The best part of working with Naomi and seeing her photography has been the amazing feeling we get when we look over these photos - how they perfectly capture and remind us of the rush of feelings we had on that very special wedding day. THANK YOU!

I was sure I'd turn out incredibly awkward in all the photos, but Naomi was able to capture incredibly beautiful photos of my fiancé and I against a breathtaking environment. She is truly magical.

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!

Gemma's website has all the information you need to make an informed decision about your location, duration of shoot and budget, and she will also help personally guide you through your choices. Our family met Gemma at Ironwoods Beach for a sunset photoshoot with our very fun and very willful 18-month old. Gemma is incredibly warm, genuine and friendly and she will immediately put your whole family at ease and capture everyone at their best. She worked with us to ensure we got great shots with plenty of backdrops - we really wanted candids of us all playing together and wow, did she deliver! We even caught a couple of authentic Maui rainbows and she was able to capture those perfectly. If you are worried about the chaos of a beach photoshoot with a toddler, don't be! It was absolutely the best kind of chaos and by the end we all ended up covered in water and sand. And those are 100% my favorite photos. Gemma's final product is so much better than I could have ever hoped for - they're filled with laughter, love, and a sense of joy that perfectly captures our little family. We will cherish these memories and these photos for years to come. I cannot recommend Gemma enough!

From the moment she met my daughter, she made her feel comfortable, relaxed, and free to be herself. Because of that, the smiles she captured were genuine, joyful, and full of life -- never forced. My daughter loved her so much that she kept talking about "the photographer lady" long after our session. Even though our shoot was on a cloudy day, the experience and the photos were still amazing. We're already planning to book Amanda again on our next trip to Maui. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for beautiful photos and a wonderful experience.

She was very responsive and straight to the point. I like that I was able to book her immediately because she provided the contract & deposit instructions in the first email. She made it incredibly easy for me. When we got to Maui, Amy was able to help us choose a location and time to shoot. We ended up shooting at a beach 5 min away from our hotel in Wailea. Amy took really beautiful photos and even asked us if there were any specific shots that we wanted. It was a smooth shoot from beginning to end. Amy sent us a "sneak peak" photo couple days later and wow.. we were impressed! She even submitted that photo to an advertising campaign for a local hotel and our photo was chosen :) I received my USB today in the mail with all the photos and I am really satisfied w/ the photos. If you're looking for a photographer in Maui, don't hesitate to reach out to Amy!!
