II am the luckiest person I know. I live and work on the windward side of beautiful Oahu, Hawaii. I love what I do. I have a terrific family that appreciates my innate need to re-create the beauty around me in photographs. My clients and their most joyful, real moments are the primary source of that beauty - and our gorgeous Oahu scenery is the perfect backdrop. My style has been described as lush, romantic, vibrant, natural, relaxed, and carefree.

I grew up in a tiny town in Northern California. Down our dirt road we had horses, goats, sheep, rabbits, gerbils, chickens, cats and various mice I saved from the cats. That experience gave me so much that is a part of me today: a love of animals, and a deep connection to nature that I love to express in my photographs. (It's also given me an aversion to goat's milk. But I can live with that.)

I am a proud volunteer for Operation Love Reunited, which serves our deployed military service members and their families. I believe in giving them something to which they can hold on, during a time of letting go. I am also a member of HeArts Speak, which connects photographers with animal rescues.

It is my greatest joy to create works of art for you that show your love for one another, your happiest and truest selves, your style and your humor. At your session, you will laugh, you will hold one another close, you will enjoy yourselves, and you will be left with beautiful artwork to remember a wonderful day.

And I might even do the hula for you.

Mahalo to Dallas Galbreath for the beautiful image.
