Aloha!
If you were like me, I didn’t have very many pictures when I was little, and I’m a little sad about that. So when I had kids, I wanted to make sure that I documented our lives as much as I could so that they not only had many memories to go back to, but tons of pictures to go with it. And of course, my desire to do that for my kids and family trickled down to wanting to do it for other families and couples. And that’s when my photography business was born.
I love that photography allows me to capture those crazy love feelings, story-worthy moments, and little precious memories in life. It allows me to freeze time so that we can live those moments over and over again. Because let’s be real for a moment… we live such busy lives that we often forget to slow down, enjoy the beauty that surrounds us, and spend quality time with our loved ones. Life is short, you guys... let's capture these moments while we can!
I give fun and adventurous individuals, couples and families an unforgettable experience full of joy and laughter. I like to get to know you ahead of time through questionnaires and social media, and create a friendship so that you can feel comfortable around me and being yourselves become natural. We'll start off as strangers and end up as friends at that end, which is always my ultimate goal with all of my clients.
I’ll take care of the details by suggesting the best locations for the vibe that you’re going for and helping you pick out wardrobe that will look best in the area. For the families booking with me, don’t you worry… being a mama myself, I’ll work my magic with your kids and come prepared with my ‘mama bag’. It’s filled with extra goodies that include snacks and wipes for those emergency situations. I got you!
Your photos will take you back to your session with me and bring smiles to your faces. They will share the story of your love and connection with one another. It will feel like the ‘real thing’ and you can look back in those moments for years to come.
So, whattaya say, are you ready?!?

I was raised in Hawaii, but ventured off to the mainland for a little bit. School, work and curiosity enticed me to move away, but being closer to family, especially when you now have a family of your own, was the reason that brought me back to the island. I met my hubby, a United States Marine veteran, while attending grad school in Michigan. We've been together for 16 years and married for 13. I'm a mother to three very energetic little ones and a stepmom to a very handsome young man, also a Marine veteran.
OAHU, HAWAII
