Being born and raised in the islands, I have a deep connection with Maui and its people. Growing up on Maui, you are surrounded by your family and friends who become family. As a photographer, I tend to witness a family’s entire story; from their engagement session before kids, to maternity, newborn and family sessions as their Ohana continues to grow. Its very common for me to see extended families and multi-generational families…sisters and their families…cousins and their families.

I started photography when I owned a preschool where I taught for 8 years. Photographing the preschool children gave me lots of practice on using a camera and capturing the small, seemingly insignificant moments.

I realized that I wanted to specialize in newborns from the very beginning. Documenting their tiny toes, lashes, fingers. Molding them into sleepy poses is my specialty. As these babies grew, so did my photography. Baby milestones, families and maternity sessions are now a part of my wheelhouse.
