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!

If you're in Oahu and looking for a photographer, I highly recommend Michelle!

Catherine helped with outfit/look suggestions, and Luis had the patience to keep trying the shot until we got just the right lighting and expression and everything, and the humor to get me to laugh for real :) Will update once I get the photos, but from what I've seen on the camera preview, I have no doubt they'll be great!

In our first meeting, the insights she shared with me on my gene keys gave me massive breakthroughs, and all the information she shared with me on the research she did on my business before we met was priceless! She shared with me what she thought was amazing and so many incredible ideas that I can use to make it more powerful. From advice on my social media to guidance on messaging, the value she provided is extensive, and I'm still integrating them into my business. She gave me a safe place to be vulnerable and uncover sides of myself that were suppressed. It was incredible to be able to work on those pieces and then show up for the shoot in my new energy, and she was able to capture that new power through her photos! She is incredible, the way she sees people and brings out their magic! She also helped me to feel so safe during the shoot to play with my new power and to own it and claim it. She is incredibly supportive and coaches you the entire way. I can't believe how amazing the photos are! They have brought my brand to the next level, and I'm already seeing the difference her images are making in my business as well as in my confidence! I am incredibly grateful because I know this is just the beginning of the results that are showing up from working with her! If you are thinking of working with her, I would suggest booking her right away because the only thing you'll have wished is that you worked with her sooner!

She coordinated with me and my husband leading up to the…read morephotoshoot, answered all of our questions, made suggestions on locations, and gave us all the information we needed to have our photo session be a success! 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!

We were so bummed! It was supposed to be our first family shoot in Hawaii, and we had planned this for months. I immediately went on Yelp and sent a mass message to photographers on the island. It was Christmas Eve, and I highly doubted anyone would book us last minute for Christmas Day, let alone respond. It was worth a shot. Iris was one of the photographers who reached out to us. She was very empathetic and understood our situation. She didn't try to upsell us or complicate things with numbers. We booked her on the spot. On the day of the shoot, Iris went above and beyond. We had two families in our group that included several children and a 6-month old infant. Iris worked patiently with us to get various poses and captured all the beautiful smiles. It was not hectic at all and a lot of fun. We received our photos within a week, and we are so pleased with the final product. Iris captured our family beautifully. Her editing style is very romantic and timeless. I was initially skeptical because Iris didn't have a huge online presence, but she has proven to be very professional and talented. We highly recommend Iris and would not hesitate to hire her again on our next visit. She completely overdelivered and exceeded our expectations. Thank you, Iris!

Disappointing and disorganized experience We took our kids…read moreto take photos with Santa at Ka Makana and made an appointment for 3:25 PM. Despite having a scheduled time, we weren't seen until close to 4:00 PM. There was no clear organization in the line appointments and walk-ins were mixed together, and walk-ins were being taken before those with reservations. When our appointment time had already passed and we stepped forward to ask when we would be seen, we were criticized by others in line, which was uncomfortable and completely avoidable with proper line management. The most disappointing part was the actual interaction with Santa. There was little engagement with the kids, they weren't asked what they wanted for Christmas. This was especially frustrating since the reservation form specifically asks what your child wants for Christmas. What's the point of including that information if it's never used? We made an appointment expecting a smoother process and a more magical, personalized experience for our kids. Unfortunately, neither happened. Definitely not what we expected, especially during the holidays.
