Aloha, it's Divine!

Welcome to my little corner of the photography world!


I believe life is made up of little moments that deserve to be captured and celebrated, and that’s exactly what I’m here to do. Whether we’re chasing golden light on a beach or capturing the joyful chaos of family life, I’m all about creating a space where you feel seen, celebrated, and completely at ease. Let me take you behind the lens to share a bit about myself and the heart of my business.

let's start from the beginning...

It all began when my sister needed senior portraits. She asked me to take them, and I happily obliged, not realizing how much I’d fall in love with the process. Growing up, I was inspired by my parents, especially my dad, who played a huge role in shaping my passion for media and creativity. I would watch him shoot short films, edit videos late into the night, and dedicate his time to our church’s media team. His encouragement and example pushed me toward starting this business. Then I started helping with family weddings and get-togethers. Seeing their confidence shine in front of my lens and capturing those genuine, heartfelt moments sparked something in me. From then on, I knew photography wasn’t just a hobby—it was a calling.


Encouraged by that experience, I began capturing memories for others and officially launched my business in 2022. One of my most popular photography packages is named after my late grandmother, Maliumai, who had a profound impact on my love for preserving memories. She was known for saving countless family photos and curating beautiful albums for us to look back on. She understood the importance of capturing the moment, and her dedication to preserving our family’s story inspired me deeply. Though she may be gone, her legacy lives on through this business and the photos she left behind for us to cherish.


The name “In His Image” was actually my dad’s idea (shoutout to him!). Rooted in the truth of Genesis 1:26, it serves as a beautiful reminder that we are all fearfully and wonderfully made, created in the image of God. My mission is to reflect that truth through my work—helping you see yourself as God sees you: beautiful, cherished, and uniquely you.


“Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over [a]all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

Genesis 1:26 NKJV

Get to know me!

I’m a 22-year-old Polynesian woman born and raised on the beautiful island of Oahu. My culture, my Christian faith, and my family are at the core of who I am, shaping the warm, inviting spirit I aim to bring to every session. Growing up in a big Polynesian family with my sisters and little brothers taught me the value of love, support, and hard work, all of which have shaped me into the woman and businesswoman I am today. My faith is not just a part of my life—it’s the foundation of everything I do, guiding my purpose and inspiring my work.


I’m also a proud mama to my sweet son, Hezekiah, who inspires me daily to chase my dreams and savor life’s precious moments. I’m incredibly blessed to have my partner, Kealii, by my side. He supports and helps me tremendously with my dreams, and together we make a great team, building a life rooted in faith, family, and love.


My love for storytelling led me to major in Digital Media and Film in college, where I learned to combine technical skill with artistic vision. Over the years, I’ve had the honor of working with more than 100 couples and families, capturing everything from intimate elopements to joyful family milestones. While Oahu is home, I’m always ready to travel wherever your story takes us.
