Hawaii Woman Magazine - The Year of the Hawaii Woman

This article written by Hawaii Woman magazine is probably one of my favorites because of the design layout and the half-day photo shoot it entailed.  The story highlights the business lives of five female entrepreneurs from Maui.  My personal favorite is the photo taken of us gals in our full length white gowns crossing Main and Market Street, similar to the Beatles from the White album.  This was super fun!
