My name is Clarice. I'm always lost for words when it comes to talking about myself. I guess that is why I always had a love for the arts...it was my way of expressing myself.

I'm originally from Hawaii, but raised right here in OC. Although, I love, love, love Kauai I do feel that OC is my home.

I spent most of my career as a graphic designer. Freelancing for many of the local ad agencies. Many say they see my design abilities coming through in my photographs.

When my son was born I had a local newborn photographer photograph him at 8 days old. I had no idea that what I saw would bring me to where I am today. After many years of studying and crafting my art I am here today as a newborn, maternity photographer.
