Aloha!

My name is Kililea Kaho'ohanohano... Long name, I know; most people know me by Kili. I'm a photographer based in Kitsap County, Washington, and I'm so happy you're here! I was born and raised on the island of Maui, Hawaii, where backyard beach views and waterfall hikes were as normal to me as trips to the grocery store. I am a giant bookworm, I love crafts, and have an unhealthy obsession with anything sweet or baked. As the middle child of 3, and the only girl, I grew up doing everything with my brothers: fishing, diving, surfing, paddling, pretty much anything that had to do with the water. My love for the Outdoors has continued to grow as I share it with my husband and daughter, and adventuring with my family is a must in this state.

I got my first camera when I was 8 as a birthday present from my dad. (Granted, it was a Monster High Camcorder, but hey... it was a camera.) And for the next few years, you would never find me outside without it. I became the designated family/friend photographer, and I loved every second of it! This passion has allowed me to meet so many new friends and capture life stories. I take pride in being Native Hawaiian and allow that to shine as one of the many defining traits in my Business, and as a Photographer, allowing me to bring the Aloha to every session!

Although Hawaii will always be my home, I've come to fall in love with the different types of nature Washington has to offer. Going from beach views to calm bays, and waterfall hikes to mountaintop lakes, I'm excited to call the PNW my new home and to capture your everlasting moments in my journey. While I mainly work out of Kitsap County, I am a Freelance Photographer that has worked with Clients up and down the PNW Coast.
