I’m Kimiko!
I’m a Japanese, Native Hawaiian photographer born and raised on the island of O’ahu, Hawai’i. I specialize in couples, maternity, families and elopements. Let’s cut to the chase. You’re here because something about my work spoke to you! I can’t wait to meet and hear your story!
what inspires me
The quiet kind of love that says everything, and the kind of connection that speaks without words. I find beauty in the unnoticed. The hush between laughter, the gravity of a glance, the delicate honesty in touch. These are the moments that speak loudest in my images.
What inspires me is the raw, unfiltered emotion woven into everyday moments, all the in-betweens, the stillness, the spark. It’s not about posing; it’s about presence. Capturing the way love feels; real, tender, and timeless is what drives every click of my camera.

What people are saying

“My fiance and I had a wonderful time with Kimiko. I was pretty nervous leading up to the day of because I don’t take professional pictures often, but Kimiko was incredibly sweet and made the both of us feel so comfortable. Time pretty much flew by and we had so much fun. The pictures turned out amazing and we couldn’t be more thankful. We are 100% going to book with her in the future. :) thank you so much, Kimiko!”
