I would have given Treasured Forever 6 stars if it were an option! We are beyond excited to write about Nova and her business Treasured Forever! We had the pleasure of experiencing two photo shoots with her. One at Diamond Head and one in her studio. 100% satisfied with both sessions.
Not only is Nova a professional photographer, she has the PATIENCE and understanding for toddlers, a very motherly gentle side that she uses to take the best pictures with my son. She was NEVER irritated or upset when my son and believe me my son is really rascal at times! My son didn't follow directions and was shy at first which really scared me because I knew this would happen but instead Nova took the time out and walked and talked with him and played with his figurine cars with him practice taking photos with his Toy cars and after that it was NO PROBLEM! He absolutely followed directions after that!!!
We could not have been more happier with her work! Our first professional photography ever in our family was of my second child's maternity shoot at Kapiolani Park January 2017. Professional quality on her own printed machine at home with her own paper. Beautiful views and she takes the time to modify and "clean up" the photos that I wanted.
On a side note: Not only does Nova take your pictures for you, she sends friendly and gentle reminders of your shoot the day before and also reminds you and your family what to bring such as water, snack for the little ones. When the weather was not permitting she would ask if you would like to reschedule for the week after or a have it at her studio- which was what happened in our situation. Very flexible with time to meet our needs. But above all Nova had maternity portraits within a couple days both printed portraits and saved on a USB for me ready to print! Beautiful work!
Our second photo shoot was our first family portraits March 2017. And let me tell you she is AMAZING with newborns! I had a fussy newborn daughter and a hyper toddler son, I mean she is like the children's whisperer! She handled it very well! Our portraits came out spectacular!!! She has professional lighting, multiple back drops, floor designs, an area for changing, an area for breast feeding, I mean this was STRESS FREE for me especially! This time we ordered more pictures and it also came with a USB enclosed with my pictures!! She was able to capture some AWESOME sibling portraits of my two kids and I'm beyond happy with her performance and professional work!! My parents were so pleased about their gifts of their grandchildren! My husband is not a smiling person at all, but for these shoots it was something about Nova that made you want to smile and my husbands smile was very natural!
I have already booked her for my daughter's first year cake smash in December 2017. And I also hired her for my daughter's first birthday in February 2018 to photograph the memorable moments at the party. We are also taking family portraits again in November 2017 with our entire family! I'm just so excited! Thank you Nova for always Treasuring my family's portraits Forever!! read more
