From the first quick inital response to my inquiry and the detailed instructions was so helpful. Radek allowed me to personalize our experience with a specific location and time of day since I wanted to have photo session during sunset. I appreciate his attention to detail to make sure every picture was perfect. He was so quick and efficient so we were able to shoot so many photos during our session. His rates are very affordable and worth it, I would recommend him to all my family and friends. Lastly I'm so appreciative of his quick turn around time, I was so impressed that our photos were available after 1week. Thank you Radek, we will definitely be requesting more photo shoots in the future.

They were also unbelievably prompt with editing and releasing our photos -- we could not believe how quickly everything was completed! Radek was wonderful throughout the entire process. He gave great direction during the shoot to make sure the photos turned out amazing while still feeling natural and comfortable. His knowledge of the area was also so helpful, and he helped us choose the perfect location for our ceremony. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful. They captured not only us, but also our family, the emotions of the ceremony, and all of the little moments that made the day unforgetable. We are forever grateful for the memories they captured and the effort and care they put into everything for us. Great communication, beautiful work, and an all-around wonderful experience. You truly cannot go wrong with them. Highly recommend!

She coordinated with me and my husband leading up to the…read morephotoshoot, answered all of our questions, made suggestions on locations, and gave us all the information we needed to have our photo session be a success! Once on the beach she was such a pleasure to talk to just as a human being, and made taking pictures relaxing, she did such a great job with our two year old son (making him laugh) and me being pregnant (feeling comfortable in a see-thru flowy gown). She told me the pictures could take up to 2-3 weeks before we got them, and around week 4 I text her to make sure everything was okay, and the next day she sent us the pictures. I didn't want to to rush her because I did a lot of research on photographers and her aesthetic was so beautiful and worth waiting for, but was insanely relieved that all was good and gave us the pictures close to checking in. My only feedback to anyone working with Krystal is to give her the time she needs to do her job - it's worth every penny and minute! And when she delivered the pictures they were incredible. They turned out SO GOOD! I knew they'd be good but I still have no idea how she was able to capture some of the photos she did. These are priceless memories we get to keep forever thanks to her and I'm so grateful we were able to book Krystal for a maternity photoshoot. I will be contacting Krystal again for photos in the future for all our family events from here on. We love her work and want to say thank you!

From the very beginning, Krystal was incredibly responsive, kind, patient, and accommodating. When our travel plans changed a few weeks before our session, she effortlessly adjusted our time without any issue. During the session, Krystal made us feel completely comfortable--even though we're not natural "posers" or used to professional photos. We are absolutely in love with how our pictures turned out! The quality is incredible, and my husband was especially impressed that we received so many beautiful images to choose from. If you're considering photos while visiting Hawaii or need someone to capture a special occasion, family session, or couples shoot, we highly recommend Krystal. Thank you, Krystal, for capturing our 10-year anniversary trip so beautifully!

The photos turned out even better than I imagined. She didn't just capture how everything looked - she captured how it felt. The love, the little in-between moments, the natural joy of the day... it's all there. And somehow, she made the already stunning Oahu backdrop look even more beautiful. Also, shoutout to her patience because the wind was aggressively fighting my bangs the entire time, and she handled it so seamlessly without ever making it feel stressful or rushed. Genuinely couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. If you're even considering booking her - do it. The quality of her work and the experience she creates are both so, so worth it!

Disappointing and disorganized experience We took our kids…read moreto take photos with Santa at Ka Makana and made an appointment for 3:25 PM. Despite having a scheduled time, we weren't seen until close to 4:00 PM. There was no clear organization in the line appointments and walk-ins were mixed together, and walk-ins were being taken before those with reservations. When our appointment time had already passed and we stepped forward to ask when we would be seen, we were criticized by others in line, which was uncomfortable and completely avoidable with proper line management. The most disappointing part was the actual interaction with Santa. There was little engagement with the kids, they weren't asked what they wanted for Christmas. This was especially frustrating since the reservation form specifically asks what your child wants for Christmas. What's the point of including that information if it's never used? We made an appointment expecting a smoother process and a more magical, personalized experience for our kids. Unfortunately, neither happened. Definitely not what we expected, especially during the holidays.

Highly Recommend Russell Tanoue -- Professional, Passionate, and Truly Relatable…read more I recently had my headshots done by Russell Tanoue, and I can honestly say this was one of the best photography experiences I've ever had. Russell is extremely professional and organized. He guided me through poses and angles that I had never tried in past photo shoots, and that alone made a huge difference in the final results. His attention to detail and ability to direct without making you feel stiff or uncomfortable really stood out. What made this experience even more meaningful was how relatable he is on a personal level. As a caregiver myself, I connected deeply with Russell because he also took care of his parents. We spent time talking about caregiving, our moms, life, and the spiritual side of it all. That connection meant a lot to me. Another thing that truly touched my heart was that Russell gave me a discount simply because I am a caregiver. That alone shows the kind of heart he has--compassionate, understanding, and genuine. He made the entire shoot fun and relaxed. There was so much natural laughter--he would giggle, dance, and bring such great energy that it helped me relax and smile naturally. I've worked with other photographers before, but I've never had an experience like this. Because of his quality work and professionalism, I'm already thinking about updating my photos every six months. I highly recommend Russell Tanoue to any actors or models who are unsure about where to go for headshots. You won't just get great photos--you'll get an unforgettable experience. Matai'a Hio.

I can honestly say it's more than just a photo shoot; it's a confidence boost, a moment of self-love and a chance to see yourself in a whole new light.

Mike was very understanding and said we could play it be ear as the day gets closer. The day before, we decided to meet in the morning instead, which Mike graciously accommodated. The photoshoot itself was a very pleasant and seamless experience. Mike was very friendly and made us feel at ease. Newborns are not always the most cooperative, which Mike was very understanding about. We even went over the hour-long time limit of the photoshoot, which he said not to worry about.
