No two couples – just like no two sunsets – are ever alike. We go into every session excited to get to know you and your sweetie and take care of you every step of the way!
The result? Gorgeous, real images that celebrate your connection.
Because whether you’re here for a honeymoon, surprise beachside proposal, or anniversary - your Hawaii vacation deserves to be documented.
Get keys to our secret vault of exclusive client guides! We not only answer all your questions before you even think of them (what to wear, location details and e-x-a-c-t-l-y what to expect during our session), we also share our curated island visitor guide of our favorite beaches, restaurants, and activities.
Then we’ll do the fine print stuff like signing your contract (and that includes our Covid cancellation policy) and arranging payment which we need to confirm your booking.
Don't put this off! I recommend reaching out 2-3 months in advance (4-5 months for holiday and summer months). Contact me with your travel dates and I’ll get right back to you with availability – for both myself and our team.

01. WHERE DO SESSIONS TAKE PLACE?
We specialize in beach portrait sessions. On the Big Island, sessions take place along the Waikoloa and Kohala beach shorelines. On Maui, sessions take place in Kihei, Wailea or Lahaina. We have locations available all around Oahu, including near Waikiki. (Please note: commercial photography is no longer allowed at Disney Aulani Resort but we have nearby locations available). All locations are subject to permit availability as a commercial permit is required for all commercial beach activity in Hawaii.
After you book a session, you'll get a link to our exclusive and very robust location guide. These locations have been vetted based on available light, busyness, and how well they work for families, couples, or maternity clients. We have specific spots we recommend for sunrise but do not recommend for sunset, and vice versa. Our team can also make recommendations based on where you’ll be staying on the island.
01. WHERE DO SESSIONS TAKE PLACE?
In the unlikely event that the weather does not cooperate, we'll work to find a time to reschedule your session during your trip. The best-case scenario is finding a different location (hopefully a nearby beach!) where it is not raining, but we will make those plans on the day of your session if necessary.
We will keep a backup rain date and time for you. This might be a different time of day than you originally booked, or it may be with a different photographer from our team if that is all we have available. If all attempts have been made to reschedule and it still rains, you'll receive a 30% refund. If you refuse any date and time offered to attempt reschedule during your trip, no refund will be given.
02. WHAT HAPPENS IF IT RAINS? CAN WE RESCHEDULE?
Yes, you will get to see all of your final session images and make your own image selections from your delivered gallery. This doesn’t mean you will get to see every photo that was taken at your session. Our culling process involves selecting the absolute best shots from your session time, so we discard images that are out of focus, have closed eyes, or simply are not the best of the best. The final result, approximately 1-2 images per minute of session time, is the gallery that will be delivered to you.
10-14 days after your session, you'll receive your final gallery of images. From there you choose the final images you'd like to have the high-resolution digital files of and be able to download those directly to your computer. You’ll also have the option to purchase additional individual digital files or upgrade to purchase your entire collection of session images.
03. DO I GET TO SEE ALL OF THE IMAGES FROM MY SESSION? WHO SELECTS THE FINAL IMAGES INCLUDED IN MY PACKAGE?
First, you should know that every image you see on our site is classically edited. This includes enhancing the colors of photos, removing distractions such as people and objects from the background of your images.
We do not airbrush or 'nip and tuck', wrap or liquify any subjects. We also don’t do high detail editing such as removing bags under eyes, wrinkles around eyes or mouth, whitening teeth, intense skin smoothing, etc. We believe in capturing authenticity, not perfectionism. If you typically use FaceTune, Instagram, or TikTok filters that alter your appearance and are hoping for that same type of editing of your images, we won’t be able to deliver that kind of editing to you. If you are interested in these services for a small handful of your final images after receiving your final gallery, we assess those requests on an individual photo basis and the starting costs for such edits are $95 p/image.
04. CAN YOU PHOTOSHOP ME?
A non-refundable retainer of 30% is required to hold your session date and confirm your booking. We cannot hold any dates as booked without payment and the signed session agreement. The remaining amount is due one week prior to your session.
Though we sincerely hope your Hawaii vacation isn’t affected by Covid, we understand this is a reality of planning travel nowadays. Should you have to cancel or reschedule your session, the 30% retainer is non-refundable but is transferable to another date within 12 months of your original session date. Please read through our COVID policies here.
