Common Questions
Our beach portrait sessions start at $749 and include professional editing, high-resolution digital downloads, and a digital gallery with 1-year access. No hidden fees. Your portraits are finished and ready to display, share, and keep forever.
We recommend reserving at least 2 to 4 weeks before your trip, and as early as possible if you're traveling during peak seasons like summer (June through August) and the holidays (Thanksgiving through New Year's). Sunrise and sunset time slots fill up quickly, especially on weekends. Last-minute reservations can sometimes be accommodated.
Absolutely! We photograph families with babies and newborns regularly and know how to pace a session around little ones. For very young infants, we typically recommend a private residence or a calm beach location like Old Kona Airport to keep things comfortable.
It's a balance of several things like where your accommodations are, ease of access, parking, how busy the beach is, and more. We have curated the best beaches on the Big Island for photography and will recommend the perfect spot for your family.
No, most of the beaches on the Kohala Coast are public beaches accessible to everyone regardless of where you're staying.
Yes, the beaches on the Big Island are stunning for maternity photography. We recommend reserving your maternity session between 28 to 34 weeks.

Our beach portrait sessions are offered in the early morning at 7 AM and 8 AM or at sunset.
In the rare case that the weather doesn't cooperate, we'll do our best to reschedule your session during your stay. We hold a backup date for every reservation, and overcast skies are actually beautiful, soft light for portraits. No need to reschedule at all for clouds.

We deliver proof images within 48 hours of your session and final images typically take another 48 to 72 hours.
Yes! We'll invite you back to select the images to include in your package.
Our photographers are skilled at handling any situation that comes up during your session. We keep things fun and low-pressure, and the candid moments between the posed ones are usually the best images.
You'll be able to view all of your digital proofs, but this doesn't include every single image taken. We curate the best moments for you to choose from.
Yes, you can change outfits, but it may slow down the session. Most beaches don't have changing facilities nearby, so we typically recommend choosing one great look.
We deliver your final digital images via a password-protected online gallery with 1-year access and watermark-free downloads.
The print credit included in some of our packages is a coupon to be used in our print store. It includes free shipping and is not redeemable at third-party labs.
Your downloaded images will print great up to about 8x12. For larger prints (11x14 and above), we recommend using our print store to ensure the best quality.
Yes, we have a self-design album tool in your gallery and also offer custom-designed handmade artisan albums.
We serve the entire west side of the Big Island, including popular areas like Waikoloa, Mauna Lani, and Kona.
We're a team of seven local photographers, not a one-person show. We focus on capturing genuine connection over posed perfection, deliver proofs within 48 hours so you can see your portraits before you fly home, and we're trusted by top resorts like Marriott, Hilton Grand Vacations, and Outrigger.
You'll meet your photographer at the beach, and sessions typically run 45 minutes to an hour. We handle all the logistics, location scouting, and timing so you can relax and enjoy being together. Just show up and let us take care of the rest.
