Nikki does it all... she's got an amazing eye, easy to work with and she's got so much talent! We have done two photoshoots with our dogs - one studio and the other was a location shoot. She takes all the nervous jitters out and makes you feel at ease like you're just out hanging out with a friend instead of at a photo shoot. My dogs are the biggest tells when they can be themselves around a complete stranger that tells you something "HUGE"! It was as if they knew her for years giving her kisses ... my dogs absolutely will not do that at all especially not with a stranger! So when I say she's A-mazing ... she really is amazing both in front and behind the camera! Her photography skills are top notch! The quality you get is nothing short of spectacular! If you choose Nikki Jennifer as your photographer, you won't be disappointed! I would and will choose her over and over again

Nikki is absolutely incredible to work with! I've already done a few shoots with her, and each one…read morehas been amazing. Our most recent session was an on-location shoot in Manoa with my German Shepherd, and she made the entire experience so easy and enjoyable. The photos came out stunning--she truly does whatever it takes to get the perfect shot. Nikki is patient, accommodating, and committed to getting amazing results. Her photography isn't just photos; it's art. I even had one framed :) I HIGHLY recommend her!

Jana was responsive, punctual and engaging during the entire shoot. She made it relaxing and easy with her sweet and professional demeanor. She is easy to talk to as we discussed touchless payment, location and best time to take photos. Our pictures came out fantastic. We are very impressed and will use her again if we ever visit Hawaii. Thank you for your A+ work Jana!!

You've got nothing to lose, satisfaction guaranteed! Jana is an amazing talent & has great vision…read more We hired her to photograph our son's first birthday at Kids City Hawaii. Mind you, this was done 1 day before the party & she was my saving grace. She was so accommodating & so easy to work with. She really took the time to listen & learn what we wanted to capture from the day. She loves to work with natural light which I found very refreshing. Our photos came out looking very natural & she captured some amazing shots that we will treasure for our lifetime & beyond. It was critical that we have photos & videos to memorialize this event that so many people could not attend due to COVID. Jana helped us share this day with so many from afar & helped capture all the joy that was experienced, especially by our son Maddox. Book her today!

I've only had two interactions, one photoshoot, with her and I am so jealous of the next state that she gets to call home. Hawaii is going to be missing a wonderful family and absolutely extraordinary pet photographer. So you may know her for her beach and outdoor photos, but when I scheduled our session I asked for something very opposite. My husband is not much a photo taker since his whole life was recorded on camera and I really wanted to document nice family photos of our staycation. Also Komori (the real important one) is not an beach or outdoorsy pup unless he's at a dog park so I asked Ashley how she felt about shooting at a hotel we were staying at. I was so glad she was up and ready for the different environment. She's fun and professional and knows her way around bonding with pups that allows her to get the shot that everyone wants. Big eyes, silly tongue, double cheek kisses, everything you could ask for and more. I am truly grateful for her the and in awe at the effort that she puts into capturing every families important memories. The investment is so worth it over and over again.

This review is a little overdue…read more If you're ever wanting to do pet photography at an affordable rate then Crystal is the way to go! Her pricing is as low as $100 for 5 edited photos if there's a promotion running! You can also pick up extra photos from your gallery for $10 a photo too. I have two dogs that are polar opposites of each other. One is really friendly but super noisy and the other is reactive but listens well! I love that she is calm during the session so my reactive dog doesn't get excited. I honestly don't trust a lot of people to be around her because she's so unpredictable sometimes. The best thing of all is you can keep your dogs on a leash and she'll edit them all out for you. The leashes are honestly my biggest pet peeve. She's also done a photo for one of my friends that was really touching. She photoshopped a dog that recently passed away in the photo of their most recent dog. I thought that was really sweet of her to do!

She gives great direction so you can look and feel your best in front of the camera. Even brought me a few options to try & help me create the look I wanted. Since she grew up on island, one of her biggest strengths that sets her a part, is that she can help you find a unique location so your photos don't look like everything else out there. Once you start shooting with Ijfke it's obvious she has been doing this for yearsss. She is the amazing at making you look and feel your best! Thank you Ijfke!!!

Ijfke is amazing! We've been lucky enough to use her photography services a few times now…read more(maternity, family and extended family photos). Each time, Ijfke has been extremely professional (reliable, arrives early, knowledgeable about location options/lighting, etc) and yet makes you feel so relaxed and at ease. She's very easy to work with and is also very comfortable/sweet in working with kids. In addition to being great while taking photos, Ijfke has also been timely in getting the photos back to us. And we're always super happy with the finished product!

TL;DR: Working with Keri and getting professional photography for your dogs is an underutilized…read moreresource in life that (IMO) every dog parent should experience! When I worked in a doggie day care I saw Keri take all kinds of photos to be used for the daycare website. She was able to work with a plethora of dogs in one room and the final images turned out great! I didn't get to know/work with her personally but I was really impressed seeing the photos on the website; they really captured each dogs personality. Now that I have a dog, when I saw Keri's booth at the pet expo I knew there was no one else who could take the perfect photos of our family. As I write this, I just came home from our viewing session where we got to see the final photos and put in our order. THEY ARE AMAZING! They're even better than I could have dreamed! Our dog, Komori, is a very serious pup most of the time. He loves dogs more than people so trying to get him to smile during our session is like any parent trying to get their kid to smile. I was so shocked to see that Keri got a bunch of adorable photos of him smiling! I think it was the duck callers/noise makers. When Keri pulled those out Komori couldn't stand a chance. Along with being well prepared, she was great at communicating. I knew when/where we were gonna meet, where to park, how the session is gonna go, what kind of framing she's going for, etc. And she knows how to work with any kind of situation. Komori's not a fan of surprises so when a wave crashed that scared him he did not want to sit on the wall anymore. Luckily, Keri already thought of a way to get sunset photos without being near the waves. I also love how in the pre-photoshoot questionnaire she asks "what motivates your dog?" When I read that question it was clear that she understands and treats every dog she meets as the unique pup they are and that she's done this many times. Seriously, you will not be disappointed you made the decision to do a photoshoot for your dog.

It's a skill to capture wonderful memories and turn it into an amazing work of art. Though we are…read morenow in a world of advanced technology filled with many options to capture memories, whether it may be our smart phones, DSLR cameras, or GoPros, there are a select few who are talented in using that technology to make those memories look amazing. And then there are super amazingly talented people like Keri who can take photos of furry family members and showcase their beautiful individual personalities. My fur kid was super fortunate enough to work with Keri a few times. She does such an amazing job when it comes to capturing his smile, personality, and quirkiness. From the beginning and through the end of the photoshoot process, she always keeps an open communication with her fur-clients' managers. I always appreciated her consistency of communicating from providing tips on what to bring to the photoshoot to help her get the best shots, to location, to the day prior of the photoshoot, and to the post-photoshoot where you view her amazing work. Her work speaks for itself. She has the skill to take photos of your furry family members even if they may be camera shy or are hyperactive. She has a way to work with what she got and get that perfect shot. She's super experienced working with all types of furry kid personalities. Not only has she worked with my fur kid, but also worked with his other furry friends who all had amazing photos. I highly recommend her as your next pet photographer! You won't regret it!

I met two sweet dogs at Petco during an adoption event and after applying for a trial adoption, I…read morefirst met Pat and Kat of the Hawaii SPCA. Pat is great at connecting with both people and animals, and his passion for helping them is infectious. I brought the pups to the spay and neuter clinic and was overwhelmed by the activity. However Kat was welcoming and worked quickly to ensure all the visitors were taken care of. Kat and Pat not only dedicate themselves to caring for neglected and abandoned animals, but they work other jobs on the side to afford the costs of food and facilities the animals need. I am really glad I discovered the spay and neuter clinic (hawaii spca) and witnessed the good hearts of the people who run the foundation. They welcome volunteers, donations of anything for dogs, cats and pigs, and potential interested adopters for all the animals in their care.

On Sunday my husband and I took our dog to the Spay and Neuter clinic at Hawaii SPCA in Waianae. Upon our arrival, we noticed the facility looked very run down but with the SPCA being such a well known organization we thought we were in good hands. The staff there were all very friendly and ensured us that our dog was safe with them. We got a text about 10 hours later that our dog was ready to be picked up. When we arrived they brought us our dog in a kennel. He was in and out of consciousness and was laying down so we were unable to view his incision at that time. When we got home we put a cone on him and he slept the rest of the night. When we got up the next morning our dog was awake and we were able to check his incision and we could not believe our eyes. We ended up having to take him to Wahiawa Pet Hospital where the Vet there had to give our dog staples, pain killers, and antibiotics in order to prevent infection. I strongly urge those of you who need to spay or neuter your pets to take your business elsewhere in order to ensure their safety.

I ended up changing the day and time twice, and she was still able to work with me and meet up. When it came to the day of the photoshoot, I was a little late, but she had already been at the shoot location thirty minutes prior. On top of taking our photos, she also edited them! I can tell that she really cares about how they turn out because she actually took the time to make sure the photos looked good. She also made sure that I was okay with the edits and then worked her magic!! Also, with the inspo photos I sent her, she totally brought them to life. The shoot turned out way better than I expected. I totally recommend Czarina! She was so sweet, patient, and easy to work with, and I absolutely love how my photos turned out!
