Aloha! My name's Kai, and I'm your photographer!!

I believe that a picture can tell a story. Through photography, my goal is to freeze the moment so that you can look back on it forever. Every photo holds a moment in history that you lived through, and I'm here to give you a memory that you can pass down for a lifetime.

A little about me:

 I grew up in the Carolinas and I'm so grateful I can capture its beauty! I'm Hawaiian, Filipino, and Hungarian and my favorite food is Musubi! I spend my free time with my family and boyfriend Mark, who helps me with sessions and is currently training to be second shooter for me for weddings in the near future. I have a 4 year old malshipoo named Bambi and I've been singing and playing guitar for as long as I can remember! I started performing originals at restaurants, bars, music festivals, etc. when I was 14/15 and released music as well. I performed at the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville and made it past my two audition rounds on American Idol. But when we planned on moving to Nashville to further pursue my music career, God called me into a different light and I pivoted. I stepped into a worship focus and rediscovered my love for photography. And now, here I am! I love Jesus above all else and I pray that He would always be exalted through my work!
