Love that feels like ART

For the artful and deeply in love  



Based on Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi, I photograph memories with a cinematic, movement-led approach, guiding with an artist’s eye while leaving room for real laughter, honest emotion, and the moments no one could plan. My work is for relaxed, trusting couples who love being in love, feel deeply, and see beauty differently.

Kind words

"Clare is truly one of the sweetest and kindest people we've had the pleasure of working with, which made our entire experience so easy and enjoyable. I stumbled upon her Instagram while searching for a post-ceremony photographer after my micro wedding in Oahu and I am truly grateful that I found her! From the moment we connected, she was so kind, professional, and made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. She captured both us and the beauty of Oahu so perfectly. We plan to visit Hawaii every year, and I would love to book future photoshoots with her whenever we're back. If you're considering working with Clare, definitely do it! You won't regret it. She did such an amazing job, We will cherish our photos forever".

"This was our family's first photoshoot ever. And as a mom of a toddler and a preteen, I know how challenging it can be to get kids to slow down, follow directions, and stay focused for photos. This was our first professional photoshoot, so we were a little nervous and unsure of what to expect. Clare made the entire experience feel so natural and easy. She never forced poses or expected the girls to be perfectly still; instead, she allowed them to play, laugh, and be themselves. The sweetest photos came from their genuine interactions and the little moments she captured so beautifully. Her patience, calm energy, and ability to make us feel comfortable truly made all the difference. We walked away with photos that didn't just look beautiful, but captured the love and personality of our family. We are so grateful for the memories Clare created for us".
