Aloha!

‘O Francesca ko’u inoa! I am from Makakilo. I am a floral designer and Tahitian dancer here in Hawai’i, and I create photography and art inspired by Pacific life and culture.

My parents were great at taking photos, and both rubbed off on me!

My Dad got me a camcorder to record video skits,  wind-up cameras for everyday photos, an underwater camera for when I went bodyboarding, and later, another camera I used to document my Tahitian dance adventures and travels.

I also loved to draw, which my parents nurtured :)

My artful perspective has been influenced by my upbringing in Hawai'i, dancing, traveling, and working with florals.

 As a florist, I have artistically directed and styled photoshoots, and as time went on I thought, who better to bring a creative vision to life than me?

I love having the creative freedom to execute my vision!

I hope my photos resonate with your spirit, and remind you of a special place, person, or time.

Aloha, Francesca
