Meet Samantha in Kona

I was born and raised as a Big Island local girl with a love for travel, food, and all things adventurous! If I'm not behind my camera, you'll find me playing at the beach with my husband and 5 year old daughter with our 2 French Bulldogs. I have a flair for dramatic and passionate images. My best work comes from the sessions where I can allow the client to be themselves and to just have FUN!

    Favourite Place to Shoot: I absolutely love the Puako area. There are so many little hidden gems with beaches, tidal pools, and views of the mountains.

Three Things

  1. I love to just simply enjoy my hometown of Waimea. I love going to the Farmer's Markets, catching up with old friends at the local coffee shop, going for a hike to a hidden waterfall and hitting up FORC Restaurant for a "Pau Hana." Also, I'm a foodie. My husband is a professional chef. So I know ALL of the good spots on the island, just ask.
  2. I would not be able to live without sparkling water. I need sparkling water more than air!
  3. I've been on a Bravo reality show before and I also went to college in Seattle for Acting.

Samantha was communicative and was well prepared for the surprise proposal! She was very easy to work with and did a great job with amount of time we had especially with the sun setting soon. We would be more than happy to hire her again and highly recommend her!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Samantha for our pregnancy announcement photos, and she was incredible! She took the time to really understand my vision and was able to bring my inspiration board to life in a way I couldn’t have imagined. The photos are stunning, and her attention to detail and creativity made the whole experience so special. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who truly listens and captures the perfect moments!
