Aloha!
My name is Jess.
I am an over-documenter, and I take photos of everything.
Keeping a visual record of my life has been my way for as long as I can remember, and I have always had a camera in my hand. It started as a kid, when my bedroom walls were plastered floor to ceiling with 4x6 prints from disposable cameras. I've refined it a bit since those days, but the idea is the same: photograph everything!
I eventually became the default photographer for each of my friend groups, for my girls and their friends, and of course for my family. There are currently 141,091 photos and counting in my iPhone gallery. Suffice to say that for me, taking pictures is not just a profession but a lifestyle.
My passion for photography has organically developed into a career that I love. Being given the opportunity to take photos for people that they love is one of my greatest joys. I have photographed hundreds of families and no two sessions are ever the same! I love to bring out the uniqueness of each ohana and really let your personalities shine through.
I aim to capture families in a way that is familiar and natural. Traditional portrait poses are timeless, but it's the in-between moments I strive to capture: the laughs, the silliness, and the true to life interactions between each other. I want to deliver photos that will make you smile as you look through them for the first time & still again 10 years later.
Let's chat!
