Meet Christian in Kona

Aloha! I’m CJ, a fifth-generation island-born local based in Hawai‘i and beyond. I’m here to help make your time in paradise unforgettable, both on and off camera. Whether you have questions about hidden gems, local customs, or the best eats, consider me your go-to resource for an authentic island experience. My mission goes beyond capturing beautiful photos of you and your loved ones. I’m passionate about sharing the culture and everyday lifestyle of Hawai‘i through the lens of a modern local perspective. Fueled by a love for solo travel and a deep sense of adventure, I specialize in connecting couples, families, and individuals with the vibrant, ever-changing landscapes of Hawai‘i. My work

Three Things

  1. Adventure is my middle name. If I’m not traveling abroad or serving clients, you can find me hiking, chasing waterfalls, freediving in caves with marine animals, and pushing my adrenaline boundaries. Outside of outdoor activities, you’ll find me spending “quiet time” singing and songwriting with my musical instruments and in my free time being with family, friends, and our puppies on our 100-year-old, 9-acre family coffee farm.
  2. My camera of course! 📸
  3. I’ve been to 33 countries (and counting) traveled almost completely solo.
