I am photographer from Kauai, Hawaii. My juxtaposition between light and shadow signifies my style. I dive deeply into my subjects and am interested in the mutation of form; of what we can see and reveal of our true selves through the camera.
photography services
I offer professional photography sessions. I specialize in portraiture, emphasizing sensuality and emontionality. I consider my process and work as that of a witness; there in intense times of personal transformation as well as euphoric expression.
Untaming the self
Photography can be a cathartic process. Being witnessed in our humanity, our messiness, our wildness of emotion is a gift that can expose us and help us feel seen in a safe space. This work of mine is not polished but rather raw and expressive, it is an opportunity to open up and reveal parts of ourselves that are often hidden.
Honoring Intimacy
A main focus of my photography is that of intimate connection. This is for anyone who is interested in exploring themselves vulnerably, connecting with themselves or a partner in a private and sensual way. This intimate space highlights the tension of softness and power. I make sure to create a safe, comfortable and respectful environment for these shoots as they are collaborations that require trust.
emotion on film
I shoot intentionally. I want to get to know my subject and create a relationship so that the experience is more of a collaboration. Learning with a film camera taught me that this was most crucial to the process. It allows me to slow down and be truly present with each subject/client. Even when shooting digital, I utilize this skill of presence and patience.
