Kris is such an amazing photographer with a beautiful soul! She was the perfect person for our wedding day back in July! During our consultation, we connected immediately. We talked through some ideas and she was able to bring our vision to life. It was effortless working with her. My husband and I are not the best at taking pictures but, with her direction, she was able to capture us so beautifully. We had so much fun! We also get so many compliments on our photos. If you choose to go with Kris, you WILL NOT regret it. We love her so much! read more

Easily the best experience with a photographer to date! Every time we visit Oahu we try to have family photos taken. We found Kris on Instagram and she was quick to respond to my DM. Kris gave us suggestions for locations and we ended up at Wai'alae Beach Park. She was super personable and made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the experience. We received our photos within two weeks and they were amazing. Kris captured beautiful photos of our little family that we will definitely cherish. She has an amazing eye and was so easy to work with. Don't pass up the chance to work with her!! Thank you so much Kris!! read more

Kristie is such an amazing photographer. She is so professional, yet flexible and goes above and beyond to accommodate her clients to make their special day even more special. She is someone who really makes her clients feel comfortable in every aspect of the shoot. My husband, who isn't one for having his photo taken, was able to relax and (with the help of our incredible photographer) take the best photos that we've taken to date! She not only meets the needs of her clients, but by far exceeds your expectations!! We eloped last minute and she was able to arrange a time with me to be able to capture our special day, which I will always be grateful for. The experience with which she directed not only us, but our family, made the shoot that much more amazing. She made us feel like family and ensured that we got the best of the best out of our day. Thank you so much, Kristie! We will definitely be booking with you again for any future events and special occasions! read more

Definetly recommend her and would use her again read more

I had inquired Kristie to take our engagement photos through Instagram. Since that initial conversation, the communication has been spectacular. She is kind, humorous, open minded and easy to talk to and it was reflected once again when my fiancé and I were in front of the camera and she was guiding us on how to pose. She made our awkward selves feel so comfortable. Of all the amazing shots Kristie got, my favorites were the candids she took. Somehow, she was able to capture what was most important in my relationship, being silly and having fun... I was so pleased with the photos we received just TWO weeks later; we even booked her for another shoot a month before our wedding! I'm so excited to continue using Kristie and her services HIGHLY recommend!!! read more

I found Kristie on Instagram and immediately fell in love with her work. I knew right off the bat that she was the one i wanted to work with in capturing my family portraits. The quality and style of her images stood out in a crowd of photographers I researched. I noticed her style was candid and relaxed but yet she was able to capture a modern and timeless photo. Kristie's vibe aligned exactly with what i was looking for. After meeting with her on Zoom, it was clear that we were a great match. The connection and ease i found with her really shows on our final product. We are generally very awkward and silly but Kristie knew exactly how to make us feel at ease and it was more like we were just hanging out with a friend. She took her time and we didn't feel rushed at all. I have to say it was one of the best photo sessions ever!!! Don't hesitate and go ahead and book with Kristie. She's very professional and easy to communicate with. She will create the photos you will cherish for the rest of your life. read more

Let me first start and say that this is the first photography session I have ever booked for my family with a non-family member. I met Kristie at work, not photography related. We clicked pretty quick. Kristie as a person... she is funny, creative, smart, very easy-going, friendly ... the list goes on, reason why we worked well within that short period she was with me. When I saw her skills as a photographer, I was very intrigued and wanted to see how she would be able to capture my family's pictures. Days leading to our photoshoot, I reached out to Kristie, who was very open with ideas and did not hesitate to share them. She went over and beyond for my family. She was always available when it came to responding to any of my questions, which was very important to me because I knew that she cared. This also put my worries to rest. She reassured me that "SHE GOT US". And she did. As a photographer, she has a creative talent and an eye that captured moments of my family that were so natural. Kristie's creativity and effort was definitely revealed through the quality in our photos. We look forward to our future sessions with Kris Ou Phouto. We are very grateful for the time she has spent with us read more

I loved working with Kristie and the photos of me and son came out great! i'm usually very awkward and unsure of how to pose for photos! But she makes it very easy and natural!

Kristie is an amazing and creative photographer! Her own style shines through while she is photographing the moment and in her editing. She has the ability to shoot anything from sceneries to portraits! Take it from someone who hates being in front of the camera, she easily makes you feel comfortable and guides you to try different poses. I definitely felt a little weird posing as I'm not used to it, but her encouraging words make it run smoothly. She knows how to hype someone up, and be your #1 cheerleader! My favorite thing about Kristie is that she'll take the time to get the right photo and won't make you feel rushed. Lastly, her turnaround time for the edited photos is very quick, but she is very careful when it comes to editing. She is her biggest critic so she takes her time to get the perfect photo! She makes it a priority to get the photos edited, and you truly see her passion through the photos. Kristie doesn't just photograph your pictures, but she'll be with your from start to finish and be THE MOST encouraging and passionate photographer, cheerleader, and editor you'll meet! read more

Kris is such a talented creative and wonderful human. My husband and I feel so lucky we got to work with her as she shot our wedding ceremony and reception. Her talent and services extend far beyond photography. She provided incredible recommendations for vendors and venues, and supported us as we planned our microwedding from a distance. We knew that we wanted our wedding and reception to feel unique and intimate, and I had a LOT of ideas for how we wanted to incorporate art, family, and community into our day. Kris was my ultimate hype-girl. She worked with me and my partner on our vision for our day, how to achieve it, and how we would like to see our day and our love captured. It resulted in an experience and photos that surpassed my wildest dreams. Kris has a phenomenal eye. There were so many views and experiences within our wedding day that I felt were "pictures don't do it justice" moments. Well, Kris's photos ABSOLUTELY do it justice. I look at the photos and I just feel overwhelmed in the best way possible by how she was able to capture love in so many different forms within our day. My husband and both our families felt so much comfort and joy working with Kris. She was such an incredible presence in our day, and the comfort we felt is beautifully reflected in our wedding photos. Kris was able to capture us as we are, filled with excitement and warmth and love and joy on such a great day. I work with creative people often, and I have never in my life worked with such a talented, professional, supportive, hardworking human being. I can not say enough great things about our experience working with Kris from day one. She is such a special person and amazing, AMAZING photographer. read more

Kristie is phenomenal! She's very upbeat and professional. She really goes out of her way to meet your needs and find the best shot. Despite the last minute change in weather, Kristie was able to make the best out of the situation which left me so hopeful! I tend to be awkward in front of a camera, but I felt so relaxed and comfortable around Kristie. I highly recommend Kristie for capturing any beautiful moment you want to cherish forever!! read more

My husband and I had booked a photography session right after we booked our honeymoon. For months, I followed Kris Ou Photo on Instagram and fell more and more in love with each post. She made it a story each time, the photos told so much in such a simple post. We did our shoot with her and I cried to my husband on the way back to the hotel because I wanted Kris to continue to photograph us for every event, she made everything so fun and I finally understand how she gets people to look REAL in her photos, because she's amazing at her job. Some people study to be good photographers, but people like Kris are born for it. Book her for anything and everything in Oahu! read more

What I can say about Kris and her photos words cant even describe! The whole process of finding her and keeping in contact until the actual date was the easiest thing! She was available at all times to assist with any questions I had to ensure I had a great experience. I even had to change the date and that was no issue at all! Once meeting her, it was pure bliss! She made it so easy to be ourselves and gave us instruction as needed. (First timer) it was absolutely amazing to meet this wonderful person and the pictures were all breathtaking. I couldn't have been any happier with how absolutely everything came out! I only hope I can use her again in the future! read more
