I’m Cynthia, a portrait photographer on Maui.

My work is a privilege, Maui is a blessing, and capturing the love of family is an honor.

Originally from Tucson, Arizona, I hold a BFA from the University of Arizona and both an MS and MFA from Brooks Institute. Since moving to Maui in 2015, I’ve been inspired by the island’s natural beauty to create timeless portraits that celebrate life’s most meaningful moments.
