We had the absolute best experience with Michelle in Oahu. From the moment we met her, she was so…read moreeasy to work with - calm, kind, and just someone who instantly makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera (which is not always easy). The photos turned out even better than I imagined. She didn't just capture how everything looked - she captured how it felt. The love, the little in-between moments, the natural joy of the day... it's all there. And somehow, she made the already stunning Oahu backdrop look even more beautiful. Also, shoutout to her patience because the wind was aggressively fighting my bangs the entire time, and she handled it so seamlessly without ever making it feel stressful or rushed. Genuinely couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. If you're even considering booking her - do it. The quality of her work and the experience she creates are both so, so worth it!

Michelle was super friendly, easy to work with, and made the whole process so comfortable. I love her soft, bright style of photography and our photos turned out exactly how I imagined--absolutely beautiful! Even after the photos were taken, she went above and beyond--helping with image fixes and being so patient with all my requests for help. These are memories we'll treasure forever. If you're in Oahu and looking for a photographer, I highly recommend Michelle!

She was so good with our almost 2-year-old daughter, and got her to feel immediately comfortable, which allowed her to laugh and smile throughout the shoot. She walked us through ideas for poses (we'd be so awkward otherwise) and captured our joy perfectly. We got both our sneak peaks and full gallery really quickly, and the final products were stunning! I would highly recommend Ella for any of your photo needs! She is a pleasure to work with, responsive, and highly talented!

Not only was she easy to work with, professional, and punctual, she is one of those rare people you'll meet in life who genuinely has your (and your wedding's) best interest in mind. Ella's package included an engagement shoot and she made the fantastic suggestions to go to a dog beach in San Diego (we live about 2 hours away). We received a big batch of amazing engagement photos and the best part was that she made the experience fun for us. My husband and I are usually very awkward, but with Ella, it felt natural to pose and just have a good time. Ella and her partner worked tirelessly at our wedding and we are so happy with our 800+ photos that we received. She was detail oriented, organized, but somehow made picture taking painless and chill. Her photos were bright, cheerful, and she captured the mood of our wedding perfectly. I'd hire Ella again in a heartbeat for any and all future photoshoots. She is absolutely amazing and you won't go wrong with Ella for your wedding.

Once on the beach she was such a pleasure to talk to just as a human being, and made taking pictures relaxing, she did such a great job with our two year old son (making him laugh) and me being pregnant (feeling comfortable in a see-thru flowy gown). She told me the pictures could take up to 2-3 weeks before we got them, and around week 4 I text her to make sure everything was okay, and the next day she sent us the pictures. I didn't want to to rush her because I did a lot of research on photographers and her aesthetic was so beautiful and worth waiting for, but was insanely relieved that all was good and gave us the pictures close to checking in. My only feedback to anyone working with Krystal is to give her the time she needs to do her job - it's worth every penny and minute! And when she delivered the pictures they were incredible. They turned out SO GOOD! I knew they'd be good but I still have no idea how she was able to capture some of the photos she did. These are priceless memories we get to keep forever thanks to her and I'm so grateful we were able to book Krystal for a maternity photoshoot. I will be contacting Krystal again for photos in the future for all our family events from here on. We love her work and want to say thank you!

From the very beginning, Krystal was incredibly responsive, kind, patient, and accommodating. When our travel plans changed a few weeks before our session, she effortlessly adjusted our time without any issue. During the session, Krystal made us feel completely comfortable--even though we're not natural "posers" or used to professional photos. We are absolutely in love with how our pictures turned out! The quality is incredible, and my husband was especially impressed that we received so many beautiful images to choose from. If you're considering photos while visiting Hawaii or need someone to capture a special occasion, family session, or couples shoot, we highly recommend Krystal. Thank you, Krystal, for capturing our 10-year anniversary trip so beautifully!

A week before we left, I contacted Mike to see if he'd be available to do a family photoshoot. He was super responsive, and everything was set up within a couple days. He recommended a time in the afternoon to meet for "golden hour", but we were a bit apprehensive about the time due to our baby's sleep schedule. Mike was very understanding and said we could play it be ear as the day gets closer. The day before, we decided to meet in the morning instead, which Mike graciously accommodated. The photoshoot itself was a very pleasant and seamless experience. Mike was very friendly and made us feel at ease. Newborns are not always the most cooperative, which Mike was very understanding about. We even went over the hour-long time limit of the photoshoot, which he said not to worry about. I also mentioned how I liked some shots he did with another family that I saw on his website, which he was happy to try to recreate with us!

Very dedicated and fun to work with. We really enjoyed our photo shoot! Thank you, Mike!read more

The last time there was anything professionally photographed in my life was my wedding....almost 10 years ago. Jeanne made our mini session so comfortable and was awesome with the kids!! Made them comfortable enough to laugh and play, which resulted in both wonderful professional shots and amazing candids. Her mini session includes 5 images with options to upgrade....I loved them all so much I had to get more! I'm very grateful for Jeanne's patience and upbeat attitude. She's got me looking for another occasion to have photos taken!! Maybe I can convince my hubs to remarry me (hint hint wink wink). If you are looking for a quick family session her mini sessions are great!! She's amazing and is great with animals and kids and kids who pretend to be animals!

The quick review:…read more Jeanne is communicative, professional, thorough, and fun! She makes people feel comfortable in front of the lens, and does an excellent job adapting to the occasion--for big groups and small. She is efficient so you can enjoy your wedding ASAP AND still get beautiful, timeless photos. Thorough review: Jeanne did our elopement during the pandemic, and our photos came out beautifully. We did a 1 year anniversary party/vow renewal/reception, so we definitely were going to have more people. Jeanne and I communicated what shots I wanted, who I wanted photos of, etc. Since we only had 30 guests, she came up with this brilliant idea to have her second shooter take portraits and candid shots of them. That way, their photos could be sent with our thank you cards. She also communicated the timeline beforehand, which I really appreciated. On the day of the wedding, she let us know when she was at the venue, and what time she would walk over to the hotel (the properties neighbor each other). She was prompt, professional, and always fun. My husband's family hadn't worked with her before, and she made them feel comfortable in all the photos she took of them. Based on our timeline, she had us take the family portraits after the ceremony. She was efficient, quick, and so funny. Everyone was smiling, we got through them quickly, and everyone was able to enjoy cocktail hour on time. It took about 1.5 months to get the edits back, and needless to say, everyone loved the photos. My father-in-law changed his Facebook profile pictures to the ones she took IMMEDIATELY. I think it's safe to say he liked them. I love how soft and dreamy the photos look. They're timeless and would look good anywhere. I love that the edits aren't too stylized and really captured how intimate and fun our event was. I would recommend hiring Jeanne for anything, really. Working with her is a delight, and I wish I could think up more special occasions for us to hire her... So I hope you will!

The reasons why we chose Bodhi to take our family photos: 1…read more He responded very quickly to our request for a quote (the same with a few other photographers). 2. He was able to fit us in his schedule with only a WEEK notice (the same with a few other photographers). 3. His quote was much cheaper compared to $500 from another photographer (who also wanted the $500 up front due to the short notice). 4. His website has TONS of family photos on the beach. One of our sons has autism and the other is a wild two-year old. Bodhi was fun, friendly, down-to-earth, and extremely patient with our kids. He was able to get their attention just enough for him to get some "formal" shots, even at 5:30 in the morning. We were hoping for at least a very nice family photo on the beach and we got a truly EPIC family photo on the beach (with some fantastic candid shots, too). What are you waiting for? Book Bodhi for your family photos today!

All of our pictures came out beautifully, and the post work he did is perfect- not to mention how quickly we received our pictures!

He has great vision and was able to tell us what would and wouldn't work, and got some amazing shots of us. I would recommend him for anything. We can't thank you enough, Bodhi- you are a phenomenal photographer and we are so thankful for your time with us.
