Aloha, I’m Katy!

I live, surf, and play on the rugged, magical North Shore of Maui with my partner, Shannon, and our rescue pets, Charlie (a 1-year-old poi [mixed breed] dog), Koi (a 9-year-old calico cat), and Bobbie (a 1-year-old tabby cat). When I’m not photographing my beautiful clients, I can be found surfing, hoop dancing, practicing yoga, and hiking.

Photography is more than a job to me.

It’s my passion, and I work hard to make that apparent in both the images that I create and the relationships that I build with my couples. 

I’ve spent many years working as a nurse caring for ill and dying people, and I know how important photos of life’s most precious moments are. Photography breathes life into the memories that we hold in our hearts. I do not take lightly the trust that you place in me to capture your legacy!

I am ready to welcome you to Maui, and to capture your celebration with aloha!

There’s NO SHORTAGE OF talented photographers on Maui! So, why should you choose me???

  1. I’m experienced! I’ve photographed more than 125 elopements/weddings and lots of portrait sessions (I’ve lost count on those!). I’ve continued my education in photography so that I understand how to pose and direct clients in a fun and stress-free way. I promise you that this is important, because as much as I love candids, posing is needed to round out a gallery.

  2. I will be more than an anonymous photography vendor to you. If you’re looking for a cookie cutter experience with one of the larger photography or wedding planning companies, I’m not it! I want to get to know you:  Where you're from, how you met, what made you fall in love, and why you chose the island of Maui to celebrate your love. I love sharing the joy of this stunning place with others, and I want you to leave the island having made a new friend.

  3. I’m legal! It’s unfortunate, but there are many photographers that are not operating legally on Maui. I’m licensed, insured, and I’m able to pull the proper permits needed for weddings and photo sessions on Maui.

  4. I go the extra mile to ensure that I meet your expectations. I strive to capture your love in a way that feels true to you, and I take on a limited number of weddings and sessions per year to ensure that each of my clients gets personalized attention.
