Authentically capturing equestrian stories on the Hawaiian Islands.
Aloha, friends.
In the heart of O‘ahu, where soft, golden sands meet verdant valleys, lies an equestrian paradise unlike any other. Living here is more than a privilege—it’s a daily embrace with the extraordinary. But, for island equestrians, finding someone who can truly capture the bond with our horses has been nearly impossible. Until now.
I’m dedicated to filling that gap, by offering high quality photography that mirrors the depth of your connection with your horse.
Equine Photography
For Island Equestrians
As Hawai‘i’s premier equine photographer, my journey with horses spans a lifetime, allowing me to bring an unparalleled depth of knowledge and empathy to every shoot. Although many photographers aim their lenses at more traditional subjects, my passion is solely focused on the unique and beautiful relationship between horse and rider.
Whether it’s the thrill of local horse shows or the serene moments shared in the barn, my mission is to deliver photography that authentically tells your equestrian story.

What Clients are saying
"As a very unphotogenic and awkward person, I love that she always has different ways to pose me and I'm always so in love with the results from the shoot."
Meet Rachel
Diving into the equestrian world nearly two decades ago, I discovered my creative eye—a knack for seeing the extraordinary in the ordinary, the epic in the everyday. My deep understanding of what equestrians want, combined with this unique perspective, allows me to capture not just images, but stories. I’m attuned to the angles that best celebrate your horse, the decisive moments for action shots, and even the subtle elegance of your tack. To those outside our world, these details might seem small, but to us, they’re everything.
