ALOHA & Welcome!
My name is Pristine
& I was born & raised on this beautiful island of Kaua'i
As a natural light photographer, I capture images without the use of artificial light or props of any kind during my sessions. I rely solely on the sun’s natural light, embracing its shifting hues and tones throughout each session. My love for this approach comes from its simplicity and authenticity—I use what nature provides, taking in what is around me and allowing it to shape each shot. The beauty of Kaua’i never ceases to amaze me, and I aim to preserve that in every image I create. From vibrant colors to the sky’s natural hues, my goal is to keep each photo as true to the moment as possible.
Timelessness is at the heart of my work. Before life got busy with kids, I did a lot of landscape photography, and I was always fascinated by capturing what is, rather than force what I wanted it to be. I found it captivating to find the beauty that already so clearly exists in front of us and capture it. Kaua’i is breathtaking in her own right; she doesn’t need enhancement, just careful observation. I strive to create photos that remain relevant and beautiful, by staying authentic and lasting for generations to come. I want them to feel as relevant today as it will for years to come; in its most honest form.
Things that I value:
- Creating a relationship with each of my clients
- Providing clear & consistent communication
- Adding in wardrobe, MUAs, florists, leis, etc
- Offering a large variety of locations that beautifully display the landscape of Kaua'i
- Allowing clients to feel comfortable throughout the process. Guiding them through poses, or allowing a more stand off approach.
