His response was lightning fast,and his customer service was top-notch-I've never experienced anything like it!He asked about our preferred location,and when we said no,he recommended a spot that was PERFECT. My daughter loved working with him;he's super professional,friendly,and full of energy! The pics were-we loved them all! We ended up hiring Kyler twice(graduation and her 18th bday party),and we're still obsessed with the results. Kyler and Lance are a dream team-easy to work with and totally professional. We've worked with a bunch of photographers,but Kai-Photo is on another level (and their prices are so reasonable!). I'm still smiling every time I look at the photos-they're just that good! Highly recommended Kai-Photo Hawai'i for your next event or photo shoot. Can't wait to work with them again! Thank you,Kyler and team -job well done! M. Domingo Obana P.S. Love our photo book from July 2025 too!"

We had the absolute best experience with Michelle in Oahu. From the moment we met her, she was so…read moreeasy to work with - calm, kind, and just someone who instantly makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera (which is not always easy). 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!

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!

A week before we left, I contacted Mike to see if he'd be available to do a family photoshoot. He was super responsive, and everything was set up within a couple days. He recommended a time in the afternoon to meet for "golden hour", but we were a bit apprehensive about the time due to our baby's sleep schedule. 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. I also mentioned how I liked some shots he did with another family that I saw on his website, which he was happy to try to recreate with us!

The last time there was anything professionally photographed in my life was my wedding....almost 10 years ago. Jeanne made our mini session so comfortable and was awesome with the kids!! Made them comfortable enough to laugh and play, which resulted in both wonderful professional shots and amazing candids. Her mini session includes 5 images with options to upgrade....I loved them all so much I had to get more! I'm very grateful for Jeanne's patience and upbeat attitude. She's got me looking for another occasion to have photos taken!! Maybe I can convince my hubs to remarry me (hint hint wink wink). If you are looking for a quick family session her mini sessions are great!! She's amazing and is great with animals and kids and kids who pretend to be animals!

The quick review:…read more Jeanne is communicative, professional, thorough, and fun! She makes people feel comfortable in front of the lens, and does an excellent job adapting to the occasion--for big groups and small. She is efficient so you can enjoy your wedding ASAP AND still get beautiful, timeless photos. Thorough review: Jeanne did our elopement during the pandemic, and our photos came out beautifully. We did a 1 year anniversary party/vow renewal/reception, so we definitely were going to have more people. Jeanne and I communicated what shots I wanted, who I wanted photos of, etc. Since we only had 30 guests, she came up with this brilliant idea to have her second shooter take portraits and candid shots of them. That way, their photos could be sent with our thank you cards. She also communicated the timeline beforehand, which I really appreciated. On the day of the wedding, she let us know when she was at the venue, and what time she would walk over to the hotel (the properties neighbor each other). She was prompt, professional, and always fun. My husband's family hadn't worked with her before, and she made them feel comfortable in all the photos she took of them. Based on our timeline, she had us take the family portraits after the ceremony. She was efficient, quick, and so funny. Everyone was smiling, we got through them quickly, and everyone was able to enjoy cocktail hour on time. It took about 1.5 months to get the edits back, and needless to say, everyone loved the photos. My father-in-law changed his Facebook profile pictures to the ones she took IMMEDIATELY. I think it's safe to say he liked them. I love how soft and dreamy the photos look. They're timeless and would look good anywhere. I love that the edits aren't too stylized and really captured how intimate and fun our event was. I would recommend hiring Jeanne for anything, really. Working with her is a delight, and I wish I could think up more special occasions for us to hire her... So I hope you will!

The reasons why we chose Bodhi to take our family photos: 1…read more He responded very quickly to our request for a quote (the same with a few other photographers). 2. He was able to fit us in his schedule with only a WEEK notice (the same with a few other photographers). 3. His quote was much cheaper compared to $500 from another photographer (who also wanted the $500 up front due to the short notice). 4. His website has TONS of family photos on the beach. One of our sons has autism and the other is a wild two-year old. Bodhi was fun, friendly, down-to-earth, and extremely patient with our kids. He was able to get their attention just enough for him to get some "formal" shots, even at 5:30 in the morning. We were hoping for at least a very nice family photo on the beach and we got a truly EPIC family photo on the beach (with some fantastic candid shots, too). What are you waiting for?
