Hey there! I'm so happy you've found my website!

A tiny snippet about me, not photography related — I am half Hawaiian, have 2 adorable kiddos, and a Nationally Certified EMT!

I got my first camera at the wee age of 14 and never put it down. What started as nature photography around the neighborhood and pictures of the moon quickly turned into photographing family, friends, and private events.

I fell in love with the idea of capturing special moments for others in hopes that it allows them to actually spend time with each other, rather than worrying about snapping photos the whole time and missing out.

There’s just something quite magical about freezing those authentic smiles, emotions, and moments between families, lovers, and guests at a special event — forever.

I am always up for new adventures, opportunities, and ideas.

I love movement. I love events. I love photographing anything caught in the moment. That could be something as simple as walking to the location or as wild and crazy as wrangling the kids up to calm them down. It's all part of the experience and it all should be photographed. I love candid shots. I love photographing when my clients think I'm not actually paying attention or I'm just fixing some settings (I say this a lot to catch them off guard). I love just playing it by ear, making it up as we go, following the kiddos leads, etc. That is what makes each session, each family, each photo unique and special and perfect.

These unposed, authentic, in the moment, I-don't-even-remember-doing-that photo are usually the ones my client's seem to gravitate towards when it comes time to download their images. If that way of photography, that style of images, and my go-with-the-flow-ness is something you can jive with, then I think we could really make some beautiful images together.
