KAYCE KIRIHARA

Built different. Moves accordingly.

WHATTHEKAYCE?!

Seattle holds a certain energy.
You feel it more than you can explain it.

Kayce Kirihara moves within that space naturally.
On the court. Around it. Beyond it.

Known as the in arena host for the Seattle Storm, her presence extends further than the role itself. There is a rhythm to the way she shows up — shaped by her background as an athlete, refined through her eye for style, and carried with a confidence that feels entirely her own.

This shoot is less about documenting that, and more about meeting her there.

A study in contrast.
Structure and ease.
Sport and expression.

Nothing exaggerated. Nothing forced.

Just an exploration of presence — how it’s built, how it’s carried, and how it translates across space.

Kayce exists in that in between.
And that’s exactly what makes it resonate.
