Kathy Boast was born in Washington, DC May 21, 1970. In 1972 her family moved to James Island (Charleston), SC until June of 1984. Her father's career moved the family 3 times before returning to Charleston in 1991 where she met her husband, Gene Tschudy. Besides Charleston, Kathy and Gene have called St. Mary's, GA and Honolulu, Hawaii home.
Kathy says she will never forget getting off the plane November 10, 1997 and taking her first pictures of Hawaii before she ever made it to baggage claim. Kathy developed her love for Hawaii and photography because of the people she met. "The people I met taught me the true meaning of ALOHA. Aloha is a spirit alive in each of us. When you find it, you will want to share it with everyone you meet. For me, I saw the beauty of Hawaii and wanted to capture it for the world to see. If I can help inspire one person to make a difference, then I have achieved my goal."
Kathy Boast has ALOHA when it comes to helping to share her talents of photography in the music world. Kathy shares a number of photos without charge to musicians. She has freelanced for alohajoemagazine.com since June 2000. Kathy's newest project includes a new stretch as producer of Aloha Joe TV.
Currently Kathy enjoys shooting Hawaiian landscapes and concert events with her Nikon gear. You may also find her out with her Sony or Flip cameras as well!
Kathy was the mother to one cute duck named Kalele as seen in the video below. (R.I.P. May10, 2008-2009)
Kathy found a new baby, Koa, who was a rescue duck who needed a good home. Koa doesn't share the same passion for human food as Kalele, but both are spoiled. Koa also doesn't like travel. Ducks really are like people, they can be very different even if they look the same!

Special Thanks to you...
Thanks to those using some of my images for school projects! I'm glad you picked Hawaii to be your state or wanted to write about sea turtles! You inspire me!
Mahalo to my photographer friends, for shooting (with) me and helping me to be a better photographer! Marlene and Dad Couch for all your ALOHA you give to me & for the gift of my first REAL CAMERA along with the belief I can do it. Danny Couch & Aloha Joe for needing photos for CD covers and the music. To my Twin (Michi Moore) it's been fun since we met lots of great people, places and events we've shot - and all of our Big Macs! To those who helped put the fire under my bridge, thank you! To Jack for helping me to get started building my first website in 2003! To my husband who puts up with my vampire hours.
