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. He gave great direction during the shoot to make sure the photos turned out amazing while still feeling natural and comfortable. 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. You truly cannot go wrong with them. Highly recommend!

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.

She's fine for an Instagram photo and candids but not for a framed family photo Long review: Natalie was very nice in person and promised us many photos of what we wanted with edits to make sure no one was blinking. We anticipated the photos for weeks and the contract said she would get the photos to us NO LATER than 12/24/24 Christmas Eve. I waited all day and she sent them the very last second of that day (11:58pm Hawaii time on Christmas Eve). I saw them only a short while later and there was no password sent. They said it was their system I should have gotten a password but despite that I was not able to access the photos until 12/26/24 at the end of the day (it was almost 8pm my time). So finally I'm able to open the photos and my whole family was disappointed. To give background, the people in my family photos were me (28F) with my husband and kids, my 3 younger brothers (one with a wife and baby), my parents, and my grandparents. I have done all the communication for my parents who paid for this. $2000 worth of bad photos. My mom's ONE and ONLY request was to have a family photo of her family without my grandparents on the beach. We got only ONE photo back meeting those requirements and the kids aren't looking and two of us aren't even smiling, it's an awful photo. I feel absolutely horrible for my mom who spend a ton of money on these photos with her one hope to get a photo back she could print up on her wall and now she can't do that. Natalie is nice in person, but she has not responded to my two emails asking about this and the only reason I was able to get a response on the password issue was because I put up a bad review. Well I'm doing it again, and not to get something but to truly warn people that she is not a photographer of her word. The editing was horrible, it seems like just a filter placed on the raw images with no touch up or editing like normal professional photographers do. Another thing was she did not tell us how to pose/ place hands, fix hair, nothing like that which I am used to in professional experienced photographers. She is way too expensive for what she produces and I would suggest looking elsewhere. **Attached is the one photo we received back of our family without our grandparents**

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! We're beyond grateful to have these memories captured and for her! Thank you Krystal Highly recommend!

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.

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.

Photography is about capturing souls, not smiles. If you can make even the darkest photo into…read morelight, you have a gift. I cannot begin to tell you how amazing Phoenix is, but I'll try! I can only put so much into words, her photographs speak for themselves. So much anxiety comes into planning for a senior and graduation. I'm about details and take pride in having an wanting the very best for my Ohana. A big detail in being a senior is the portraits. Photography keeps a moment from running away. Phoenix captured a mile stone for my "baby." Although she may change, the picture won't. Phoenix captured more than I can even have asked for. Sooooo many photographers to choose from. I had been eye balling them for over a year. KM Ivelisse stuck out to me. A particular photo session that I would even share with others, because it touched my heart so much. A wife, mother, and beautiful woman that lost her active duty husband while pregnant. It wasn't by combat but rather a motorcycle accident. Being a military spouse and mother myself, my heart really aches for this woman. The photos that Phoenix did for her, still brings me to tears when I look at them. These portraits even went viral on social media. There is none out there like this. This session showed passion and heart and those are the people I support. When making the selection, Phoenix just reiterates her passion for her clients. She sends the forms/contracts as any photographer would do, but more. She sent an "about me questionnaire." The cutest details from favorite music, weird things someone might not know about you, and MUCH MUCH more. Why? Because she genuinely wants to know you and cares. We weren't sure on where to pick for a location. We knew our vision and explained it to her. She did her own hunting and sent us pics of locations and ideas too. I seriously and literally mean THE EXTRA MILE. The day of the shoot. She arrives ready, fun, energetic, and with that heart and passion that I knew was the right pick for us. It was like having fun with a family member and creating memories with her. Start to finish her emails and correspondence aren't generic. They are SO DETAILED with next steps, how long, extra you can get...I'm talking second to NONE on her detailing everything out. New Year's morning we get to wake up to the finished project. Tears of joy and love for this amazing work of art from an amazing woman. She captured all we were looking for, and were not even done. *more tears* I can't thank you enough for EVERYTHING! I recommend you to all and will be using you for much MUCH more in the future. God's blessed you with a gift, but he also blessed us with the gift of you!

I am the type of person wanting & needing to reach out to 3 - 4 companies for information/inquires for services. Same as anyone wanting services for roofing, painting, solar and AC for their home.

First photographer didn't even respond to my online, email requests. I even called the phone number listed, left a message, no call back. Second photographer confirmed will not be a good fit for my request due to only does nature photography, so only beaches, hmmm, last I checked parks with trees is nature! Final photographer, Sky & Reef Photography -Tara Morenfeld with all the information I requested for. Reserved a Sunday morning date, Tara was on time and ready to go. Worked with the 1year old first, while baby is in a good mood! Worked with each individual ohana then entire ohana.

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!
