A GLANCE BEHIND THE CAMERA
I grew up in Tahiti French Polynesia, and moved to Hawai'i for my studies and it is while being a student that I first picked up a camera. Finding photography was like finding my voice and place in the world. I was placed here to slow time down, to create something worth returning to. I loved the connection it gave me to my subject and discovered I could highlight their best features and qualities. After 4 years of creating for fun and experimenting while simenteously studying and working student jobs, I decided the leap and go full time right after graduation. My life took a radical turn when I dedicated 100% of myself to my craft, working, traveling, and refining my work time and time again. Today, I still pinch myself that I get to work with incredible clients creating unique art. There is no ceilling to art and that is what gives me the fire to keep exploring and moving forward.

From the little girl who grew up in the middle of the Pacific ocean to the worldwide photographer, it took grit, perseverance and a million little miracles.
Observe - prompt - adjust
My mission is to bring out your natural qualities and highlight them so you get images that feel uniquely like you.
As the moments will unfold naturally, I will be a quiet witness, documenting each scene. When needed, I will prompt you and your loved one so you never feel lost or confused.
Experience has given me a sharp eye for detail, and through little adjustments here and there I will adjust composition in you in a way that will be flattering without being overbearing.
My Approach:
Sharing a laugh with my favorite people is what fills my cup. I find that connection with my clients, and love leaving the session with a light heart and a new tender memory.
A few things about me
I'm an island girl first and always find myself in the outdoors, especially near the ocean. I am heavily inspired by nature, using it as an integral part of your story rather than a background character.

My favorite feeling is being in awe, marveling at something new. It is what fuels me and speaks to my heart, which is why I have such a deep passion for traveling. That feeling of awe is something I always seek to communicate in my imagery, so that you can look back and think "wow, I can't believe this is us."
More About Me
I graduated college with a degree in Graphic Design. Although I didn't end up pursuing this path, my education has trained me in the elements of design which I find myself applying in my current work: composition, hierarchy, balance, color, etc.
