A HAWAII PHOTOGRAPHER THAT SPECIALIZES IN CAPTURING COUPLE PORTRAITS, SERENE ELOPEMENTS, AND SMALL INTIMATE WEDDINGS

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME, MELLY!

I'm extremely social so when I go without seeing any friends for more than a day, I start going stir crazy. Maybe that's why I'm addicted to meeting so many new people and getting to know their stories through this business?! Anyways, I'm in love with this hobby I get to call "work" and I'm just so grateful for this beautiful journey photography has taken me on!

If I'm not working on my fun craft of photography, you can totalllyyy find me surfing with my two little precious boys that call me momma, spending quality time with my amazing husband, or spending time with our church and local community.

I am an inner child at heart who lives by playing hard and dreaming of the next epic vacay me and my family will go on! I thrive in fast paces and change which is why I'm always desperate to take a couple on a fun adventure, ha!

It's allowed me to connect to more individuals and learn about the uniqueness that God has given them. In my opinion, the more you diversify yourself through the people you meet, the more you learn about God! I've found passion and purpose in meeting people, photographing their stories, and showing off their confidence and beauty through photography.

Photography has always been important to me. It’s acted as an outlet more times than I can count.

"Melly communicated very well, and was very flexible and understanding. She’s very friendly, and makes sure to connect before taking photo’s so that it’s not awkward. It honestly felt like a friend of mine was the photographer. She even managed to get some photos of me and my spouse with our 6 month old in her arms! She was sure to ask if she got all the photos we had in mind, and even backtracked to take photos in an area I seen when we came in. She’s a great photographer and 100% worth it."

"Melly was so fun to work with on our photoshoot! She made me feel so comfortable and beautiful and made the whole experience very lighthearted and fun! I get nervous in front of a camera sometimes and feel very awkward but Melly made sure to make me laugh and encourage me to just have fun and be myself. The end result was absolutely stunning and I will cherish these gorgeous photos forever!"

"Melly was such a joy to work with. She is super flexible and was able to work around our crazy schedule. She is super funny and made us laugh the whole time. We had such a blast taking photos with her and she made our experience so memorable. She worked fast since we were on a time crunch and communicated so well through out the whole process. She seriously feels like a friend and I can't wait to do another shoot with her!"
