My love for photography began in high school, picking up first ever Canon camera. It quickly became one of my many creative outlets.
I was born and raised in Montana, and moved to Hawaii in 2019. It was around this time that I founded my own creative design studio, specializing in branding and web design—work that naturally evolved into brand photography, and later, portrait work with couples and families.
I believe connection is the most valuable thing we have, and I consider it a privilege to witness and document love in all its forms.
My path to photography started underwater. I grew up on Kauai with a deep love for the ocean, which led me into competitive freediving in 2016. I went on to set a national record in the sport, and eventually became an instructor.
It was during that time that I picked up my first camera to document my dives—and that habit slowly grew into a full career in photography.
I've found immense joy in photographing couples and families over the years, and feel very lucky to call this my work.
From the moment we arrived, Elijah made us feel comfortable, relaxed, and confident in front of the camera. The entire session was fun and effortless, and the photos turned out absolutely amazing. Elijah and Marley are both incredibly talented, and their creativity and professionalism really shine through in their work. We couldn't be happier with the results and are definitely doing more shoots with them in the future!
