From the moment we met her, she was so…read moreeasy to work with - calm, kind, and just someone who instantly makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera (which is not always easy). The photos turned out even better than I imagined. She didn't just capture how everything looked - she captured how it felt. The love, the little in-between moments, the natural joy of the day... it's all there. And somehow, she made the already stunning Oahu backdrop look even more beautiful. Also, shoutout to her patience because the wind was aggressively fighting my bangs the entire time, and she handled it so seamlessly without ever making it feel stressful or rushed. Genuinely couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. If you're even considering booking her - do it. The quality of her work and the experience she creates are both so, so worth it!

If you're in Oahu and looking for a photographer, I highly recommend Michelle!

We never felt rushed during the session--she allowed plenty of time for diaper changes and feeding. In fact, we even went overtime because she genuinely wanted to ensure we got all the poses we wanted. I especially appreciated how she included all members of our family and was incredibly accommodating and patient with our dog. Lucie offers a wide variety of beautiful props in her studio and was also more than willing to incorporate special items we brought from home. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and are so grateful for the memories she captured. We look forward to working with her again for future milestones and life events.

They were also unbelievably prompt with editing and releasing our photos -- we could not believe how quickly everything was completed! Radek was wonderful throughout the entire process.

His knowledge of the area was also so helpful, and he helped us choose the perfect location for our ceremony. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful. They captured not only us, but also our family, the emotions of the ceremony, and all of the little moments that made the day unforgetable. We are forever grateful for the memories they captured and the effort and care they put into everything for us. Great communication, beautiful work, and an all-around wonderful experience.

From the first quick inital response to my inquiry and the detailed instructions was so helpful. Radek allowed me to personalize our experience with a specific location and time of day since I wanted to have photo session during sunset. I appreciate his attention to detail to make sure every picture was perfect. He was so quick and efficient so we were able to shoot so many photos during our session. His rates are very affordable and worth it, I would recommend him to all my family and friends. Lastly I'm so appreciative of his quick turn around time, I was so impressed that our photos were available after 1week. Thank you Radek, we will definitely be requesting more photo shoots in the future.

Not only is she incredibly talented, but she also made us feel comfortable and captured genuine, beautiful moments with the most amazing scenery! We loved our maternity photos so much that we knew we had to come back and recreate them--this time with our toddler. Last month we booked her again and it truly felt like a full-circle moment for our family. She captured it perfectly all over again and she was so sweet with my toddler too - he loved her! The entire experience from first communication to photoshoot day was seamless, fun, and easy going. She also has such a great eye for detail!

Our interactions never felt merely transitional, you could feel her love and passion for creating these magical memories on (digital) "film". Our session was everything you could ever ask for. Not once did it feel forced or awkward and that is evident in our photos. Loved this experience so much and we are so thankful we found Krystal.

As a parent with a feisty strong willed emotional 5 year old it was such a relief. My daughter had a long day (it was her bday) filled with maybe too many activities, no nap and a 1.5 hr car drive. She was at her limit or more. Marissa saw that she was not in mood for certain pose like photos after the initial set and she worked with her true goofy wild personality. But that is so her and we are so happy she captured that. It could have been a disaster with a less understanding photographer who expected a rigid plan but she went with the flow and was amazing. It took a lot of stress off my shoulders. Thank you marissa for the wonderful photos and great experience!

"Shut up and take my money!", is what I said out loud when I saw the proofs of the family…read morephotography session that we did with Ms. Keao. Both sides of the family met in Oahu for vacation, and months prior I suggested that we should hire a professional photographer so we could 1) remember the occasion, and 2) have some updated photos of the family as we have our newest addition: our son Xavier. After doing my required Yelp searching, I narrowed it down to 4 photographers who specialize in children's photography. Though Keao was the priciest of the 4, I chose her because she didn't put a time limit on her session. I thought this was key because my son was only 7 months and not only was I unsure how he would handle the time difference, but he's just fidgety and unpredictable at this age! Communication was really easy via email and all my questions were answered. She also provided good tips on styling, which was useful as there would be 8 of us and we wanted to have some sort of cohesiveness. The session itself went smoothly, even though Xavier fell asleep about 20 minutes in! We still took advantage and had her photograph all the possible family combinations while he took a nap. Looking at the photos, you can't even tell that Xavier was cranky, haha. Also, I felt as if she captured us how we really are... it's hard to explain. Looking at a photo of me and my sister-in-law being silly, it just made me think, "OMG this is us!!" I'm extremely happy with the work Keao's done, and can't wait to show the photos off on my social media accounts, Christmas 2017 cards, and any other occasion in the future. Kardashians, eat your heart out!

Keao has a very laid-back, sweet and easy going personality she never makes you feel rushed or uneasy and has a excellent eye for capturing gorgeous and timeless shots in a simple and efficient manner. My children (all THREE of them) responded so well to her and liked her and one even had a high fever and she was able to get her to smile and laugh!

When it came time to work with JP, he was the perfect balance of professional and personable. He created such a comfortable, safe space and knew exactly how to guide me in a way that made me feel 100% confident in my body. What started as a simple clothed shoot naturally evolved into an implied nude session and I never once felt anything but empowered and supported. If you've ever thought about doing something like this, don't hesitate! This is an experience you won't regret. I can honestly say it's more than just a photo shoot; it's a confidence boost, a moment of self-love and a chance to see yourself in a whole new light. Fair warning... you'll probably want to book another session just to feel that magic all over again and capture even more stunning photos!

He completely transformed the experience for me--making me feel comfortable, safe, and genuinely confident throughout the entire session. The experience went way beyond my expectations, and the results speak for themselves. They give you the option to have a certain amount edited or keep all the photos, and we decided to keep them all. My husband LOVED every single unedited photo! If you are on the fence or nervous about booking a shoot, trust this amazing team. They are professional, talented, and pure magic!
