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!

I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to work with Lindsey. Her brand immersion is next…read morelevel! It was so much more than I could've ever imagined! 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 cannot say enough wonderful things about our family photo session with Rita during our vacation!…read moreFrom the moment we met her, Rita's warm and friendly personality put us all at ease. She has an incredible ability to connect with children, and our little ones were laughing and genuinely smiling throughout the session -- no forced smiles here! Rita was patient, engaging, and made the experience so fun that our kids didn't even realize they were "posing" for photos. She has an eye for those perfect candid moments, and the way she used natural light and scenery made every shot beautiful. She was able to capture the kids' true personalities and the special bond in our family. These are memories we will treasure forever. The quality of the photos, the memory book, and the keepsake box were second to none. If you are looking for a photographer who combines technical skill with an incredible ability to make you feel comfortable, Rita is the one. Thank you, Rita, for giving us such beautiful photos from our trip!

After going through our fertility journey…read moreand having our successful IVF transfer we wanted to make sure to record this Little's one's life as much as possible! We first did my maternity shoot with Rita and I knew we were going to have a great time from our first phone conversation! She is so patient and considerate. I am plus size and it's not easy to find someone who is good at capturing larger bodies in a flattering way, RITA CAN!!! Which is so nice! I felt so comfortable and beautiful in my photos. I am so grateful to her for that! The next greatest part was she included our pup Rose in the photos! 4 weeks ago I gave birth to our little Quinn and we got her photoshoot just before she was 2 weeks old. Rita was so gentle and sweet with her and found such amazing backdrops and props for her. I was even able to breastfeed in the middle of the session! She even was happy to incorporate the quilt made by my husband's grandmother and the blanket with elephants to represent my grandmother. So magical. I can't wait to continue working with Rita, we got her "Grow with Me" package for Quinn and I am looking forward to the magic we will create!

So when we received our online gallery, it certainly exceeded out expectation and we could not be more happy how beautiful she captured our little girl! I would definitely recommend Sarah to capture these precious memories for any mommy to be.

We…read morebooked Sarah from thousands of miles away in Detroit to photograph our wedding on the North Shore of Oahu on 10/4/18 and it was the best decision we made. She is the friendliest person you will ever meet and she is so organized and professional. Communication was super easy and she was quick to respond to any questions we had. I can't even put into words how thankful we are for her. The photos we have seen so far are PERFECTION and we cannot wait to see the rest of them! All of our guests raved about how amazing she was and some of our recently engaged family members who were at the wedding are seriously considering flying her to Michigan so she can photograph their weddings too! She fit into our big crazy family perfectly, and if we had to do it all over again we would no doubt, without question, 110% book Sarah again. If you are getting married and considering booking her- DO IT! You will not be disappointed.

Got introduced to Jackie from hours of thorough online research looking for the perfect engagement…read morephotographer for my best friend. She is an independent photographer in Oahu, Hawaii - you WILL get HER doing everything from front to end (scheduling, answering questions, to the finished photos being sent). She is an absolute powerhouse of a photographer and professional - it makes a lot of sense why so many people recommend her. She is experienced and talented in photography of land, water, mountains as she is born and raised there. Her pricing is extremely fair and affordable, and the quality is of top-tier professional standards and better than large production companies. The finished photos were absolutely gorgeous - she manages the capture sunsets and sunrises so perfectly (and does stellar midday photography work as well) and quite literally has inventory on every special-event-worthy spot on the island. She goes above and beyond to the point of literally getting on the phone the same day I contacted her as soon as we both were available. She will single-handedly clear debris on beaches to the best of a single person's ability to get the perfect background and shot. She monitors weather and is extremely responsive about updates. She was also very patient with me when I needed time to coordinate a decision with my friend for whom the engagement shoot was for and answering a slough of my questions since I was not familiar nor on-site in the area. She has an extensive repository of photos at every location, and even if you have no idea where you want yours, she will provide you with a menu of options. If you do multiple locations nearby, she'll also give a great deal for those. Based on my coordinating experience with her and the final photo products (which she produces within a good turnaround time), I highly recommend her for any type of shoot - she does proposals, engagements, weddings, couple ones, and fun ones!

We were going to be in Oahu for my birthday, and I really wanted to have family photos taken while…read morewe were there. I found Jackie through a friend whose coworker regularly books her for family photos whenever they visit Oahu. I had also seen another friend's photos from a recent trip that Jackie had taken, and I loved how natural and beautiful they looked, so I knew I wanted to reach out to her. I contacted Jackie pretty last minute, not knowing if she would even have availability, but she responded right away! From the very beginning, she was so easy to talk to and made the entire process feel effortless. She sent me several location ideas along with photos she had taken at each location, which was so helpful in deciding what would work best for our family. From the moment we booked our date and location, Jackie was so thoughtful and communicative. She checked in and sent reminders as our session got closer, which I really appreciated. You could tell she genuinely cared about making sure everything went smoothly and that we were prepared. I'm usually pretty camera shy and can feel awkward having my picture taken, but Jackie made me feel so comfortable and at ease. She did the same for the rest of my family, which made the session feel relaxed and natural. It didn't feel overly posed or stressful--it just felt like we were enjoying time together, and she somehow captured all those little moments beautifully. From start to finish, Jackie made the experience so easy and enjoyable. She was professional, friendly, responsive, and genuinely made us feel comfortable. Jackie also had a very quick turnaround time for delivering our edited photos. It was such a wonderful surprise and we were so grateful to receive our photos so soon after the session. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful, and we couldn't be happier with how she captured such a special birthday and family memory for us. I'm so thankful that I found Jackie and that she was able to be part of such a special trip for us. She is not only incredibly talented, but also so kind, responsive, and thoughtful throughout the entire experience. We loved our photos and would definitely recommend Jackie to anyone looking for a photographer in Hawaii! We're hoping we get the chance to work with her again on a future trip!

She has a great eye and plan for what she wants out of a family shoot and her suggestions for locations are top-notch. With that preparation she is still super flexible and lets the session organically succeed (when you have little ones, you know how this goes). While being very prompt and responsive, Kristin is one of the kindest people you'll encounter on Oahu. My kids LOVED her and she did not feel like a stranger at all. We're so glad we've done two photoshoots spanning six years now and could not recommend anyone better to anyone else for the future. Oh and we used her stunning photos of us for our holiday cards. They also have and will make their way to our family photo wall at home.
