I usually suggest not dressing the whole family in matching clothes and colors, as it doesn’t always complement the final photos. I recommend wearing something comfortable and loose, so you’re not constantly adjusting it. Neutrals are always a great choice - they photograph beautifully. Think linens, denim, white, brown, tan - whatever feels right for you!! Just try to avoid super busy patterns, really dark colors, and logos since they can be a bit distracting. Let me know if you need any help!!

Totally get it - feeling nervous or self-conscious in front of the camera is super common, especially if it’s your first photoshoot!! My job is to make sure you feel comfortable and confident throughout the whole process. I’ll guide you through everything, from posing to expressions, so you don’t have to worry about awkward moments or not knowing what to do. My goal is to create a chill, fun atmosphere where you can just relax and be yourself!!

This depends on the type of session you’ve booked. Usually, you’ll receive an online gallery with 65+ photos. These will be fully edited and delivered to you within 3 weeks.

I typically recommend booking a session with me at least 3-4 weeks in advance to ensure availability. However, I understand that sometimes things come up last minute, so I always do my best to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible. It's always a good idea to reach out to me as soon as you know you'd like to schedule a session to secure your preferred date and time.

Living in Hawaii means we’re used to unpredictable weather, including the occasional rain. But don’t worry - just because the forecast shows rain doesn’t mean we can’t still create amazing images together. Some of my favorite shoots have been in those moody, misty conditions that Hawaii is famous for. If the weather isn’t cooperating on the day of our shoot, we’ll figure out the best plan together. We might still go ahead with the shoot, or we could reschedule for another day. No matter what, my main goal is to make sure we capture stunning, high-quality images that you’ll love for years to come.

Once we move forward with your booking, I’ll send you my Location Guide, which includes all my favorite spots!!

I use Lightroom Classic to edit my photos.

As a natural light photographer, my focus is on authenticity. I don't do retouching, but I get how annoying a pesky pimple or a random object can be. So, I do make small adjustments here and there to keep everything looking its best:)
