classic. bright. genuine.

Ko Olina family sessions are my JAM.

I pride myself on quality and experience. I work hard to “do it right.” From the first contact form to the final gallery delivery, we are a team. You’re not in an assembly line of clients. Rather, I love to get to know you so we can work together to create images you'll love and cherish for years to come.

aloha!

I’m Steph

I’m so glad you’re here! I know it may be overwhelming to wade through the countless photography options in Hawaii. With all of the different packages, editing styles, and choices out there, it can be a challenge to narrow down who’s a good fit. And don’t get me started on the worry about how to feel comfortable in front of the camera!

Been there. Felt that. I understand. And I can help!

Capturing real moments.

I believe that  photography sessions should be easy. Relaxed. No stress. I understand it’s not natural to smile at a piece of machinery, so that’s why I don’t really think we should. Sure, we’ll take some still posed shots, but my favorite pictures are the in-between moments. The ones that are natural, unposed, unscripted. Real and genuine. (But don’t worry - I’ll help you with those, too!)

I choose to edit in natural, light, film-inspired tones. You and your family are beautiful. And that timeless, true-to-life beauty should shine through in your images. Let’s get started!

I have a confession to make. After this photo session, I just HAD to ask this mama where she got her skirt. I'm totally not a dress person, so skirts are about as fancy as I'll get. Yep. This skirt is in my closet now. (I'm happy to lend it out s

Parents. You’re always the ones capturing the memories—the ones behind the camera, snapping all the little moments of your kids’ lives. 💛 But when you book a family session with me? It’s my turn to capture YOU in your memori
Did you know one of the best things you can do at a photo session is just pretend I’m not there? Tickle the kiddos, “Simba” them into the air (please tell me you get that reference 😉), and just run around and have FUN. Because he
"Hey look! It’s me, Steph. 😁 I took a little accidental break from socials because, well, I’m terrible at it. 🙃 But I’m still here— starting many days at sunrise sessions, wrangling active kiddos into family photos, an
