Hey there! I'm Elijah—born and raised on the beautiful island of Kaua‘i. After college, I set off to explore the world, starting with Europe, where my love for culture, storytelling, and visual art truly came to life. What began as a passion for travel quickly evolved into a lifelong pursuit of documenting the human experience through photography and film.

While living and working overseas, I met my incredible wife, Michelle, in Mexico—and together, we’ve continued building a life rooted in adventure, creativity, and purpose. I'm the founder of an international photography company, and my work spans across cultures and continents. From documenting everyday life to creating visual narratives that celebrate people, places, and moments—this work is more than a career, it’s my calling.

I specialize in all kinds of photography—lifestyle, portrait, documentary, travel, and surf (I never pass up a good swell!). I'm inspired by real connection, natural light, and the stories that unfold when you're fully present.

My family, friends, and the people I meet on the road fuel my creativity. They remind me why I do what I do. Every frame is a chance to tell a story that matters—and I’m here for all of it.
