We’ll craft intentional images that align with your brand, reflect your values, and connect with your audience—whether you're a solopreneur or leading a team.Capturing Generations: What Happens in a Legacy Portrait Session
These sessions are about more than posing. I guide your family through a meaningful, low-stress experience that honors connection, legacy, and laughter across the generations.
You deserve a photo experience where you feel comfortable, seen, and undeniably attractive. That’s where my proprietary PRISM Method* comes in: a step-by-step process designed to help you feel confident, expressive, and completely at ease in front of the camera.
The PRISM Experience
Portraits with Presence
More than just a photoshoot—this is a guided experience designed to bring out your most confident, authentic self.
Whether you’re updating your headshot, elevating your personal brand, or creating a legacy portrait for your family, the PRISM Experience helps you feel prepared, relaxed, and fully seen. Want to know what PRISM stands for? Learn more about the five-step process here.
What Is The PRISM Method?
PRISM is my signature 5-step method that blends artistic direction, styling, emotional alignment, and mindset coaching to create portraits that feel powerful and personal.
Every session is tailored to reflect who you are and how you want to be seen.
Who This Is For
• Professionals who need headshots that feel confident and genuine
• Solopreneurs and creatives looking to level up their brand image
• Families who want to preserve their legacy through generations portraits
• Anyone who wants portraits that reflect truth, beauty, and emotional presence
Why It Works
When you feel aligned, supported, and seen—you photograph differently.
You don’t just “take a good photo.”
You create a moment that shows the world exactly who you are.
As a portrait photographer in Honolulu, I specialize in helping people feel at ease in front of the camera—while creating artwork they’re proud to share for years to come.
Let’s Get Started
Ready to create portraits with presence?
No pressure. Just a conversation to see if we’re the right fit.

What Happens Next?
It starts with a phone call.
We keep things simple and stress-free. This is a quick 15-minute call where we get to know each other, talk through your goals, and see if we’re a good fit. If everything feels right, we’ll choose a session date and walk through what to expect.
Live on Oahu?
Let’s meet for coffee. I’m happy to come to you or pick a spot that’s convenient. No traffic stress. No pressure. Just a relaxed conversation.
How We Prepare Together
You won't be left guessing what to wear or how to prepare.
From wardrobe suggestions to grooming tips and day-of planning, I’ll guide you through it all. My prep process helps you show up confident and ready, knowing you’ve already done the work to feel great on camera. Need images for commercial applications? My background in graphic design gives me the chops to talk with your marketing and publicists to format how to shoot those images for your use. Print ads? Yard Signs for REALTORS™ ? Web Dev? Book Covers? I’ve been there, done that and got the T-Shirt.
What to Expect During Your Session
You’ll feel supported, not staged.
Whether you’re updating a headshot or gathering generations for a family portrait, I’ll coach you through natural poses and authentic expression so nothing feels forced. You’ll look like yourself at your best. I capture your images with the intent of creating a timeless, physical product that captures your vision for the session. Heirloom wall art, legacy albums, and multiple items you will treasure for years to come.
If it’s a branding or headshot session, we’ll review images together as we shoot. You’ll get to select your favorites during your session, and we’ll tailor expert retouching to where each image will be used—print, web, LinkedIn, social media, and more.
After the Session: Turning Images Into Legacy
For family sessions, we’ll schedule a private reveal. You’ll view a curated slideshow of your best portraits, and I’ll help you choose the ones that tell your story best. From there, we’ll design custom wall art and albums that are meant to last, not pulled from templates or automated galleries. When you see your images in print, they are more present, more meant to last. Not just a few seconds of scrolling on your phone’s small screen.
You can select from refined collections or build your own. Everything is designed for your space, your family, and your legacy.
Files are commodities. Artwork is heirloom.
For your Headshots and Branding Sessions, we will review your images with you in real-time. We can make decisions without delay as to what you want and where you need to go with the process.
Delivered with Care and Intention
Most photographers stop at digital files. I don’t.
I personally deliver your final products, help with placement if you’d like, and make sure everything looks as incredible in your home or office as it does on screen.
There are no minimum orders, no pressure to buy packages, and absolutely no cookie-cutter designs.
This is a full-service, customized experience from start to finish.

I typically book two weeks in advance for Generations Portrait Sessions. Headshots are more flexible.
Looking for Christmas photos for cards and gifts? Book your family session in August, September, or early October to have your products created and ready for shipping in November to get to Hawaii on time.

So happy you are here! I offer “Around The Island” sessions for your day. Our “Concierge Service” will create a custom adventure for you.
Because of our tropical chance of rain, book for the early part of your stay so we can reschedule before you depart f necessary.
Weekdays are your best bet, not only because my availability is greater, but also some of the top spots get really crowded on the weekends!

Whether it’s your home, corporate location or out and about on the lovely island of Oahu, you and I can find the best place to get you the best images.
Of course outdoor locations are dependent on the weather, so we will reschedule at no charge if Mother Nature is being testy.

Here’s the good news - even in the rainy season in Hawaii I don’t have to reschedule very often.
Book on a Saturday and we’ll keep the Friday and Sunday as options. That way we can make the final call the week of your session based on the most current forecast. Or we can even look at having a session in your home!
