My son is special needs and I love his pictures as it's "him" but the pictures they took were crazy and for his student ID and yearbook. I bought the pictures but only because it's "him". I would not recommend this company nor use them for his senior pictures. What I could recommend is they be more engaged with the kids!

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!

We did a family Christmas photo shoot, and they truly knocked it out of the park. From start to finish, they made the entire process feel effortless and comfortable. One of them captured beautiful candid moments while the other guided us with posing and direction, which helped so much. We never felt awkward or lost. It was the perfect balance of natural and polished. They were incredibly patient with our little one and somehow managed to capture the sweetest, most genuine moments. Nothing felt forced. It felt warm, authentic, and completely "us." The photos turned out absolutely stunning. The lighting, the details, the emotion in every shot -- just perfect. These are photos we'll treasure for years. If you're thinking about booking them, do it. You won't regret it.

We never felt rushed during the session--she allowed plenty of time for diaper changes and feeding. In fact, we even went overtime because she genuinely wanted to ensure we got all the poses we wanted. I especially appreciated how she included all members of our family and was incredibly accommodating and patient with our dog. Lucie offers a wide variety of beautiful props in her studio and was also more than willing to incorporate special items we brought from home. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and are so grateful for the memories she captured. We look forward to working with her again for future milestones and life events.
