We had a trip to Maui coming up and wanted to get family portraits done so we decided to book with Amber as well. I am so glad we did because I think we've found our forever family photographer! We've had photo sessions before that felt stiff and overly posed and the pictures ended up looking like the generic stock image that's included when you buy a picture frame. It's also very hard to get our 4.5 year old son and 13 year old four-legged son to stay engaged for an entire photoshoot. And we also just had a baby to add into the mix! A two-hour photo session could have very well ended up being super stressful with baby, kiddo, and mom & dad crying. Our session with Amber was completely different and so much fun! She captured our family in a way that felt authentic, natural, and genuinely us! She is also like a baby, kiddo, and doggy whisperer and we have some photos of them that are absolute gems! These are more than just photos. We now have something that takes us back to a special moment in time and we will truly treasure forever.

Caitlin is without a doubt, the absolute BEST! Aside from her quick emailed responses and detailed…read morequestions to ensure that we got exactly the pictures we wanted, she is patient and very sweet to work with. From the first correspondence via email with her, Caitlin has been very responsive and helpful. She responds very quickly and definitely inspires confidence when dealing with a vendor for a destination wedding. Aside from all of those wonderful qualities, on our wedding day, Caitlin was 38 weeks pregnant and she did not miss a step one bit! From the pictures of us getting ready to the cake-cutting at the end of the night, Caitlin was there and so full of energy, you would not have known she was ready to have her little one in a few weeks! She was going down on the rocks right with us to take our photos along the rocky shoreline. I am pretty sure she was steadier on her feet than I was! Overall, I have to say that Caitlin definitely made my wedding-day experience the best it could be! We are so happy having her as our choice of photographers!

Her work stood out to me from my very beginning research... it seemed every photo I loved online was one of hers!

On the day of she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and I 100% trusted her for all the poses/tips and could not be happier. My sneak peeks and final photos were delivered exactly when she said as well which was awesome. She is so extremely talented and has such a great personality too! Absolutely loved working with her and can't recommend her enough!

Jenny took amazing photos for my husband and I. They were stunning!…read more That being said, about two weeks before the photo shoot, Jenny sent an email saying that she was no longer available on the date we had scheduled, and that she might need to send an associate in her place. This was disappointing, as I had booked 4 months in advance and already scheduled a non-refundable make up artist for the photos. Jenny offered another date and the make up artist ended up graciously being able to come then, but it was very stressful to have to hear that we may not be able to have the photoshoot two weeks before our vacation.

On the day of our wedding it was raining, not ideal for an outdoor wedding, and Jenny was there every step of the way from offering a new location to try, transporting us there and adapting on the fly. We eventually got to a new location and the weather was clear and it worked out perfectly! The photos are stunning and she was able to capture the sunset lighting we wanted as well as utilize the surrounding environment to take some truly spectacular photos. Jenny was extremely professional and communication was very easy. She always responded quickly and answered all of our questions. We are so happy with how the photos turned out. Thanks Jenny!

On the day of she was on time and ready to go! We brought our two young kids and she was so good at making them comfortable just being themselves so she could capture some lovely shots. We also encountered some extremely strong wind but she just went with it and found the right locations and shots to take. Most importantly, the pictures she captured of our family are so beautiful and fully encapsulate the personalities of our kids. She really puts her all into her work and it really shows. Would definitely work with her again in the future whenever we return to Maui!

She took our photoshoot to the next level by coming up with a "Christmas by the Beach" concept and recommended a beach location that had a stunning backdrop of the ocean and was easy to access. She provided styling tips like the family pajama print to use for the shoot and even procured a beautifully decorated Christmas tree prop to set the scene. The Christmas tree in particular caught the attention of many folks passing by and they were in awe and absolutely delighted to be able to take a picture with it as well. Overall, our session went very smoothly and we couldn't recommend Emma enough for your photography needs. In the past, most photographers I've worked with for family photoshoots around Hawaii will outsource the actual shoot to their team of photographers and then the owner will work on editing the shots themselves. With Emma, you can rest assured knowing that she's going to take care of your photography needs from start to finish and prepare you as best she can for a smooth experience. She's the real deal!

I actually found Jasmyn on Yelp and right away I loved her style and approach to photography. Natural, candid and beautiful. My sister is a professional photographer too so I knew what I was looking for. When I shared Jasmyn's work with my sister, she also agreed that Jasmyn is talented and has great style. She was so easy to communicate with and very responsive. I especially love how she really wanted to get to know us and what our vision is for our photo shoot. What really put the cherry on top was her creating a Pinterest board with some style ideas for what to wear for our beach photo shoot. I'm so glad you suggested a beautiful white dress because the photos look amazing on the black sand beach! She was so fun to work with and was totally chill when my baby started to get fussy/hungry/tired during the shoot (oh the baby trifecta!) and was so patient when I needed to stop to comfort him or nurse him. We had such a great time and now have timeless beautiful photos to capture our memories. I recommend Jasmyn to all my friends who plan to visit Maui and want photos, whether it's maternity or engagement or wedding or family!

We have a 20 month old who was not very interested in taking photos and she was able to still get many BEAUTIFUL shots of our family. Very natural photos which have life and vitality. Not your typical staged, stagnant family photos. She is very kind and easy to work with. Great with kids! Other photographers in the same price point only offered half of shooting time she provided and only 10-15ish edited photos. She offered 1hr for 100 edited photos. Quite a significant increase in value considering her work is so excellent.

If you're looking for a photographer while on vacation in Maui- look no further!…read more Caitlin was amazing and responsive from start to finish. I searched a lot of Maui photographers through yelp to find one that took genuine and not super 'staged' looking pictures. I was really trying to avoid the typical 'beach' pictures. Caitlin achieved what I was hoping for. Our pictures are phenomenal. We are not super photogenic people and Caitlin was able to direct us into looking natural and comfortable. They look genuine and beautiful. The location and time of day that she picked were perfect. I was wanting a couple of pictures with a onesie I had made to announce our pregnancy.. I was aiming to just have nice couple photos with a few 'maternity' thrown in (I'm still very early in my second trimester so I don't really look it yet!) TLDR; book Caitlin. She was a delight and her work is incredible. Thank you Caitlin!!!

If you acknowledge photography as an art form and are looking to hire a professional who is true to…read moretheir craft, vision and expertise, then you'll LOVE Wendy's approach to her work. We had the pleasure of working with Wendy on our last visit to Maui. She was responsive, focused and punctual. We hadn't been to the area in a few years so she was very willing to offer sound options in terms of site/ venue for a family photo shoot with my husband and our two young and very energetic children. The colors and hues she emphasizes in the shots are bright and vivid which is what first attracted us to her work (at the generous recommendation of another local photographer who we also enjoyed on a previous trip but was unavailable on our travel dates this time around.) We were looking for someone that was comfortable with candid imagery and capturing "real" moments for our family, so we felt that Wendy was a great match for our goals on this shoot. Wendy's attention to detail and direction before, during and after the shoot far exceeded my expectations. She was a joy to work with. Thank you for sharing your light, Wendy!

I researched several photographers' websites, but many of their family photos seemed a little tacky. When I came across Wendy's portfolio, I was impressed by her more artistic and candid style. She uses film, which is extremely rare these days! She agreed to meet us early in the morning, and she suggested a beautiful, secluded beach nearby. It turned out to be the perfect location because we had the entire beach to ourselves. She brought a couple props for the shoot and gave us just the right amount of direction. She made us feel really comfortable, and we even forgot she was there sometimes. I am absolutely amazed at how many beautiful pictures she was able to take in just one hour! I really love the joy she captured in the photos, and now those photos will always be a happy memory of our time in Maui. Thank you, Wendy!
