Aloha, I'm Gabi

Where it all began

I have had a relationship with photography since I was little. My dad always carried a camera with him anywhere we went and made me pose for him until he got the perfect shot. Sometimes it felt like hours and I used to complain so much, but now I am happy he did.

Later I bought my first camera at 14, spending all my childhood savings, which mostly came from collecting forgotten coins from the pockets of my unsuspecting family.

Finding my voice

At college, when I studied in Cyprus, I took a semester of studio photography and photojournalism. Working inside the studio felt too staged for me, but walking the streets of Nicosia and capturing moments that were about to slip into the past, yet I could freeze them — that is what I fell in love with.

Traveling the world, I also fell in love with landscape photography, but I missed the spark that only people can bring to a photo.

Life in paradise

So for the past four years, I have been a photographer in Maui, capturing families, couples, proposals, and elopements in one of the most beautiful places in the world. I am truly grateful to everyone who trusts me to preserve their special memories, and it would be an honor to do the same for you.
