MEET BLENDA

Born in Peru and rooted on Kauaʻi, I’m Blenda Montoro, a floral artist and photographer inspired by the beauty of nature.

After 10 years as a wedding photographer and creating fine art prints, I took a step back from weddings. During the pandemic, I began growing my own garden and photographing the flowers that bloomed. The more I grew, the more I fell in love with capturing their beauty.

Over time, that love naturally grew into creating handcrafted leis and floral arrangements. Be Love Hawaiʻi brings together my garden, photography, and art—things that have always been close to my heart.

Explore My Work

Garden-grown flowers, handcrafted with intention on Kauaʻi — from fragrant leis and seasonal florals to botanical art inspired by the garden.

My garden is where so much of my work begins. I gather what’s in season and create from there—leis, florals, and art, all made here on Kauaʻi.
