    Angela R.

    As a first time mother with a baby born during the pandemic, we were not able to celebrate my daughter's first birthday the way we had hoped. Fast forward to her second birthday, we made sure to make up for it. Mike, of course, took pictures of the main areas of the party. What we didn't expect was that he also captured the moments we did not even realize we wanted captured. The pictures turned out great! He really has a great eye, especially for the candid shots. My daughter does not do well with staged photos so seeing her actually smiling in these pics made our hearts so full. My husband and I are so happy to have these memories to look back on! Thanks Mike!

    I can't say this enough, Mike's work is truly amazing! We had the honor to have him shoot our engagement photos, and wedding. Mike made me and my husband feel so comfortable doing our photo shoot. It's nerve wrecking to act natural infront of a camera and he made it feel so natural. On our wedding day, Mike and his team were incredible! In such a hectic day, he made sure to capture the most important parts and knew all the perfection locations to capture the best shots. It's true what they say, a picture is worth a thousand words and he capture the moment important day beautifully. I felt the love and emotions through his photos and can't wait to have him capture more moments to come!

    We are so forever grateful to Mike and his team!! He has blessed us with photos and videos from our Wedding that will last a lifetime. He is super easy to work with and makes sure to ask for your input. I couldn't have picked a better photographer/videographer to capture our special day!

    Mike was so accommodating and came through when I needed a replacement photographer/videographer for my wedding back in August 2019. His photos captured the raw moments and videography skill are unmatched. He single-handedly shot photos and videos simultaneously, so impressive! He was super responsive and worked with our requests. Super easygoing so he made us feel comfortable in front of the camera but maintained the utmost professionalism when it mattered the most. Can't say enough good things about his work, wedding season is here so Y'ALL NEED TO BOOK HIM ASAP!

    See all

    In November 2025 I had such an incredible experience with JP Moulin Photography! From the moment I…read morearrived, getting my hair and makeup done by Rosie, I felt completely taken care of Rosie was so warm, friendly, and talented it really set the tone for the entire shoot. When it came time to work with JP, he was the perfect balance of professional and personable. He created such a comfortable, safe space and knew exactly how to guide me in a way that made me feel 100% confident in my body. What started as a simple clothed shoot naturally evolved into an implied nude session and I never once felt anything but empowered and supported. If you've ever thought about doing something like this, don't hesitate! This is an experience you won't regret. I can honestly say it's more than just a photo shoot; it's a confidence boost, a moment of self-love and a chance to see yourself in a whole new light. Fair warning... you'll probably want to book another session just to feel that magic all over again and capture even more stunning photos!

    From the beginning to the end, this was an amazingly unforgettable experience. I was in contact…read morewith JP back in March regarding my interest in a Boudoir session, on the beaches of HI in October. Coming from VA, I was unsure what to expect in HI, much less a boudoir session as this was my first one. JP made this experience so simple and easy. He established boundaries, asked my insecurities, and helped me decide on which outfits to bring (I had so many options and no idea where to start). He worked with my schedule being that I was on vacation and communicated very well. His wife Rosie was a total sweetheart. She took her time and really showed passion in her work. After hair and makeup were completed, she did a whole videoed reveal with me. It was a total celebration! Rosie really made me look like a complete goddess with hair and makeup! JP showed me a few different locations as to where we could go being I wasn't familiar with the area and ultimately left the decision up to me as to what I liked best. During the photo shoot, he was incredibly respectful and professional. He communicated every step of the way and gave clear concise directions on what to do and how to pose. He knew exactly what he was doing. JP and Rosie were so welcoming. The photos received were absolutely beautiful! I never thought I could look so stunning. The pictures are a total confidence booster and I cannot wait to complete an album for my husband. If you are unsure on booking a session, just do it!! You will not regret it! If I ever take another trip to Hawaii, I will for sure be reaching out again. Thank you so much, JP and Rosie, for the most welcoming and incredible experience. You both were so wonderful to work with and I am forever grateful for this experience.

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!

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!

I instantly fell in love with her style! From the very beginning, Krystal was incredibly responsive, kind, patient, and accommodating.

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!

I love her to death! If you are looking to capture a special moment or just want to feel empowered, here is why Daphne is the person to call: The Boudoir Experience: Pure Confidence First off, you do not need to be a model. Daphne makes you feel beautiful regardless of what anyone else says. She is positive, patient, easy-going, and an amazing communicator. She makes the cutest comments while shooting ("You look so sexy!" or "Hold that pose, it's perfect!"), which instantly boosts your mood. The Coaching: She guides your body into specific positions. Yes, sometimes the poses feel a little "uncomfortable" in the moment, but trust me--it is worth it! When you see the results, you'll literally think, "Wait, that's me?!" She helps every woman feel confident and fall in love with their own skin. Engagement Photos: Capturing the Love For our engagement session, the weather was on our side, and Daphne's cues produced the most stunning photos. It was my husband's first time in front of a professional camera, and he was definitely a bit nervous. I was there to help him smile, but Daphne's constant "cute comments" about us as a couple really helped him settle in and made me feel wonderful. Daphne has a gift for bringing out the best in people and making the process feel natural and fun. Whether it's a gift for someone special or a treat for yourself, you won't regret booking her!

She didn't try to "salespeople" me, she just told me exactly what I wanted to know, she gave me the information I was asking for, she didn't try to upsell or charge more, or anything, she just was perfectly professional via email. Then when we got to Hawaii and we had our session, she was just a dream to work with! She was so friendly, kept us laughing, asked the teenagers to do silly things (and they complied!), she worked great with my elderly deaf parents, and she would give us pose ideas so we wouldn't have the same ole same ole pics you always see. She sent the link for the pictures a couple of days ago and I've already ordered Christmas cards, and am planning on ordering a bunch of enlargements to frame and hang on my walls. The pictures are INCREDIBLE. We are all blown away at how amazing she made us look!!

We absolutely love working with her--she's so sweet and she gives really clear direction/instructions. My husband and I agree that we always feel super comfortable whenever we're getting our picture taken by her. There's great communication throughout the whole process and the end product never fails to blow me away! I wish our house had more wall space because want to frame and hang it all! NEWBORN: More about our newborn shoot--it was awesome! Meagan came with some greenery that she previously contacted me about for preference. I loved that she gives you the option of shooting at her studio or at your home (we picked shooting in our home so that we could do some shots with the family dog). She budgets a healthy amount of time to factor in soothing and feeding--I didn't feel rushed at all. She's so patient and you get such a good vibe working with her, which is great for kids and newborns but also really relaxing for stressed-out soon-to-be-moms like I was (and I bet it would go really well with busy busy brides with a bazillion things on their minds). P.S.: Like all in-demand professionals, contact her ahead of time to get on her calendar--Once we made contact, it was a breeze to schedule!

I highly recommend anyone to book with someone else who will keep their time commitments. If you do not, have a backup person booked and waiting. Unbelievable. To add to this, she states she reached out four days prior to reschedule. According to the screenshots below, it was TWO days prior. Again, unprofessional and inconsiderate.
