started expressing herself through self-portraits at the age of fifteen and her passion for telling stories and capturing emotions only grew from there. She started seeing the world around her in a new way, notice the light and beauty in the hidden places. She has been photographing memories from major life events like weddings to simple everyday joys of families for over ten years.
Finding beauty in all the little details of everyday life.

OUR STORY
Kristy is from a little country full of hills and fields and forests in the centre of Europe called Czech republic. But she followed her heart and married a curly haired guy, Joshua, from the golden state of California and home is no longer one place on a map. After we got married we moved to Hawaii, and we call the island of Maui our home for now. From the heart of Europe to the heart of Pacific.
Our lives were forever changed by having our family grow, with one tiny one that we never got to hold this side of heaven, and two little ones keeping us busy and bringing smiles to our faces everyday. We value connection and prioritizing the things that last forever and go beyond this lifetime.
OUR VISION
to inspire people
to live better stories,
as we try to live
a good one ourselves.
Our desire is to capture honest & real moments.
To tell stories in photographs that will be treasured in years to come. We want to go on an adventure with you, we want our session to be a great memory, we want to capture your special day in a way that lets you be fully yourself. We desire to create things that last and have meaning. To help people pause and appreciate what they have. Slow down. Breathe. We want to capture the in between moments, the ones you barely notice but that have a special depth to them. We want to escape the ordinary. We want to find beauty even where it's hard to find. And we want to inspire people to live better stories, as we try to live a good one ourselves.
