Honor the Legacy. Embrace the Moment.

Capture timeless family portraits that include your kupuna—the heart and history of your ‘ohana. Their stories deserve to live on through generations.

Photographs will outlive us. Yet, how often do you see mom in front of the camera; let alone grandmother or great-grandmother?

My guess is not often. There are likely years where the women you love have gone unrecorded. These beloved women will volunteer to take the photo or will say, "not me, get one of the kids." I know a mom's highest value is her family, yet she's not photographed with them very often. That's why I often ask clients if they want to share this with their mom-to give her the opportunity to record her beautiful legacy and to keep a part of that legacy alive forever.

Photography is capturing a moment in time that will never happen again.

Here's what I have come to realize about generation photo sessions: 

It is as much about having the time and space to spend together, to celebrate who you are and your love for one another, as it is about capturing beautiful photographs. 

All the while, we are creating wonderful moments together. We don't value moments... Until they become memories.

I want to create for you the family keepsakes you can pass down to your kids. Let’s chat about how I can do this with your Generations Session.

The thing about printed photos?

You can see them, frame them, make albums with them. You can create anything with them to hold in your hands.

You can explore the past before you were here, and you can relive the moments while you are here.

You can get to know the person looking back at you. Even long after they are gone.

My photographs and portraits of you allow you live beyond the era of Facebook, Snapchat and disposable smartphone photography. Beauty and longevity define the power of portrait photography, and I work hard to get my clients to leverage that potential.

Fine art professional photography becomes a family heirloom to be treasured for decades, well beyond our lives.

Someday you'll be turning the pages of your album with your child.

And you want to look your best for memories that will be with your family forever.

A Celebration of Life Session is a special way to honor your loved ones.
