She is so warm, communicative and a wonderful person all around. Our interactions never felt merely transitional, you could feel her love and passion for creating these magical memories on (digital) "film". Our session was everything you could ever ask for.

We loved our maternity photos so much that we knew we had to come back and recreate them--this time with our toddler. Last month we booked her again and it truly felt like a full-circle moment for our family. She captured it perfectly all over again and she was so sweet with my toddler too - he loved her! The entire experience from first communication to photoshoot day was seamless, fun, and easy going. She also has such a great eye for detail!

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!

If you're in Oahu and looking for a photographer, I highly recommend Michelle!

In November 2025 I had such an incredible experience with JP Moulin Photography! From the moment I…read morearrived, getting my hair and makeup done by Rosie, I felt completely taken care of Rosie was so warm, friendly, and talented it really set the tone for the entire shoot. When it came time to work with JP, he was the perfect balance of professional and personable. He created such a comfortable, safe space and knew exactly how to guide me in a way that made me feel 100% confident in my body. What started as a simple clothed shoot naturally evolved into an implied nude session and I never once felt anything but empowered and supported. If you've ever thought about doing something like this, don't hesitate! This is an experience you won't regret. 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. Fair warning... you'll probably want to book another session just to feel that magic all over again and capture even more stunning photos!

From the moment I arrived, the wife did an incredible job with my hair and makeup. She is so personable, warm, and immediately put me at ease. The husband was the photographer, and as someone who can be quite shy, I was a little nervous. He completely transformed the experience for me--making me feel comfortable, safe, and genuinely confident throughout the entire session. The experience went way beyond my expectations, and the results speak for themselves. They give you the option to have a certain amount edited or keep all the photos, and we decided to keep them all. My husband LOVED every single unedited photo! If you are on the fence or nervous about booking a shoot, trust this amazing team. They are professional, talented, and pure magic!

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 love her to death! If you are looking to capture a special moment or just want to feel empowered, here is why Daphne is the person to call: The Boudoir Experience: Pure Confidence First off, you do not need to be a model. Daphne makes you feel beautiful regardless of what anyone else says. She is positive, patient, easy-going, and an amazing communicator. She makes the cutest comments while shooting ("You look so sexy!" or "Hold that pose, it's perfect!"), which instantly boosts your mood. The Coaching: She guides your body into specific positions. Yes, sometimes the poses feel a little "uncomfortable" in the moment, but trust me--it is worth it! When you see the results, you'll literally think, "Wait, that's me?!" She helps every woman feel confident and fall in love with their own skin. Engagement Photos: Capturing the Love For our engagement session, the weather was on our side, and Daphne's cues produced the most stunning photos. It was my husband's first time in front of a professional camera, and he was definitely a bit nervous. I was there to help him smile, but Daphne's constant "cute comments" about us as a couple really helped him settle in and made me feel wonderful. Daphne has a gift for bringing out the best in people and making the process feel natural and fun. Whether it's a gift for someone special or a treat for yourself, you won't regret booking her!
