Hi, I’m Mariah!
I'm a fourth generation photographer, videographer, and licensed drone pilot dually based in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi and Madison, Wisconsin.
My mother, her mother, and my great grandmother are and were all photographers.
Born in Hawaiʻi yet raised in the bucolic driftless area of Wisconsin, Mariah was raised in the creative home of a landscape photographer and a musician, and learned to chase light from a young age.
Mariah creates with the intention of longevity and she expresses that in the diverse ways she approaches light, drawing inspiration from nostalgia evoked through film.
Some of her favorite stories to tell are those of adventure, sustainability, indigenous presence, wellness and self care, and creative expression.
When she’s not taking photos youʻll find Mariah painting with oil pastels, immersed in sci fi and fantasy, being an absolute coffee nerd, dancing to live music, and cooking up a storm.
Thank you for being here! I look forward to bringing your story to light.

Land Acknowledgement
This Land Acknowledgement recognizes Hawai’i is an indigenous place whose original people are today identified as Kanaka Maoli, Native Hawaiians. The land in which I reside and where I conduct business are on the mokupuni of O’ahu, in the pae’aina of Hawai’i. I recognize Queen Liliuokalani yielded the Hawai’i Kingdom under protest to the United States to avoid bloodshed of her people, and honor the generations of Hawaiian cultural systems which have shaped this place in a sustainable way.
