Shortly after graduating from Western Michigan Univ., I moved to Hawaii. I have formed a connection to the water and the surrounding environment. I feel very blessed to have such a beautiful backdrop to work in.
What I do?
As a photographer, I focus mostly on shooting weddings throughout Hawaii. I do also shoot as a portrait photographer and have worked with a number of other local professionals. When working with my clients, I like to get a great feel for who they are and what it is they envision. I believe that it is the personal connection that makes their experience incredible.
Why I do it?
Shooting is what I love to do. The photography business never feels like work to me. I absolutely love the photographic opportunities presented shooting weddings and couples portraits. There are a great deal of different emotions and expressions. Weddings present opportunities to take pictures in every direction one looks. It also provides me the great pleasure to become a part of my clients experience and make great friends in the process.
How did I get started?
I started shooting landscapes with a camera given to me by my mother upon graduation. Moving to Hawaii presented me with the ability to shoot every day. After a while I noticed that I really enjoyed photography but there was something missing. I had an opportunity to photograh distinguished guests at a corprate event and liked the interaction. Shortly there after I learned that I really enjoyed the chance to work with and photograph people. From there I got into shooting portraits and weddings. I love what I do.
