]
