She is easy to work with, fast turn around time, and has the eye for all types of styles and fashion. Very up to date, trendy, and wiling to go the extra mile.

She's not like all the other photographer who go hard on contrast etc. So if you're looking for a one of a kind ethereal photos and more, she is the one. Mahalo Leila for always providing quality & affordable work. Crystal

I am still reeling at how unprofessional Namita had been during this whole family photo situation…read more I had to constantly reach out to her if our photos were ready past the 2 week mark that she had given me.

Kayli and Matt are fantastic! I found them on Yelp, inquiring about a family photoshoot. They…read moreresponded quickly with details about how to book a session on their website. The process was fast and simple--find an available date on their calendar, and either pay a deposit or the full amount. We booked a mini session. For a family of 3-6, the shoot is 30 minutes and you receive 20 photos. In addition to that, I added the sneak peek package. Since we were visiting Kauai from California, I did what most people would do when they vacation--check the weather app. It showed rain for the entire week! You can imagine how devastated I felt. I sent an email and asked for their recommendation on how to proceed. They reassured me that island weather is pretty tricky and no weather app is ever accurate. I trusted their judgement, and it gave me confidence to move forward. Fast forward to the day of the shoot. We shot at Kalapaki Beach--a beautiful, iconic beach. It did not rain, but it was overcast a bit for a period of time. That didn't bother me because they took great photos. We're grateful for their patience with our two rambunctious boys (ages 3 & 5). They worked so well with them, and our boys felt really comfortable. At one point, Kayli asked our youngest to "run to Uncle Matt" and I thought that was sweet--felt like we were treated like family. On top of that, they made sure we got all the shots we wanted--I think we may have went over the 30 minute limit. But I could tell they enjoy taking photos to get the best shots. They are so great to work with. At the end of the shoot, Kayli had a special surprise for our boys. She had them pick three things from a Magic Box full of small trinkets and toys. What a sweet and thoughtful gesture! Our boys loved it. Overall, our experience was lovely. From their first response to post photoshoot. Kayli and Matt are responsive, kind, patient and passionate about photography. They are truly professionals. I would absolutely recommend them. When we go back to visit with more of our family, I mentioned to both Kayli and Matt that we'd love to bothem again.

Kayli was incredible throughout the entire planning process. Even though we never met her in person, she made everything feel easy, personal, and organized. Her communication, guidance, and care showed in every detail. Her husband, Matt, photographed our second shoot, and he was absolutely wonderful to work with. He did great at instructing us awkward folks to pose, and was able to capture those natural moments that feel so genuine. Ipo also did a fantastic job documenting our ceremony, and we are so thankful to have those memories preserved so beautifully. The florals were perfect. I brought my haku lei and bouquet through the airport to enjoy throughout my honeymoon. Every detail felt thoughtful, organized, and perfectly matched to the vision we had described. This team really does it all, and does it with talent, kindness, and true artistry. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Mahalo!!

We booked an engagement session with Naomi in October 2017 at Ke'e beach. We had awful rain throughout the entire day. We were very concerned that the engagement session would not happen. We heard from Naomi throughout the afternoon about what we should do about the rain, alternative times / dates if the rain persisted. I was pretty panicked because I had paid for hair and makeup and I really wanted the photos done. Naomi was relaxed and wonderful throughout the session! Thankfully the rain dissipated. We had a wonderful experience during the session. Naomi gave easy instructing to direct us through different poses. She had a quick turn around with the photos. We are thrilled with the results. We have had great feedback from our families and friends about the photos. We have used them for our save the dates and wedding website.

First and foremost I reached out to about 3 other photographers on the island, the prices were a bit high for a short session. Also because I wasn't familiar with the area I asked the other photographers if they had any suggestions, most of them were pretty vague and didn't give me much feedback. I e-mailed Josh via his website, he replied pretty quickly and I sensed the enthusiasm in his e-mails he suggested a few places in the vicinity of the area we were staying at, I Googled them (all really beautiful) and his prices were very reasonable! He was our dude! Josh is really a chill and nice guy and also very professional (he was early and flexible with our meet time) and makes you feel relaxed throughout the whole session. Even the hubs who isn't really the let's pose and take pictures type said it was a cool experience. We will really cherish these photo keepsakes when we're old and gray and the great memories of our stay in Kauai. Thanks Josh!
