Portrait Photography

I have been a professional Maui photographer for 6 years. I learned of my passion for photography and capturing the perfect moment and composition while traveling across the globe. A photo can instantly bring you back to that moment, that memory, and the amazing time you had on that trip. I treasure my photos from all over the world because of the stories they tell and the way I felt traveling through that city. So I don’t want you to miss the opportunity to capture gorgeous images during this unforgettable trip to Maui.

If you are entrusting me as your Maui photographer during your Hawaii vacation, I am truly honored and grateful to be invited into your family and partnership dynamic. I promise to keep the photo session moving and flowing so you don’t even realize you’re here for a photo shoot and feel like you’re just hanging out with a friend.

If you need and recommendations on things to do or places to eat, I have plenty of advice and am happy to share my island favorites! Mahalo for considering me as your Maui photographer and I hope we can make some magic together!

Digital Marketing & Social Media

I founded Coconut Creative HI amidst the uncertainty of 2020. I had been shooting portrait, event, and business marketing images professionally for years, and I wanted to use my experience to help in a way I knew how. With all of the people gone to take beautiful photos of, I turned to product, business, and lifestyle imagery. I was determined to utilize my photography skills to boost sales for the small businesses I know and love on Maui. I’ve lived on this magical island for 10 years now. I want to see our local economy thrive so I love helping businesses succeed in any way that I can.

I graduated with a Bachelors in Psychology, with a minor in Social Media Marketing. I landed my first Social Media Management contract in 2014 for a local restaurant and continued to gather more clients from there. In 2017, I moved into the hospitality space and eventually into photography and business management.

I found my way back to Social Media Marketing in 2021 when I bought MauiAccommodations.com from my aunt, which uses social media as a primary driver for website traffic. I’ve learned the tips and tricks to succeed in today’s social sphere for a business, and have began outsourcing my services to other local businesses like Hawaii Web Group, Kai Kanani Sailing, and Ali’i Resorts. My true joy can be found in video creation, which is exactly what the social channels require in order to succeed these days!

Let me take the dreaded social media tasks off of your plate, as I do truly enjoy content creation and helping local businesses flourish on Maui!
