I love that with The Department I make people look their best every day! It is so rewarding to know that I am giving them a tangible business advantage by creating a great portrait or engaging content. The relationships formed with marketing teams, event planners, and venues are also rewarding. I have worked as a professional photographer specializing in event portraiture for 11 years, and I appreciate seeing the growth in opportunities to share photography through social media.

Originally from Hawaii, I grew up surfing. My photography journey started at the beach around 15 years ago. Over the last decade, I have photographed over 1500 events and helped amazing brands create photo experiences for attendees. My mind is always thinking about logistics and I crave a good challenge. Whatever creative idea you dream up, I will enjoy figuring out the ideal solution for promoting your brand.
