So my wife and I were thinking about newborn photos since all of our family live quite a ways away…read morefrom us, and we wanted something special to share with them, and our first time Grandparents. We were concerned because they are usually very expensive for nothing super special. Then my wife happened upon Chelsea Lietz's Photography. Not only were the prices very reasonable, but her photos were simply gorgeous. We ended up getting the "Belly to Baby" package which was two photography sessions one a short 45 minute Maternity session, and the second a 3 hourish newborn photography session. The maternity session blew our minds away, we were so pleased with how laid back she was, how professional she seemed, and most importantly how organized, and timely she was. She asked us if there was anythign we wanted and we mentioned our tattoos, and she delivered with what is one of my favourite photos of me and my wife. We were super pleased with the maternity session, and everyone in our family and freidns on facebook loved the photos. We thought it couldn't get better than this. WE WERE WRONG!! Chelsea has a plague on the wall of her studio that says "Baby Whisperer" this is not an exagerration. She handled our 1 week old newborn so well that we immediately trusted her with our baby so much that my wife and I both fell asleep due to the comfortable environment, and the absolute trust we had in Chelsea. Then the Photos came.... They were simply stunning! She focused on the baby like she should, but still managed to get a couple of pictures with my wife and I with the baby. They were everything and more that we wanted. For the price that we paid I doubt we could find someone with more bang for the buck. While we are in San Antonio we will only do family sessions with Chelsea from now on. http://chelsealietzphotography.smugmug.com/Newborn/Jolene/43252018_D6xPML#!i=3421512422&k=nWWQbct&lb=1&s=L

Chelsea is the best!! My 2 week old was fussy and she was able to calm him and get amazing photos…read moreof him and my then 3 1/2 year old. I will continue to go to her.

We booked a family photo session with Mel while we were on vacation. Our friends had previously…read moreused Mel and they recommended her. We corresponded over email and her response time is about a day or less. She has about 3 different packages and about 9 locations she likes to shoot at. We chose Kualoa regional park because it had a few different backgrounds (beach, mountains, outriggers, and dock). On the day of the session she met us at the park and we walked to the locations. She was very easy to work with and she was pretty in tune with the needs of our 1 and 2 year olds. When the girls got fussy or didn't feel like cooperating she would shoot couples pictures of us. Her prices are very reasonable and the pictures came out amazing. We will definitely use her services again if we're back on Oahu.

Mel recently did a photo shoot for our extended family while we were visiting Oahu. I can't even…read moredescribe how great she is! Her professionalism, expertise, and friendliness were second to none! We had our 4 1/2 month old niece and nephew twins there and Mel was so great in not only organizing the photos to accommodate them, but also so great at capturing them also! We stayed in Ko Olina and Mel knew exactly where to do the photo shoot and the best time of day for the beauty and lighting of the photos. The photographs she took were incredible! She was able to get us the gallery so quickly and they are awesome. If you are on Oahu and would like stunning photos from an awesome photographer, I highly recommend In The Light with Mel Photography!

She's organized, very responsive and flexible to changes that worked better for us throughout the process. She navigated our wedding day with ease. We had a few hiccups with the weather being a little less than ideal and Hannah quickly pivoted and moved us inside to continue to party while we waited for the rain to stop. Once it did, she found the perfect opportunity to take our sunset photo's. Her assistant Dave was great and on top of everything as well! I haven't actually seen all of our pictures being that the wedding was only 2 weeks ago, but I know they will be perfect based off of the few sneak peaks she shared! If they're anything like our engagement photo's I know they'll be amazing.

What should have been one of the greatest moments of our lives turned out to be one of the worst…read more We contracted Andres Photography to handle the photography and video for our event. Little did we know this would be one of the worst decisions we could have ever made. In the contract they were supposed to have given us portraits that we never received. As if that wasn't enough, even after asking countless times for our video they never gave it to us. Despite us asking numerous times it took not only months, but over a year for them to let us know that they lost all of our wedding footage. This was devastating to us as people that were not only in those videos but who also left video messages have since passed away. We have no video of our very special day. I can't quantify the amount of stress and devastation this has caused. If you are searching for a photographer/videographer for you special day, do yourself a favor and look elsewhere if you want to ensure you will have your memories properly captured and your contract honored to its fullest. He was deceptive regarding his services and professionalism and in the end it affected so many things for us.
