destination photoshoot

When you leave paradise to get back to real life, you wish you could have a more special way to remember your vacation than just the pictures on your phone.

Your brand needs authentic photos for its next project, not just scenes that may or may not be your friend's screensaver. 

You've shopped at many Kirklands and Home Goods for the perfect decor artwork for your beach house, but nothing quite fit your style.

Does any of this sound familiar?

The right photographs can a living room into a portal to memories of paradise.

The right photos can transform "just another" apartment complex ad into an opportunity for luxury life on the coast. 

I've worked with everyone from travel agencies to travel fanatics who want photos of their favorite spots.

If you've made it here, you most likely have a special connection to Hawaii, and are ready for one-of-a-kind photos of the place you love so much.

Showit plans start at $24/mo, and Shopify plans start at $29/mo. If you have not already, you will also need to purchase a custom domain name.

Don't worry, you aren't alone - if you get stuck, I am happy to answer any questions that you have!

Yes. Your package includes website training videos to help you learn how to use your new site, and I will do my best to equip you with the skills needed to make updates to your site on your own. However, some clients do desire to have me handle website maintenance for them. My retainer fee for website maintenance is $100/mo.

Depending on your project, I will also be requesting photos and website copy/text.

10. WILL MY SITE BE MOBILE-FRIENDLY & SEO-OPTIMIZED?
11. WHAT IS YOUR AVAILABILITY?

I recommend Showit for photographers, bloggers, and other creative professionals. If your website will mainly be an e-commerce shop, I recommend Shopify. While there are many website platforms out there, I use Showit and Shopify because these platforms offer the tools needed to create a custom, high-quality site for a reasonable price. (And there's no coding required!)
