hi, i’m kira!
Before picking up the camera, I grew up in front of it. Photography was always a significant part of my family’s life. My mom was basically internet famous before it was even a modern career, and with my dad, they documented our lives through digital and film photography. It was a passion that organically grew into a business, and I’ve never stopped being in awe of their teamwork and entrepreneurship.
After almost a decade of photography experience, and working different full time jobs, I know I don’t want to stop taking pictures. It simply makes me happy. Not only does it have a sentimental place in my heart, but I’m overjoyed when clients tell me how happy my photos make them. A feeling where you see your faces (or products) through the display or upon receipt, followed by moments of sincere happiness. My goal is to accentuate natural beauty and capture authentic moments.
These days, especially with social media, insecurity and negativity can circulate our daily lives.. If all I do is make you feel confident, happy, beautiful or nostalgic through my photography, that’s the real win to me.
A little more about me…
I received my Bachelor’s in Communication and Business from the University of California, San Diego, currently freelance full time, and live in beautiful O’ahu, Hawai’i. Although, I’m still a Southern California girl at heart!
Some fun facts… I’m the oldest of four, hapa Filipina mixed English/Irish, love to surf my Vesso longboard.. flowers are my love language, plumeria & peonies being my favorites. I’m obsessed with all things food and travel (I mean who isn’t these days), and have a goal to go to all 7 continents and all 12 Disney theme parks! So far, I’ve visited 4 of the 7 continents and 6 of the 12 parks.
These are some of my favorite emojis 🌞🫧🌺✨🥥💕
What else? We’ll just have to shoot together and hang out!
Some of my favorite images [will] live on this site so please take a look! -Or in the meantime, as the buildout of this site finishes, head to my galleries page to see some recent client shoots.
Please contact me to inquire about pricing. Whether you’re traveling with little ones, eloping, proposing on island, hosting a party, or an expecting mother, I encourage everyone to invest in images that’ll last forever. It’s always worth it and something you’ll never regret.
My grandfather always encouraged me to “be strong & courageous.” I want to empower others to feel the same- so keep your face towards the sun, and let’s create something beautiful.
Appreciate your interest and I look forward to chatting more soon!
