"Creatives with Aloha" featuring Rodrigo Moraes Photography
“Life is meant for spectacular adventures. Let your feet wander, your eyes marvel and your soul ignite.”
Meet Rodrigo Moraes. Brazilian photographer. Dad. Traveller. Surfer. Craft beer lover. Cyclist. Left handed. Coffee connoisseur. And lead photographer of @rodrigomoraesphotography, and founder of @elopeinhawaii and @rmstudiomaui
A real life hustling #creativeentrepreneur running multiple businesses, based out of beautiful Maui, HI and sharing ALOHA through his work.
I also loved this excerpt from Rodrigo’s website, “Sunshine makes me stoked but rainy days are a must too. No rain no rainbows.” So true and inspiring for those starting their creative businesses or photographer journeys.
Make sure to check out Rodrigo’s newest project, Elope in Hawaii. By thoughtfully expanding his range of offers to include services he was already helping clients with, he has cleverly expanded his target audience while still providing professional services in his niche! Great tip for all of you exploring other possible revenue streams for your business.
Rodrigo is an extremely gifted story teller, his photos truly are a return ticket to moments otherwise gone and forgotten.
