I’m based in Kailua-Kona on the Big Island of Hawai’i and photograph families, couples, maternity sessions, and intimate weddings across the island. I regularly work in Kona, Waikoloa, Mauna Lani, Kohala Coast, and nearby locations. Travel outside of the Big Island may be available upon request, and travel fees may apply depending on the destination.

You'll receive a selection of sneak peeks within 24–48 hours after your session, featuring some of the highlights from your gallery. Full edited galleries are typically delivered within 2–3 weeks, depending on the season and overall workload.

Every gallery includes carefully selected and professionally edited images that tell the complete story of your session. Based on the package selected, you will receive 30–75 professionally edited digital images to review and choose your preferred photos for your final gallery.
If you would like to preserve more memories, additional images are available for purchase at $10 each, or you may upgrade to the full gallery for $200.

A non-refundable retainer of $100 is required to reserve your date. The remaining balance is due 3 days before your session. Please note that Hawaii State Sales Tax (4.712%) will be added to all packages.
