She was very communicative and accommodating ahead of the photo shoot: our party included two kids under 10 years old, and as a result we changed time and location a few times. We settled on the backyard of the Kailua home where we were staying. Kristen arrived promptly and kept us moving throughout the photo shoot; she did a great job keeping the kids engaged as well. The yard was nicely gardened and included plumeria plants and a banana tree. Kristen put all of the flowers and foliage to creative use in her photos, and even used some recently fallen banana tree leaves for a fun dramatic effect. The finished pictures arrived in the time window promised, look great, and are a lasting memento of our trip. We wholeheartedly recommend Kristen!

Nothing felt forced or awkward - just calm, natural, and genuinely enjoyable. Your guidance and direction were spot on, and you had such an intuitive way of working with everyone, which really shows in the final images. We've gone through all the photos now and are absolutely blown away. Not just by how beautiful they are, but by how true they feel. You captured our family exactly as we are - relaxed, connected, and present in the moment. Your energy and presence made a huge difference on the day and didn't go unnoticed -we were all talking about you afterwards and commenting on how lovely you were to be around. Thank you for such a memorable experience and for images we'll treasure forever. We couldn't recommend you more highly.

"Shut up and take my money!", is what I said out loud when I saw the proofs of the family…read morephotography session that we did with Ms. Keao. Both sides of the family met in Oahu for vacation, and months prior I suggested that we should hire a professional photographer so we could 1) remember the occasion, and 2) have some updated photos of the family as we have our newest addition: our son Xavier. After doing my required Yelp searching, I narrowed it down to 4 photographers who specialize in children's photography. Though Keao was the priciest of the 4, I chose her because she didn't put a time limit on her session. I thought this was key because my son was only 7 months and not only was I unsure how he would handle the time difference, but he's just fidgety and unpredictable at this age! Communication was really easy via email and all my questions were answered. She also provided good tips on styling, which was useful as there would be 8 of us and we wanted to have some sort of cohesiveness. The session itself went smoothly, even though Xavier fell asleep about 20 minutes in! We still took advantage and had her photograph all the possible family combinations while he took a nap. Looking at the photos, you can't even tell that Xavier was cranky, haha. Also, I felt as if she captured us how we really are... it's hard to explain. Looking at a photo of me and my sister-in-law being silly, it just made me think, "OMG this is us!!" I'm extremely happy with the work Keao's done, and can't wait to show the photos off on my social media accounts, Christmas 2017 cards, and any other occasion in the future. Kardashians, eat your heart out!

My children (all THREE of them) responded so well to her and liked her and one even had a high fever and she was able to get her to smile and laugh!

They photographed maternity photos for me almost 13 years ago, and I loved those photos so much that when it came time for my maternity pictures again, I knew exactly who I wanted to take them. They made the entire experience so easy and comfortable for all of us. They helped me choose my outfit beforehand and already had ideas and a vision for the shoot, but they also captured so many beautiful, natural moments that didn't feel overly posed. They are creative, efficient, and really know how to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Being pregnant and older this time around, I don't always feel like myself physically, but they genuinely made me feel beautiful. I'm so grateful to have these photos from such a special time in my life. They captured not only my pregnancy, but beautiful moments with family that I'll always have. I couldn't be happier with how they turned out. I would absolutely recommend Stefanie and Anna to anyone looking for photographers who are talented, experienced, creative, and genuinely care about capturing something special.

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!!
