EXIST In PHOTOS
I have always known since I was young what power images hold. I became enamored by National Geographic and knew that photographing people, places, and things was what I wanted to do with my life. Places I have lived and traveled and people I have met have made me who I am. These things made me see the world even more differently than I already did. And all for the better. Please do not let moments pass you by. Don’t ever think you don’t look good enough or aren’t fit enough or you aren’t in your best outfit. Don’t disappear from life. And for fuck sake: Do not leave images on your phone to fade with time and be lost. Just get them printed! You can exist forever in images and people will thank you now and 50 years from now. Your family will thank you. Your friends. Your siblings. Your significant other. YOU. You will thank yourself one day, I swear it.
When you book with me, I promise a fun and memorable experience and beautiful photographs that you will cherish forever; photos you will want to display on your walls and break the Internet with (thank you, Instagram). Remember picture frames? Yeah. Those still exist. Buy them. Fill them and hang them on your walls. Albums are real, too, still. Be proud of who you are, where you’ve gone, and your experiences.
Forget it all and just Be
I am your girl if you want someone who is personable, in love with their job and photographing that beautiful bond between you and your lover or, if through portraiture, I am capturing that beautiful connection and love you may have with and for yourself. And visa-versa on that: If you need a boost of confidence, a shoot with me will give you just that.
My imagery tends to be on the darker, moodier, filmier side (GRAINY) with many of my favorite selections done in black and white. This moody style is my signature and so I do not stray from it. It is who I am as a person and artist. I work a lot off of posing and then asking for genuine reactions and movement from or within that pose. I like the idea of creating still art as well as capturing the authentic moments that come from that.
If my style isn’t your vibe, that’s okay. No hard feelings. Find the artist who is right for you.
...Rain or shine...
Please don't be scared of the wind and weather. We can always make it work in our favor and it creates the most magic in your images. Kaua’i is a unique place and we do tend to get a lot of rain, especially in the winter months. It is the Garden Isle after all. But please don’t let that scare you and DO NOT CHECK THE WEATHER FOR KAUA’I! It more often than not has proven to be inaccurate and can cause unnecessary stress. So leave it to me. If you’re curious about the weather, look out the window. That’s the best advice I can give.
I would be stoked to talk more about your special day. Let's get coffee/tea/beer/whiskey/wine (I like it all!), set up a FaceTime conversation, and to get to know each other; see if we vibe. It’s rare that I bump into another human that I don’t connect with on some aspect of life, so let’s meet up if you live on island or connect via FaceTime or Zoom if you’re someplace else in the world.
. . .FAMILY SESSIONs. . .
Yes! I do offer Lifestyle Family Sessions as well. Although I do not often display much of these sessions, I do love them very much and offer them up a few times a year. These Family Sessions are raw and real. Let’s get sandy and dirty, build sandcastles, play in the waves, and LIVE A LITTLE during your session! Let us document real life images of your real life family. WANTED: half-dressed, barefoot, wind-in-your-hair, stop-to-bond-and-feed-the-baby kind of families who aren’t afraid to be themselves with me. If this is you and how you want your Kaua’i vacation or your island life documented, then let’s do this. Email me to inquire about these limited family sessions. Family Sessions from $600.
