Couple of Coral Bay favorites from the last few months…happiest playing mermaid everyday, hanging out with the best locals on the reef and snapping some pics along the way ✨🐠🦈

Bucket list animal on any Blackwater dive 🫶✨

Lucky at the very end of our dive I saw a huge cloud of ink in the water and in the middle of it a flying purple back squid! These guys get a little stunned after releasing ink so was the perfect time to admire and take some photos while it just hovered in front of us in the water.

Definitely the most unique, spooky and unforgettable dive you can do in Kona!

#blackwater #blackwaterkona
While I would have been grateful just to see one manta at the Kona manta night dive…. It was pretty damn magical to share the water with 20+ of them every night this past week ✨🥹🤩

While no photo will be able to really capture what all the manta madness was like, here’s a few of my favorites as a slowly edit through the hundreds more images. It’s just one of those dives that of course gets hyped up on social media but it deserves every last bit of it.

Always a highlight of the trip thanks for making it happen!
The most unforgettable day of the year so far and got to share it with my mom, a pod of pilot whales, wandering albatross; & the newest member of the Bremer orca family, Fin!

The longer I’m in Australia the more places I’ve seen that are truly out of this world 🫶✨
Kicking off Niihau season with 🫶🐠🦈 located a few hours off the shore of Kauai is some of the best diving in the Hawaiian Islands. From plenty of sandbars, monk seals, steep drop offs, unique topography, and insane vis it’s always an epic day. Not to mention theres always the possibility of seeing larger pelagics 👀.

Thanks for having me!!
What’s better than bow riding dolphins?? Nothing, absolutely nothing 🫶🥹

We set out to see the Napali coast and were led by multiple pods of Hawaiian spinner dolphins in the glassiest water. The dolphins here are just so curious and playful, even flipping on their bellies and tail slapping the surface!

Onboard
Pregnancy has kicked my ass! I hate feeling like I can’t do everything I was able to do and being so tired all the time. Back aches, swelling, migraines, puking… you name it! 😅 but getting in the water once in a while makes me forget all the pain and discomfort and gets me all excited knowing that one day I’ll get to share this with my daughter! I can’t wait to show her the underwater world. 🐟🌊🦈

Thank you for capturing these sick shots!
Some spots still open for my November/ December trips to the Magdalena Bay Sardine Run. Over the past 5 years working on the ocean and getting to travel to a lot of my bucket list destinations, this one is by far the most memorable. Just the amount and diversity of megafauna we were able to find each and every day was a little mind blowing and incredibly special. Especially if you are a photographer there is endless subjects to shoot and if your not that’s what I’m there for! 😆

Trip 1: November 22-November 26
Trip 2: November 27-December 1

Only 5 spots available to ensure a comfortable experience and to get the most intimate interactions with wildlife.

DM me for the full info packet or to sign up! 🌊
2025 was one heck of a year and I can’t believe it’s nearly over! From the thousands and thousands…and thousands 😆 of photos taken from these past 12 months here’s a look at some of my absolute favorites.

Always feel extra grateful for this life and job around this time of year, getting to reflect on all the experiences the ocean has allowed me to witness. Can’t wait to see what 2026 brings!

Some gear that helped me get all the shots 😊😊
Currently at home getting some downtime inbetween travel and that means going through allllll my stuff that didn’t fit in my backpack 😅 that includes my vision board from 5 years ago.

At the time I had just graduated college at the start of lockdown, living at my moms house with no idea what my future would look life. So as one of the many random activities we took place in during this time I made this vision board of what my ideal life would consist of. Little did I know that a few years so many of these visions would become reality 🥹💙

Made a new vision board today so let’s see what more we can manifest!
