|| Shinrin Yoku || Many many moons ago I was captured forest bathing on Big Island. My presence + connection to nature never falters.

Announcing that I’ll be leaving island this evening

Trading ocean for mountains

I’ll be hiding in a landlocked state for once… can you guess where I’ll be?

See you soon my friends.

Have open hands around who you “think” you are.

Changing of self is inevitable.

Your looks
Your thoughts
Your emotions
Your abilities, even

Will change

While the power to mold yourself into all you desire, never will.

With encouragement from your photographer,
Wheatley Day

Reminder Today: Make peace with how what you do, create, build, write, put out into the world… may only serve someone for a moment.

Make peace with an ever brief timeline knowing that in one moment, you can change someone’s life.

One photograph.
One piece of advice.
One story.
One smile.
One hug.
One of anything
Offered in an unpredictably imperfect moment
Can change a life in unseen and unfathomable yet remarkable ways.

With encouragement from your photographer,
Wheatley Day

Nature is always welcoming you home to your wild, most authentic self…

Consider how the trees hold no judgment

How soles of the feet kissing earth acts as affection in primitive form

How being enveloped by water mirrors the fluidity of the womb that once carried us all…

The Story of Woman is that of skin and spirit that should never be shamed.

In honor of how every story began

bare, and eager for connection

I will continue to offer intimate, bo***ir sessions in natural landscapes;

A way to call us all home to our wild.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

Your photographer,
Wheatley Day

What can I achieve in 30 minutes of photographing with no instructions, no planning?

This.

Imagine what I could capture with you, after intentional planning and preparation.

If…
Poetry
Connection
Nature
Emotional Intelligence
Presence
Being
And Laughter
All resonates with you… then we should probably be working together.

Shoot me a DM when you’re ready. ✨

When you own a business on Oahu
And you want to align your aesthetic
With the mission and mindset of what you’ve created

The way you visually represent yourself can make or break what you attract.

That’s why I’m offering mini urban photoshoots, 30 to 45 minutes here in Honolulu, for businesses to either highlight the face of your business (a person / business owner) or product (articles of clothing like the dress picture here).

✨Packages range from 10 images to 35
✨Budget starts at $375, my most affordable package YET
✨Photos returned within a week, which is HALF my normal turnover time so that you can jumpstart a campaign or product feature ASAP

Dm me your email + the tag line “mini urban shoot” to receive a brochure on this style of session!

Sitting cross legged on a sofa, facing the warmth of a fire and surrounded by four legged friends (Sidney and Moses, the labs. And Grace, aka “cloud walker”, aka the wolfhound mutt)
I was told
“We have a gift for you”, and handed a box covered in glitter and Christmas trees.

I could tell by the sparkle in their eyes that this was going to be special…

And it was.

My first zoom lens.
My first chance to feel like I am in two places at once, both near and far.
Followed by my first ever photography tour at an ecosanctuary for Mustangs.

Hiding out in the plains of Oklahoma is a 4000 acre ranch committed to preserving the wild in their spirit, the wilderness in their bones— This is Mowdy Ranch.

This is where I fell in love with marshmallow soft noses.
Where I was hugged by faces larger than my head + torso combined.
Where I felt touched by something beautiful.

And it was all a gift.
It was all so unexpected.
Undeserving.
And appreciated.

I hope in some small way, you can enjoy what I experienced here through my lens, and be inspired to go see the natural world around you.

Thank you for being a part of my story telling journey. 📸

Poetry to take us into 2023 together.

The window of opportunity to work with me is wide open.

I can’t wait to see you land in your dreams.
I can’t wait to help you get there.
I can’t wait.

Your photographer,
Wheatley Day

Do you find yourself…
😤 Wondering why your social media engagement is low
🙈 Uninspired to post
😪 Struggling to share your story
🤢 Sick of making new content

Then let me introduce myself- I’m wheatley, and I am NOT your average brand photographer.

- I shoot outdoors in organic light, not artificial
- I work to draw out the organic smile you have, not the artificial
- I listen to your values and create around your passions… not the SUPERFICIAL

So that when you go to post
🔥 You feel authentic
🔥 You feel inspired
🔥 You bring in NEW CLIENTS that connect with who you are as a service provider / entrepreneur / business owner / brand.

Want to test the waters? You can book a free consultation to discuss your story, what you do as a business owner, and how I can help you tell the stories you need to CONNECT with your audience.

DM or email through my website to schedule. Anyone from Oahu or traveling to Oahu is welcome to apply.

Here’s a rare moment… the expression of a photographer that still doesn’t know she’s being observed.
—
There aren’t many photos of us, are there?

Though our laughter is always mirroring the person in front of our lens.

There aren’t many photos of us.

Though we take pride in how our essence
is connected to our sight,
which transmits through our lens
and is inevitably
developed
in all our shots.

… but there aren’t many photos of us.

So when there are, it’s a gift.

📸:Thank you to for capturing what doesn’t need to make me feel beautiful or warm and fuzzy- rather, it makes me feel entirely seen. Shadows, and light, and all.
