Photography started as a creative outlet for me, but over the years it has become more personal. Some of my favorite photographs are the ones that take me right back to a moment I had almost forgotten. I love looking through old photos of my girls. Sometimes they make me smile, sometimes they make my heart ache a little, but mostly they make me grateful that I thought to capture it.
Photographer, wife, mama of three, and lucky enough to call O'ahu home. As a mom myself, I know how quickly the seasons of family life change. The little hands get bigger, the missing teeth grow back, and somehow the babies who once fit on your hip don't stay that way for very long. That's why I love what I do. My approach is relaxed, heartfelt, and full of connection. My hope is that your session feels like time well spent together and that your photographs bring you right back to it.
When I'm not behind the camera, you'll usually find me baking sourdough or watercolor painting. Painting has become my favorite way to slow down and create. Especially after dinner with my girls. I bring my little travel set everywhere, often painting moments I've first captured on my Fujifilm.
More than anything, I love my family and I love Jesus. He is my constant, my peace, and at the center of the life I'm grateful to live.
"Firly is a fantastic photographer and captures the unforgettable moments with her talented skills. She recently took amazing photos for my husband’s retirement ceremony (and Christmas photos as well) and we will be able to relive this monumental occasion every time we view our pictures. She has a very creative eye and has remarkable timing. Her work is a precise example of the passion she has in her trade."
"Firly was really great to work with. Everything went smoothly and her turnaround was faster than expected.
Couldn't be happier with her work!
Definitely will be booking with her again in the future!
Highly recommended."
