Not to mention that Crystal went out of her way from Kailua to Ko Olina to accommodate my wife's late stage pregnancy tether to our home. Would recommend this service to anyone and everyone looking for a professional on the island of Oahu.

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.

Not only is she incredibly talented, but she also made us feel comfortable and captured genuine, beautiful moments with the most amazing scenery! 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! We're beyond grateful to have these memories captured and for her! Thank you Krystal Highly recommend!

Aloha, Tara is a true professional photographer, knows how…read moreto handle the ohana, especially 1 year old! I am the type of person wanting & needing to reach out to 3 - 4 companies for information/inquires for services. Same as anyone wanting services for roofing, painting, solar and AC for their home. I reached out to 2-3 photographers, I advised wanting a photo shoot at a park, no beaches, yes I know we will in Hawaii but everyone does a beach photo. First photographer didn't even respond to my online, email requests. I even called the phone number listed, left a message, no call back. Second photographer confirmed will not be a good fit for my request due to only does nature photography, so only beaches, hmmm, last I checked parks with trees is nature! Final photographer, Sky & Reef Photography -Tara Morenfeld with all the information I requested for. Reserved a Sunday morning date, Tara was on time and ready to go. Worked with the 1year old first, while baby is in a good mood! Worked with each individual ohana then entire ohana. I highly recommend Sky & Reef photography Tara Morenfeld for your next photo session! Again Tara is a professional and keeps her word on how to work the ohana!

It was a fun day and also a great way to get introduced to some local areas of Hawaii! The communication process was easy via email with generally quick replies when she was not busy. Photoshoot was booked well in advance as well! Only thing I wished was the ability to create a pinterest board with some ideas but it was no biggie! There were a lot of photos my hubs and I loved!! Some of them even better than the ideas we originally wanted! Overall it was a great experience to look back to. She was able to capture the celebration of 7 years of marriage. These photos are great to look back to and are ones we will cherish for many many years. We were also very fortunate to have been able to book a time with her in the most busy season of the year. Thank you Tara!!

I was hesitant and nervous the day of the photoshoot because I'm not one to do something so bold but Monica put me at ease. Crystal did my hair and makeup and I wish I could copy what she did again.

Her creativity definately shows in her pictures and she is so amazing with the things she can do with the elements and the environment. I enjoyed her down to earth personality and it made the session feel more comfortable and fun. She made great use of the scenery and the photos looked like they could be in a magazine...without even being touched up! She is a natural-born photographer whose passion lets the subject, environment, and atmosphere spark her creativity that is so hard to find. She was definately fun to work with and I was sad to see our session end, but in the end, her photos are amazing and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND her! Great spots: Waimanolo Beach and Botanical Gardens :)

One thing that made a big impact with us was how we traveled together, and recommended we stop for a little while to enjoy the Pali lookout. As someone who was born and raised in Hawaii (now living in Illinois) and returning for a week, I was surprised to have a photographer who knew the island so well, so much so that there were places even I had never known about! Count me in the list of most praiseworthy reviews for her passion, her social nature, and her flexibility for whatever challenges may come her way. Somehow she always seems to make turn any obstacle into an unexpected opportunity. We proudly feature our entire portfolio of her work on our own Flickr account, and our best photos of the bunch at http://bit.ly/mailaphotos. Photos with loved ones are about saving the most precious memories and the most precious times, and Malia gave us a precious treasure that will last forever. Your search is over - book her now!

We had a newborn session with Lucie, who is truly a master of her craft and a real baby whisperer…read more She was quick to respond to all of my questions leading up to the shoot and made sure we captured every pose we had hoped for. We never felt rushed during the session--she allowed plenty of time for diaper changes and feeding. In fact, we even went overtime because she genuinely wanted to ensure we got all the poses we wanted. I especially appreciated how she included all members of our family and was incredibly accommodating and patient with our dog. Lucie offers a wide variety of beautiful props in her studio and was also more than willing to incorporate special items we brought from home. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and are so grateful for the memories she captured. We look forward to working with her again for future milestones and life events.

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.
