We booked a family photo session with Mel while we were on vacation. Our friends had previously…read moreused Mel and they recommended her. We corresponded over email and her response time is about a day or less. She has about 3 different packages and about 9 locations she likes to shoot at. We chose Kualoa regional park because it had a few different backgrounds (beach, mountains, outriggers, and dock). On the day of the session she met us at the park and we walked to the locations. She was very easy to work with and she was pretty in tune with the needs of our 1 and 2 year olds. When the girls got fussy or didn't feel like cooperating she would shoot couples pictures of us. Her prices are very reasonable and the pictures came out amazing. We will definitely use her services again if we're back on Oahu.

Mel recently did a photo shoot for our extended family while we were visiting Oahu. I can't even…read moredescribe how great she is! Her professionalism, expertise, and friendliness were second to none! We had our 4 1/2 month old niece and nephew twins there and Mel was so great in not only organizing the photos to accommodate them, but also so great at capturing them also! We stayed in Ko Olina and Mel knew exactly where to do the photo shoot and the best time of day for the beauty and lighting of the photos. The photographs she took were incredible! She was able to get us the gallery so quickly and they are awesome. If you are on Oahu and would like stunning photos from an awesome photographer, I highly recommend In The Light with Mel Photography!

She has taken all three of my babies' newborn photos (and countless other family photos that we treasure). I look at her work daily - it is all over my house! - and I smile every time. The photos she has taken for my family will always be on display - they are incredible! Elle is absolutely amazing with newborns - gentle and caring - a complete baby whisperer - and she also has the vision to create truly magical and one-of-a-kind photos that you will treasure for a lifetime. When we first met, she was helping welcome my twin girls home from the NICU by capturing their first at-home moments together. When we had a third baby girl, she handmade beautiful wreaths for my toddler twins to wear in their hair in photos with their new baby sister. It really comes through how much she loves her work and what a gift it is to her. I cannot say enough about Elle and Ella Bella Photography!

My family recently completed a mini session at the pumpkin patch with Brandi. We absolutely loved…read morehow the photos turned out as Brandi was able to capture beautiful moments of our 11 month old and family through out the session. She made all 3 of us feel at ease, and it shows in the pictures! Hours prior to the session she was available for communication in regards to last minute outfit concerns, and she was prompt in all communication through out the process. We will definitely be booking another session with Brandi in the future as the quality of photos were beyond expectations. I really appreciated her flexibility with booking and the turn around time for photos, she made a potentially stressful event seem effortless.

Be Warned!!! While the photos may turn out beautifully, The…read moreexperience was horrific!! We picked everything out over a month in advance. Sent our inspiration photos. We bought all the stuff to go with. Dresses, jewelry, props, smoke bombs, etc. Paid a nearly $800 total before the shoot. To have a terrible experience! So terrible, that I was hoping the pictures would come out nice, with the photographers editing skills, to make up for the terrible photoshoot experience itself. From the beginning of bad experiences (but not limited to) : 1) She arrived late. (Should have been there at 5 and didn't arrive until 530, left the house at 540, arrived at location at 6)Side note**We quickly lost daylight during the shoot because of this** 2) She was sent images of the props ahead of time, and did NOT plan accordingly 3) Arrived in a bad mood and that bad vibe permeated the entire photoshoot 4) She took a 2 week last minute vacation and flew back in on THE DAY OF the shoot... 5) She "vented"/complained about her life and problems the entire drive there n back, and also DURING the shoot. Very unprofessional! (I can literally tell you, down to the detail, of why she is on the verge of divorce) 6) She insulted my husband's "Mexican" culture. After pointing it out, she continued about WHY she doesn't like "Mexican Men". Then proceeds to insult my profession. 7) Gave direction ONE time!! The entire rest of the shoot we were looking in opposite directions or had different looks on our faces. She didn't tell us where to look... Smile or be serious. There was NOTHING!! This had us feeling awkward and the photos looking unbalanced. 9) She chose a place that required us to nearly HIKE down a hill with rocks! In heels! 10) She came with just the camera. No other equipment. 11) She helped carry 1 item down the hill. A pumpkin! While we went up and down to get our props, in heels!! 13) We asked for a specific type of editing, dark,gloomy, and witchy. She said she would do "her style" and then some of "ours". Then complained when we asked for 3 specific photos to have edits added. She could have just said that it was outside her capabilities and we would've understood. Instead she guilted us with the amount of photos taken and "excessive time given to take photos due to props" when a) she was made aware of props b) as the photographer she is in charge of managing time not us c) Didnt help with unloading/setting things up. In reality the amount of time we spent was roughly a little over an hour. Brandi apologized for the bad experience on Tues Oct 22 and decided to give a partial refund and let us have the edits that were already done. At 2am the next morning, she sent a text saying she gave the full refund and deleted all of our photos!!! That was so childish and petty! All FACTS!! She will hold your photos hostage! If you don't talk to her when "she wants" she will delete everything!! BE WARNED!!

So, when we needed civilian portraits after…read moremy husband's military retirement (2012), I searched for a certified professional photographer. I wanted someone who was trained and certified in photography and who could create a work of art with our memories. That's when we found, Linda Rukavina. Not only was she a Certified Photographer, but also an Internationally award winning photographer. Linda pours her heart into every photoshoot, values every client as if they are family, and knows how to create awe inspiring, confidence boosting photographs. Linda was personable, considerate of our insecurities, professional, valued our time, and made us feel so at ease. In all, we hired Linda for my husband's retirement portraits (2012), our son's high school graduation and family portraits (2016), family portraits (2019), our son's college graduation (2020), his wedding engagement (2020), and most recently, our son's wedding (2021). Following each photoshoot, we can hardly wait, to see the moments captured and how they were transformed into a work of art! If you want photos, of that "once in a lifetime event", that look like they belong in a famous art museum or winning international awards, you need Linda Rukavina!
