To the high school graduate, you are leaving your childhood behind & taking the next step in your life journey, whether you’re going to college or starting a new career. As a college graduate, you’re journey begins to adulthood.
Graduates, let me help you to create unique & creative images to cherish as memories of this pivotal time in your life! I want to capture your personality & I encourage you to bring props or items that may have helped you get through the hard times and the good times in your high school or college journey. If you’re a musician, bring your guitar or trumpet. If you love playing sports, bring a basketball or tennis racket.
Personally, I love the outdoors, especially at sunrise or sunset, the two times of the day when the light is so beautiful. Sunrise at the beach is a magical time, the first light of a new day & sunset the last light of the day. Here in Hawaii, we’re surrounded by beautiful pristine beaches & amazing hiking trails, the perfect backdrop for a senior portrait.

Aloha & a hui hou
iPhones & Android phones are great for taking quick snapshots, but a professional photographer in Honolulu can capture your personality & moments, but most of all seeing you at your best! I can help you with posing in a flattering way & with the help of a flash, if needed, I can add depth & dimension to all your Oahu portraits.
