Frequently Asked Questions:

Pros – Nostalgic, deliberate pace, imparts a unique aesthetic, and encourages a thoughtful and deliberate approach due to the limited number of exposures per roll.
Q: Where do you mostly shoot?
A: I shoot outdoors in Kona, Hawaii, and at my studio in Hilo. Some of our favorite locations include the breathtaking Kona beaches, Waikoloa Beach, Mauna Lani Beach, Hapuna Beach, and the picturesque Hilo beaches.
Q: What time do you mostly shoot?
A: If shooting outside, I prefer the golden hour / sunset.
Q: What’s the Best Attire for Our Family Session?
A: Plain Colors Shine Bright! Opting for plain colors ensures the focus stays on your loved ones, creating timeless images that highlight your family’s bond. Don’t worry about being boring—adding textures like linen, wool, and lace can add depth and interest to the pictures.
Q: What Happens After the Photo Session?
A: Within 10 days, you’ll receive a link to choose your favorite images from a proofing gallery. After your selection, we’ll professionally edit the chosen photos and send you high-resolution digital copies.
Q: Will I Have Rights to the Images?
A: Yes, you’ll have shared copyright, allowing you to use the images for personal purposes. We may also use the images for our promotional efforts.
Q:What is the Initial Payment?
A:This initial payment is half the total amount and serves to secure the photographer’s availability. It is not classified as a retainer or deposit. The photographer commits to refraining from advertising this reserved time slot to other prospective clients. In the event of a cancellation by the client, the initial payment is non-refundable. The remaining payment is due on the day of the shooting.
