Honolulu-based photographer Elyse Butler Mallams shares some beautiful photos from 2012.

I’ve seen a lot of amazing sights this past year, feeling blessed and excited for what’s to come in 2013. Just got home from a holiday trip to the mainland, reflecting on the year and looking through photos, I wanted to share a random assortment of some beauty seen in 2012.
