Hello. I’m Kay!
So you want to know the face behind the camera right? Of course!
I was born in Japan, raised in New Jersey, and now I live in sunny Ponte Vedra, FL (That’s by Jacksonville).
I have been a professional photographer for 10 years. As a branding photographer, I’ve helped executives, entrepreneurs, and coaches build a more confident online presence with scroll-stopping photos and strategic branding applications. I can help you do the same.
My belief is that the first impression is THE best opportunity to create anticipation, excitement, and trust. Memorable brands can only be created with vision, strategy, and creativity.
With my technical skills coupled with an eye for artistry, I can capture the essence of you and your business in every image. I can also conduct one-on-one brand evaluations to help businesses like yours expand their reach.
Having people remember your business is all about positioning yourself as an advocate of your brand.
Let me help you do just that.

Testimonials
"She truly wanted to help me get the most out of our session. She was incredibly organized and thoughtful through each step. She helped me plan out every detail- from shots, props, and outfits- all while keeping my brand in mind. During the shoot, she went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and at ease (photos are out of my comfort zone). She was also really great at giving me direction and feedback. Kay was an excellent communicator from day one and even after my photos were finalized."
