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!

    I began researching photographers in Honolulu shortly after we booked our 10-year anniversary trip…read moreto Hawaii, and I came across Krystal's website. I instantly fell in love with her style! 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!

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!

Michelle was super friendly, easy to work with, and made the whole process so comfortable. I love her soft, bright style of photography and our photos turned out exactly how I imagined--absolutely beautiful! Even after the photos were taken, she went above and beyond--helping with image fixes and being so patient with all my requests for help. These are memories we'll treasure forever. If you're in Oahu and looking for a photographer, I highly recommend Michelle!

    Highly Recommend Russell Tanoue -- Professional, Passionate, and Truly Relatable…read more I recently had my headshots done by Russell Tanoue, and I can honestly say this was one of the best photography experiences I've ever had. Russell is extremely professional and organized. He guided me through poses and angles that I had never tried in past photo shoots, and that alone made a huge difference in the final results. His attention to detail and ability to direct without making you feel stiff or uncomfortable really stood out. What made this experience even more meaningful was how relatable he is on a personal level. As a caregiver myself, I connected deeply with Russell because he also took care of his parents. We spent time talking about caregiving, our moms, life, and the spiritual side of it all. That connection meant a lot to me. Another thing that truly touched my heart was that Russell gave me a discount simply because I am a caregiver. That alone shows the kind of heart he has--compassionate, understanding, and genuine. He made the entire shoot fun and relaxed. There was so much natural laughter--he would giggle, dance, and bring such great energy that it helped me relax and smile naturally. I've worked with other photographers before, but I've never had an experience like this. Because of his quality work and professionalism, I'm already thinking about updating my photos every six months. I highly recommend Russell Tanoue to any actors or models who are unsure about where to go for headshots. You won't just get great photos--you'll get an unforgettable experience. Matai'a Hio.

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!

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.

    I honestly cannot believe I haven't written a review for Daphne yet! I've hired her for both a…read moreboudoir session and an engagement photoshoot, and she is truly incredible at what she does. 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!!

He was extremely accommodating given the weather and timing for our shoot. Now, I am not the most photogenic and feel super awkward posing behind cameras, but the poses and interactions that Sean directed us to do led to very natural, joyful moments in the photos. We came in not knowing what to expect, but left feeling the experience was really fun and engaging. What drew us most to this group was their editing, and they did not disappoint. The resulting pictures were phenomenal. They kept well within the timelines they told us to expect, as well. Thank you to the Jenna Lee team for making this an overall great experience.

    We are beyond thrilled that we had Jenna Lee & her tribe for our wedding day! From start to finish,…read moreshe made the entire experience fun, engaging, and stress-free. Her approach was far from the standard "stand and smile" routine; instead, she and her team made sure every moment felt natural, joyful, and full of emotion. She took the time to understand what we wanted, and her attention to detail truly captured the essence of our wedding day. The photos are vibrant, full of life, and each one tells a beautiful story of our special day. When I was first booking, what stood out to me was that Jenna herself called me at a very odd hour because of my schedule. She was so flexible and accommodating, taking the time to chat about what she offered. That conversation was a game changer--it completely altered the way I wanted to approach our wedding day. Initially, I was hesitant about doing the first look and family photos before the ceremony, as I thought it wasn't the traditional way to do things. But Jenna shared her prior experiences, and since we wanted to be present for cocktail hour and fully enjoy the day, we decided to take her advice. It was MAGIC. When I first opened my photos, I was with my new husband, my mother-in-law, two of the groomsmen, and a bridesmaid, and we were all brought to tears with how phenomenal, powerful, and stunning the photos were. She truly captured so many important moments, and the amazing part is, it was FUN. Every photo radiated emotion and joy, and we'll cherish them forever. What also really stood out was how thoughtful and generous Jenna and her team were. The entire team was not only professional but also incredibly fun--honestly, I would be friends with every photographer there! They made the experience feel like we were surrounded by love and family, creating moments full of joy, laughter, and genuine connection. They were there when we needed them but never intrusive. Jenna and her team's responsiveness was another huge bonus--they were always quick to answer calls and texts, which helped us feel at ease throughout the process. I can't tell you how many times I was adding and subtracting hours and not once did they make me feel bad or like it was a burden. Additionally, the turnaround time for the photos was incredibly fast! We felt like we had the images in no time, and every single one exceeded our expectations. We feel INCREDIBLY lucky that Jenna was the photographer for our wedding; her team was just as phenomenal. She captured beautiful memories, kept the experience lighthearted and meaningful, and we will treasure her work FOREVER. 10/10 would recommend her! Amazing! Thank you Jenna!!!! -- Ashlie
