He chose a variety of poses, included everyone and made sure our hair was perfect despite the wind. Radek was patient with my 3 year old granddaughter.

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!

Michelle was super friendly, easy to work with, and made the whole process so comfortable. I love her soft, bright style of photography and our photos turned out exactly how I imagined--absolutely beautiful! Even after the photos were taken, she went above and beyond--helping with image fixes and being so patient with all my requests for help. These are memories we'll treasure forever. If you're in Oahu and looking for a photographer, I highly recommend Michelle!

I was recommended Limitless Pacific by a friend, and was a bit apprehensive as they had no reviews…read moreon Yelp, but everyone's gotta start somewhere :) However, the communication pre-shoot was excellent (they asked me what I'm looking for, sent samples similar to the shots I wanted, asked to see samples from me), and when I met Luis & Catherine, I was totally at ease. This was my first professional photo shoot, and it went great! Catherine helped with outfit/look suggestions, and Luis had the patience to keep trying the shot until we got just the right lighting and expression and everything, and the humor to get me to laugh for real :) Will update once I get the photos, but from what I've seen on the camera preview, I have no doubt they'll be great!

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.

In our first meeting, the insights she shared with me on my gene keys gave me massive breakthroughs, and all the information she shared with me on the research she did on my business before we met was priceless! She shared with me what she thought was amazing and so many incredible ideas that I can use to make it more powerful. From advice on my social media to guidance on messaging, the value she provided is extensive, and I'm still integrating them into my business. She gave me a safe place to be vulnerable and uncover sides of myself that were suppressed. It was incredible to be able to work on those pieces and then show up for the shoot in my new energy, and she was able to capture that new power through her photos! She is incredible, the way she sees people and brings out their magic! She also helped me to feel so safe during the shoot to play with my new power and to own it and claim it. She is incredibly supportive and coaches you the entire way. I can't believe how amazing the photos are! They have brought my brand to the next level, and I'm already seeing the difference her images are making in my business as well as in my confidence! I am incredibly grateful because I know this is just the beginning of the results that are showing up from working with her! If you are thinking of working with her, I would suggest booking her right away because the only thing you'll have wished is that you worked with her sooner!
