Hi, my name is Grant! 

My passion for photography has allowed me to capture beauty all over the country. From leading a media team at a resort in the Adirondack mountains of New York to capturing Colorado to settling here on the beautiful Big Island, photography is my life's work!

I believe a simple photo can carry so much meaning, from the memory of the moment it was taken to the relationships of the people within it. I have spent years building my craft to capture the sincerity of every moment and its unique beauty.

When it comes to my life outside photography, I love being with my lovely wife, Eden, who is expecting our first child! We are soaking in these few months we have with it just being the two of us before the great adventure begins!

Eden and I have lived on the Big Island for three years and have enjoyed exploring its beauty and discovering all the unique hidden gems this place offers.

Our heart is to provide a joy-filled, genuine experience for you. We love building connections with people through photography. We believe that by creating a relaxed and fun environment you will feel the freedom to be your true self. We cannot wait to work with you and create art from your story!

Hi, my name is Emily! 

I've been doing photography for 16 years, and my love for it continues to grow.
 
Life is so beautiful and in a moment- the emotions, the environment, the loved ones around you, should be caught in a way that inspires joy, and can be cherished forever.

I am honored for the small amount of time I get with you to discover who you are and capture your unique beauty through special moments. My passion and experience with creating one of a kind images will ensure you will treasure these memories forever. 

Most days, you can find me keeping up with my 4 kids, ages 8, 6, and 3, and 6 months, at the beach with my family, or up at the Crossfit Gym! I am a woman of faith who loves Jesus, has an adventurous spirit, and a deep desire to see the world and show genuine hospitality and compassion to everyone around me.

Our family has lived in Hawaii for almost 7 years now, and though it is distant from my mountainous origins of Idaho, we are falling more in love with the ocean and our home here in Hawaii. I am passionate about my love and faith in Jesus, my gifted role as a wife and mother, and the opportunity to capture intimacy and authenticity in couples and families.
