Meet The Dreamer
“Aloha all, I’m Sandra, a dreamer guided by the winds, waves, spirit, and colors of Maui, and a Hawaii-based photographer who brings imagination to life through portraiture.”
I create luxurious photography experiences that transform your ideas into dreamy, imaginative, and flower- or prop-filled portraits, blending classic portraiture with artful, creative visual images.
Step into my world and enter the Imaginaria portal, where play, creativity, and emotion come alive. Together, we design wardrobe, styling, props, and whimsical environments, making each session a collaborative adventure where your personality and imagination lead the way. Whether your vision is playful, romantic, conceptual, or fantastical, every image is designed to be expressive, meaningful, and worthy of fine art display in your home, workspace, or advertising.
I am a self-taught photographer, shaped by curiosity, experimentation, and a deep love of visual artistry. My creative journey has taken me from Australia and Japan to the islands of Hawai‘i, where nature, light, fashion, flowers, and color continually inspire my work. I am influenced by Jungian dreamwork, symbolism, and creative concept design, blending realism with imagination to create portraits that are unforgettable, playful, heart-fulfilled, and enchanting. Whether it is romance, a couple, elopement, anniversary, a milestone, or your personal unique story, I will guide you, mindfully to show it off authentically.
I also work under contract with Island Maui Mermaids, creating professional fantasy imagery where clients may choose to be a mermaid, merman, or part of a mother–daughter mermaid experience. These sessions combine fantasy, performance, and portraiture for magical and memorable results.
Behind the lens, my approach is intuitive, playful, and supportive. With Imaginaria, my goal is simple: to create images that spark playful, heart-fulfilled enchantment, turning your adventure in Maui into fine art portraits you will treasure forever.
