This was our second time working with Radek for our family photos in Oahu (first in 2019 and again…read morein 2026), and we couldn't be happier with our experience! With four little ones, family photos can definitely be challenging, but Radek was incredibly patient and worked so well with our family. He made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable, and our pictures turned out GREAT! We're so happy with how the photos captured our family, and we will definitely reach out to Radek again the next time we're back in Oahu. Thank you, Radek, for another wonderful family session! Aloha

Radek and his team did an amazing job. From start to finish they provided exactly what I was…read morelooking for. The team provided suggestions on where I should consider proposing after we had a call about my vision. The day of was executed to perfection, Radek was there on time with the set up I chose and was texting me throughout the day leading up to the evening proposal. Since it was a surprise, we ran 10-15minutes late and I clearly recall Radek moving with speed and intention. He positioned us quickly so he was able to get the sunset and the beauty of the Hawaiian backdrop. Radek didn't miss a beat and had a smile the entire time, making us feel comfortable all the way through. If you want to work with a professional, look no further. Thank you again to the Right Frame Photography team!

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!

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!

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

I was recommended Limitless Pacific by a friend, and was a bit apprehensive as they had no reviews…read moreon Yelp, but everyone's gotta start somewhere :) However, the communication pre-shoot was excellent (they asked me what I'm looking for, sent samples similar to the shots I wanted, asked to see samples from me), and when I met Luis & Catherine, I was totally at ease. This was my first professional photo shoot, and it went great! 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!

Lindsay is amazing! I am so glad my boyfriend and I decided to work with her!…read more A little background of me: I was born and raised on O'ahu and moved to California in 2008. I love being home and being surrounded by my family and friends which makes bringing my boyfriend of two years now that much more special. So what better way to commemorate our two years than a photo session?! I've taken him back two summers in a row so I thought this would be really fun! Deciding to go with Lindsay over other photographers was so easy! She replies quickly and answers all questions you may have. She is very personal and will really make it all about what you're looking for and what you're wanting to do for the photo session. All I wanted was a photo session at a beach on the west side. Boom! She knew exactly where to go for the perfect sunset! I really wanted to get a silhouette of my boyfriend and I with a beautiful Hawai'i sunset. Because, come on - there's really nothing like it! We met up with Lindsay at a local spot and I followed her to our photo location. As soon as we met up, we began taking pictures! She brought us to a great location where she was able to capture so many different backgrounds of our beautiful island. Lindsay let us know what she wanted us to do, how to pose, which way to look, etc. Thank God for her and her direction because the photos came out so beautiful! After the session was done, Lindsay let me know the photos will get back to me within 7-10 days. They got to me in exactly 7 - I was obviously so excited and overjoyed when she let me know they were already emailed to me via a google link! Opened the link and..... I WAS BLOWN AWAY! My boyfriend and I were captured on beautiful Makaha beach sand, the Pacific Ocean, and the mountains! Ugh, literally everything was perfect! The sunset was perfect. Evvvverrryyyytthiiiing so beautiful! She captured us smiling at each other, laughing at each other, teasing each other. The candids are so amazing! Thank you so much Lindsay! Until we meet again! Because I will definitely be wanting to do this again!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

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!

We loved our maternity photos so much that we knew we had to come back and recreate them--this time with our toddler. Last month we booked her again and it truly felt like a full-circle moment for our family. She captured it perfectly all over again and she was so sweet with my toddler too - he loved her! The entire experience from first communication to photoshoot day was seamless, fun, and easy going. She also has such a great eye for detail!

Iris saves the day! We initially booked our family photo shoot for Christmas Day with another…read morephotographer. However, the photographer double-booked us and canceled on us the day before. 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!
