Echoing previous…read morecomments, Crystal makes you feel comfortable from clothing selection, locations, and the overall experience from start to finish. I typically do not like taking photos at all, yet had a great time during my shoot. The end result was more than I could have expected. If you had any hesitation about booking a shoot like I did, fear not, and book now!

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.

I don't know where to begin when talking bout Mahina... she is honestly such an incredible soul. We…read moreare a Queer couple from Virginia who was having a wedding all the way in Oahu, so finding someone just right for us was essential! From the very first time we talked to her (over the phone) and then to our first Zoom meeting, it was like we had known her for forever and hadn't even met her in person yet!! She has such a comfortable nature about her, and she makes you feel so relaxed and natural. On top of all of that, SHE'S SO FREAKING TALENTED!! (Seriously, check out her instagram) Thank you Mahina, for everything you did for us on our wedding day and after. We will cherish our photos forever and can't wait to come back to Oahu to visit. If you are looking for an incredible and flexible photography for your wedding, family photos, baby shower, birthday event, anything, she is your girl.

I've loved taking photos from when I was in high school, but it's been a long time since I've felt…read morecomfortable in front of a camera. I'm definitely a little more awkward feeling and shy than I used to be, but Mahina made me feel so much more comfortable and confident ! A friend of mine asked me (an amateur) to be a model (gasp lol) for some products she was releasing, bags, tees, etc. so I of course was nervous but so happy to help. We shot at two locations on two separate days, the first being a more private secluded area and the second a much more public walk through town. My friend didn't really know what she wanted to do just that she needed these pieces shot so she could do this next launch but Mahina really stepped up, took control, and helped make the shoot as efficient and comfortable as possible. She was kind, creative, funny, and so sweet ! Mahina totally hyped us up and made us feel good about it throughout the shoot. She has such a fun and lively energy that makes her easy to work with. Overall, these photos were beautiful and really showcased my friend and her business in such a beautiful light (literally and figuratively of course). I've seen some of her work for other artists, weddings, couples, businesses, families, etc. and would 1000% recommend you check her out and book her for your photography needs. She shoots from Hawaii to New York and she does an amazing job !!

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.

She was very communicative and accommodating ahead of the photo shoot: our party included two kids under 10 years old, and as a result we changed time and location a few times. We settled on the backyard of the Kailua home where we were staying. Kristen arrived promptly and kept us moving throughout the photo shoot; she did a great job keeping the kids engaged as well. The yard was nicely gardened and included plumeria plants and a banana tree. Kristen put all of the flowers and foliage to creative use in her photos, and even used some recently fallen banana tree leaves for a fun dramatic effect. The finished pictures arrived in the time window promised, look great, and are a lasting memento of our trip. We wholeheartedly recommend Kristen!

She is a natural-born photographer whose passion lets the subject, environment, and atmosphere spark her creativity that is so hard to find.

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.
