With the unexpected passing of Lisa Marie Presley, we wanted to take a few minutes to remember some of her favorite moments that include family, traveling, and photographs.

Elvis Presley Dies in 1977
Lisa Presley was only 9 years old when her father, Elvis, dies in August of 1977. Within a few years after that, her grandfather, Vernon Presley and great grandmother Minnie Mae Hood Presley passed away and Lisa Presley became the sole heir to Graceland. Once of Elvis's last performances was in his favorite vacation spots, the Aloha state, Hawaii. Elvis very much enjoyed his R&R time at his favorite tropical location. He shot three movies in Hawaii, Blue Hawaii, Girls! Girls! Girls!, and Paradise, Hawaiian Style). These movies were shot on Maui but also featured footage from the Kona Coast near Kailua-Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii.
Elvis loved bringing his family and friends to the Hawaiian Islands between movies. He liked to keep his family life low key and decided to use the last name of 'Carpenter' when traveling.
Here is one of Elvis's most famous performances was in 1973 when his show was broadcast worldwide as "Elvis, Aloha from Hawaii"
Pictures of Hawaii and Memories in Paradise
Joe Garza Photography brings you many images of the Hawaiian Islands from places enjoyed by Elvis Presley, Lisa Marie Presley and Priscilla. From sandy beaches, volcanos, piers, ocean waves of The Big Island, Maui, Kauai and Oahu.
Kauai's waves are unparalleled, especially on Ke'e Beach where the rocky shore cause these ocean waves to explode as the incoming and outgoing waves collide. This image has the two of them exchanging a high five as they pass each other.

Lisa Marie Presley and Nicolas Cage marry on the Big Island of Hawaii
In 2002, Lisa Marie Presley and Nicolas Cage were married on the Big Island of Hawaii with Priscilla Presley attending along with Cage's son from a prior marriage.
Joe Garza's full online art gallery has many images from the Big Island of Hawaii including beaches, Hawaiian sunsets, sea turtles, and volcanos.
I had the awesome opportunity to do some underwater photography of this turtle with the waves crashing into the rocks. This scene reminded me of a storm as the waves crashed and turbulence of bubbles rose to the surface. The turtle seemed to just float in the water like a bobber. Storm rider was born!
Perfect timing as this waves topples over the top of me in Kua Bay Beach located in Hawaii. The water is so clear it's just stunning to capture these waves.
Inspiration to Many
Lisa Marie Presley was an inspiration to many as she found joy in music and motherhood. She also enjoyed travel which can provide a reminder to all of us to make the most of the time we have. Her death at the young age of 54, and her father at only 42, should inspire us to get out into the world and treasure the time with our family and loved ones. May she rest in peace with her dad as we remember their passions, lessons and contributions to our world.
