Eleven years on Maui · All Hawaiian Islands
Aloha, I’m Jessie
Easy, lighthearted sessions where you get to be completely you.
Eleven years ago I moved to Maui on a whim and found home. I’m a little shy off camera — but behind it, I’m all in on your love story. My sessions feel less like a photoshoot and more like a golden-hour adventure with someone who’s rooting for you.

In their words
Kind words
“In planning our Maui elopement we wanted a photographer who used the island’s natural beauty and light. Jessie offered a number of packages, guided us to a coordinator, and went above and beyond capturing every detail — she far exceeded our expectations.”
“Jessie did a fantastic job with our engagement photos! She held down the prime spot for us on the beach, was super responsive coordinating everything, and got the photos back to us really quickly.”
“Jessie was an amazing photographer! My fiancé and I had just gotten engaged while vacationing in Maui, and she rearranged her schedule to fit us in. She made us both feel so comfortable and captured our true connection.”
“Jessie made sure we knew exactly where and when to get the best anniversary photos on our trip to Maui. Perfect sunrise photos — even better than imagined — and her fun personality made the whole shoot enjoyable, not awkward.”
“So beyond happy with our photos! She made everything seamless — especially coming from CA and not knowing the shoot spots, directions or parking. So easygoing with our 3-month-old, and I love her natural editing style.”
“We wanted a family shoot with our newborn while our friends wanted maternity photos, and Jessie seamlessly coordinated both. She guided us through every step so we felt comfortable — especially with a newborn involved. The photos turned out stunning.”
“Jessie did an incredible job with our multigenerational family photos — and so graciously coordinated our family of 24: grandparents, parents, and 12 kids included! She made the entire experience so fun.”
“I told Jessie we didn’t want stuffy, posed maternity photos — and she came through! She sent a questionnaire ahead of time, had plenty of location suggestions, and used prompts to get us moving and laughing.”
“We are so in love with our photos and had the very best time at our session. She made us feel so comfortable and was so great with our baby boy. Words can’t describe all the positives I have to say about her!”
