Events

Find me at the Friday market in the hotel's Hawaiian Garden with fine art prints, matted prints and greeting cards of Maui — landscapes, whale season and big-wave surf.

100% of profits from my whale and surf images go to the Maui Whales & Ocean Tales project. Free to visit — come talk story.

A free, open 30-minute talk story on Zoom. Pull up a chair and talk whales with me: the Maui Whales & Ocean Tales project, what we're seeing and learning on the water, whale stories, big-wave surf, and whatever you're curious about.

I want to hear from you, too: what excites you about whales and the ocean, and what you'd love to see more of this season. Free and open to everyone.

Guests join Emily for an intimate 45–60 minute session in which she shares some of her most powerful images, from the Arctic to the African savanna, and invites the audience to explore what emotions and stories they see and relate to the wild on a different level.

The session is conversational and immersive: Emily asks guests what they feel, what the person in the photograph might be experiencing, and what the landscape itself seems to be saying. She then takes the audience into the heart of each story: the deep stillness of a Mongolian eagle hunter, the quiet dignity of a solitary elephant, the raw vulnerability of hovering above massive Hawaiian surf.

Through storytelling, Emily reveals the conversations, silences, and moments of recognition between herself and her subjects, those instances when barriers dissolved and something deeper was shared. Guests leave with a new way of seeing both photography and their own relationship with nature.

This speaking presentation is part of the collection of Emily's anticipated Fall 2027 book. Prints from the presentation will be available to buy in the theater.

A free family story time and presentation celebrating marine wildlife and ocean conservation with author Monique Fallows, including a reading of the Salty Sea Dog book, a conversation with marine enthusiasts, and coloring pages for kids. The first 20 families receive a free book.
