MY WHY

Photography can preserve the parts of a trip that memory softens.

My own family story

My family did not have professional photographs taken when I was growing up. When I look back at our first Maui trip, what I have are grainy cell phone pictures. I would pay almost anything to step back into those moments with beautiful photographs of us together. That is why family photography means so much to me.

Years of Maui hospitality

I worked as a Maui concierge for many years and also trained other concierges. That experience taught me how timing, travel, weather, comfort, and the rest of your day shape a great island experience. I use that knowledge to make your photography plans feel easy.

Coaching and creative direction

I am a high school basketball coach and I have also been a director at a photography studio. Coaching taught me how to help people feel confident and work together. Studio direction taught me how to guide an experience from the first conversation through the finished photographs.

Aloha and stewardship

I want you to enjoy Maui while I capture the moments worth keeping.

I am passionate about showing visitors Aloha and sharing the beauty of Maui in a way that supports responsible and sustainable tourism. Thoughtful choices help us respect local guidance, care for the places we visit, and create a meaningful experience for everyone.

My goal is for photography to become one of the easiest and most enjoyable parts of your vacation, with natural moments and beautiful memories you can return to for years.

Kind words

I told Jim that my husband and I are awkward in front of a camera. He kept us talking and laughing, and they came out way better than I hoped!
