Portraits
MAUI PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER
Capturing the love in each moment and celebrating the life in your years
As you and your family grow and evolve, travel and play, each step is another milestone in the story you’re writing together, and it’s exciting to turn the pages.
At the same time, though, the urge to press the pause button is so real. The days pass so quickly, and a special trip to a place you’ve dreamed of is a chance to soak up the moment with your whole soul.
Documenting this magical time lets you hang on to the bliss of saying yes to living your life to the fullest.
It’s a wondrous thing, how fast things change and how swiftly time seems to move.
Let’s freeze time together.
Yes to making room for play and for joy in these full and hectic lives we live.
Yes to being sandy, salty, windswept and all kinds of silly.
Yes to playing in the sand, water, and leaves with your littles.
Our beautiful, wild, human experience is ever-changing, just like the beloved people and places that surround us. Photography’s magic is that it gifts you a visual record to be looked back on decade after decade with warmth and love.
A dreamy day in a dreamy place deserves to be documented.
They become your legacy, tangible tokens of the life story you’re writing.
After all, as the years pass, we don’t look back on photos in search of perfection. We look back for reminders of who we were, what burned brightly in our hearts, and how it felt in that moment to be alive.
A single image can surface a remembrance of not only what the far away beach looked like in the afternoon light, but how cool the saltwater felt between your toes. One click of a shutter can capture your face at a moment in your life, and in doing so, preserve your essence for years to come.
Photos, like memories, can be treasured forever.
I'll keep you wild
Bring your sweetness, your silliness, and all of who you are.
Portraits done well capture your love, your growth, your magic, your beauty, and your realness. They capture what’s special in the everyday moments and commemorate the once-in-a-lifetime experiences you’ve dreamt of creating for so long.
When I’m behind the camera, there’s only one thing for you to do — be really, truly yourself. I take care of the rest! My photographer’s eye captures your best angles and helps you see your beauty in a new light, while my eight years as a mum make me an expert in bringing out your kids’ best moments. (A little running around can’t stop us!)

“I’m speechless… You caught so many varying emotions and dynamics that play out between us.
I laughed, I cried, I gasped in awe.
Thank you so much!!!”
Answer:
Your questions, answered.
All of the above! You deserve to be documented and celebrated as you are right here, right now. I also work with a lot of mothers-to-be who want to capture their baby-growing magic through timeless photography.
Answer:
I offer a range of portrait packages to make sure that we’ll have the amount of precious time together that feels right for you. If you have any questions or would like to add additional time to a package, please ask!
Absolutely! As a Maui local and longtime photographer, I know allll the best spots to capture excellent photos. Whether you’re inspired by the beach, the mountains, the waterfalls, or somewhere else, I’m your guide to all things Hawai’i.
Each package I offer varies in the amount of photos included. This is based on my years of experience documenting for different lengths of time. Please know that I don't believe in a strict cut off at a certain number. These are your special moments and memories, and I promise to share them with you.
Your photos will be with you in around 4 weeks. I also send you one or two sneak peeks within a week to keep you going! :)
They will be delivered via a private online gallery which you can download and print directly from.
Living in the tropics, you never know what the weather will do. Oftentimes, we can go 5 minutes down the road and it will be dry there, so a location switch up is possible. If we’re experiencing torrential rain over the whole island, we will reschedule if we can.
Having said that, I strongly encourage embracing what comes our way and having fun with it. Maui is radiant, colorful and beautiful when the sun is shining. Maui is soft and stunning on cloudy days, not to mention flattering. Maui's windy days are playful and encourage movement in your body, your hair and your clothes and can give you a sense of freedom. Maui is dramatic when it rains which can lead to romantic and intimate and/or silly, fun and carefree moments.. and sometimes even a rainbow! Know that it is all gorgeous, and if you let go of expectation and lean into whatever the weather is, it will be perfect, and probably just the way it was meant to be for you!
You are absolutely not alone in this feeling. And no worries.. I've got you! I will be there to guide you and to be your friend so that you can feel relaxed and have fun with it. Movement is great for getting out of your head and into the moment, so I'll get you shaking off those awkward feels. Honestly, sometimes those awkward feelings/moments combined with my prompts will bring about your biggest and most genuine laughs.
Yes. I am here to be your guide and to capture your innate beauty. Part of the shoot is me directing you into positions and actions that encourage your authentic selves to shine through. The close and intimate. The fun and silly. The playful. The connection to your loves or to yourself. The other part of our time together is documenting all of the little in between moments that naturally unfold. I'll work with angles (and adjust myself or you if needed), the light, and the gorgeous backdrop of this island to leave you with photos that you feel.
I've got your back. I'll give you advice so we can have you looking and feeling your best!
I recommend having a spare outfit as back up (especially with littles that tend to make a beeline for water or anything muddy). You can switch up your look if you would like, just be prepared for changing behind a towel/sheet or tree. Keep in mind that any change of outfit does take away from our shooting time, so I would keep the outfit changes limited.
I don't alter the way you look other than removing anything temporary (blemishes, acne, bruises etc unless you would like them kept in the photo). If removal of the above is extensive, a retouching fee for your fav images may apply. If you are particularly self conscious of something, please let me know ahead of time and I will keep it in mind when posing you.
No. I believe that part of the magic is in the art of editing. One of the reasons you are choosing me is for my artistic eye and for the vibe in the photos you have seen. Make sure my look/vibe speaks to you and that you can picture it in your home and on your walls.
Yes!!! Water play is always so fun. I suggest doing it near the end of the shoot. Kiddos usually love playing in the water or at the water's edge. For you lovers and individuals out there, getting in the water can be fun and full of laughter and/or intimate and sexy. Think about whether you want to go in fully clothed or if you want to have swim things with you. Always have a towel in your car as you'll pretty much always get at least your feet and ankles wet if we are shooting at the beach.
Ah yes! Don't our little ones have such a big range of feels! Luckily, our session will be full of running around and playing. If they still aren't feeling it, I suggest you take a stroll together as a family, go look at some rocks, draw in the sand, play with the waves at the water's edge or simply sit down and snuggle. Not only will it make for authentic photos of your family as it is at this moment in time, but it also takes the pressure off the kids and the stress out of you.. which usually leads to fun and smiles. I have a lot of experience with kiddos and a tired/grumpy start doesn't worry me at all :)
Of course!!! I love documenting the love and connection shared between all human beings.
Absolutely! I have lived on Maui for 10+ years now and know the best spots to take you to. Once we decide on a location, I will purchase our permit to shoot there (included in your package).
Yes! I love shooting on this beautiful island I get to call home. I also love it when I get the opportunity to shoot on my neighboring islands and around the world. My inter-island travel fee is $600 which includes my flight, a place to stay for the night and a car rental to get me and my cameras to you. Please reach out for info on mainland and international travel packages.
I do offer photo & video packages in collaboration with my incredibly talented videographer friend. I also offer a Super 8 video package add on in collaboration with another incredibly talented artist here on Maui. Please reach out for more details.
I sure do! You can print directly from your gallery to my fav professional printing labs. The perfect and most easeful way to put your special moments up on your walls/shelves or to give as gifts. If you would like help putting an album together, I will happily set up a design date with you. One of my favorite things to do when I go home is to look through old photo albums. I can get lost in reliving moments from my childhood, or looking at photos of my family through generations. It's a good reminder to not just let photos sit on a computer or on your phone.
