FAQs

  • I’m based in Kailua-Kona on the Big Island of Hawai’i and photograph families, couples, maternity sessions, and intimate weddings across the island. I regularly work in Kona, Waikoloa, Mauna Lani, Kohala Coast, and nearby locations. Travel outside of the Big Island may be available upon request, and travel fees may apply depending on the destination.

  • You'll receive a selection of sneak peeks within 24–48 hours after your session, featuring some of the highlights from your gallery. Full edited galleries are typically delivered within 2–3 weeks, depending on the season and overall workload.

  • The number of images depends on the package you choose. Every gallery includes carefully selected and professionally edited images that tell the complete story of your session. I focus on quality over quantity, ensuring you receive meaningful photographs you'll enjoy for years to come.

  • A non-refundable retainer of $100 is required to reserve your date. The remaining balance is due 3 days before your session. Please note that Hawaii State Sales Tax (4.712%) will be added to all packages.

  • I believe the best photographs happen when you feel comfortable being yourselves.

    My approach is relaxed, natural, and connection-focused. I’ll guide you when needed, but I never force stiff poses or awkward moments. As a Big Island photographer, I know beautiful locations, ideal lighting conditions, and how to create an enjoyable experience from start to finish.

  • Every image is professionally edited for color, exposure, contrast, and overall consistency.

    Included editing:

    • Color correction

    • Lighting adjustments

    • Skin tone refinement

    • Minor distractions and blemish removal

    Not included:

    • Body reshaping

    • Extensive retouching

    • Hair or makeup alterations

    • Major Photoshop manipulations

    Additional retouching may be available upon request for an additional fee.

  • I recommend soft, neutral, and complementary colors that work beautifully with Hawaii’s natural scenery. After booking, I’ll send a detailed style guide with outfit suggestions and tips to help everyone look their best.

  • I closely monitor weather conditions before every session. If conditions are unsafe or heavy rain makes the session impossible, we’ll reschedule at no additional charge whenever possible.

  • Absolutely. Most of my clients tell me they’re not comfortable in front of the camera—and that’s completely normal.

    I’ll provide gentle direction throughout the session while encouraging natural interaction so your photos feel genuine, relaxed, and authentic.

  • Yes. Your gallery includes high-resolution images with personal printing rights. You’re welcome to print them wherever you choose, though I recommend professional photo labs for the best color accuracy and print quality.

  • Yes. Extended family sessions are available and are a wonderful way to document multiple generations together while visiting Hawaii. Custom packages are available depending on group size.

  • Some of my favorite locations include:

    • Kailua-Kona

    • Waikoloa

    • Mauna Lani

    • Kohala Coast

    • Hapuna Beach
