Hi, there! I'm Kauri.

(Pronounced “Cory”)


I’m a Tucson-based professional photographer specializing exclusively in on-location headshots and portraits for professionals and businesses. My passion is helping people feel confident, seen, and truly themselves in front of the camera—all without needing to step foot in a studio.


My Story

Before photography, I was an oil painter—and have been an artist for as long as I can remember. I first picked up a camera to take reference photos for my paintings, but what started as a creative side project quickly became my calling.

What surprised me most was how much I loved working with people, not just for them. After years painting alone in a studio, I found joy in the human connection photography brings. Now, instead of capturing fleeting moments for families and weddings, I’ve narrowed my focus to something I truly love: helping professionals show up powerfully and authentically in their portraits.


My Approach

I bring the professional experience to you—whether it’s your office, a job site, or another location that reflects your personality or brand. No cookie-cutter poses. No stiff studio setups. Just real, confident portraits designed to help you connect with your audience, team, or clients. I aim to create a relaxed, encouraging environment so that even the most camera-shy clients feel comfortable and walk away with images they’re proud to share.


A Bit More About Me

  • I’ve been married to my 5th-grade crush for five amazing years
  • We’re raising 2 seriously adorable kids
  • When I’m not photographing, I’m writing songs, painting, or singing on the worship team at church
  • I consider it a gift to blend my creative passions with my work—and to serve my clients with care, attention, and excellence
