I grew up in snowy New York but eventually followed my love for the ocean to Hawaiʻi. I’m about to graduate from Hawaiʻi Pacific University with a degree in Communication Studies. I got into photography during COVID after buying my first camera.
Traveling is one of my greatest passions—My favorite trip was to Japan, where I got to capture everything from temples to busy streets. I shoot with a Sony RX10, which has been my go-to for both travel and everyday moments.
Moana Mae Photography comes from my love for the ocean—“Moana” means ocean in Hawaiian, and “Mae” is my middle name. I’ve always loved the ocean and all the creatures within it.
When I’m not behind the camera, I’m usually hanging with my dog, Zuma. Whether we’re out looking for shells, or just soaking up the sun, I’m always down for an adventure!
