Frequently Asked questions
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
Keep it simple, comfortable, and true to your style. Soft textures and solid tones work beautifully with Hawaii’s natural light. I provide guidance on outfits and props, so you’ll feel confident and look amazing in every shot. For the ladies, think flowy dresses or wide leg pants, flattering fitting dresses. For the men/boys think textured shirts or collared shirts/ matching two- piece sets. Avoid loud prints.
HOW MANY PHOTOS WILL I RECEIVE?
Each package includes a carefully curated set of professionally edited images. The exact number depends on your session length, but every photo is crafted to tell your story and capture authentic moments you’ll cherish forever.
WHERE WILL WE TAKE THE PHOTOS?
Hawaii is full of stunning locations! After booking, I’ll provide a selection of scenic spots to choose from, whether you want dreamy beaches, lush greenery, or urban backdrops, we’ll find the perfect setting for your session.
WHEN WILL I RECEIVE MY PHOTOS?
You’ll receive your gallery within 6 weeks. Every image is carefully edited to reflect your unique story, so please allow time for this process, quality takes a little love and patience.
WHAT IF THE WEATHER ISN’T IDEAL?
Hawaiian weather is unpredictable, but don’t worry we’ll make it work! Light rain can create magical, soft light, and for heavier storms, we’ll reschedule as needed. Refunds will not be provided due to inclement weather.
CAN I BOOK ON SHORT NOTICE?
Most sessions are scheduled at least 14 days in advance, but I do offer occasional “squeeze-in” appointments when my schedule allows. Reach out early to see if we can make it happen!
WHAT IF I NEED TO RESCHEDULE OR CANCEL?
A non-refundable retainer secures your session. Reschedules are possible within 6 months of your original date. Last-minute cancellations (within 2 weeks) are not eligible for a refund. Deposits are applied to future sessions but are non-refundable.
CAN I GET UNEDITED PHOTOS?
I deliver only edited images because my editing style is an essential part of the final product. This ensures you receive the highest-quality, fully polished photos that reflect your session’s beauty.
I LOST MY PHOTOS, CAN YOU RESEND THEM?
Galleries are available for download for 30 days after delivery. I recommend saving them during this time, as I don’t store images long-term.
CAN YOU ALTER MY APPEARANCE IN PHOTOS?
I enhance your natural beauty through professional editing, color, lighting, and overall polish.
WHAT IF I’M LATE OR GO TO THE WRONG LOCATION?
Natural light waits for no one! A 10-minute grace period is allowed. If you’re late beyond that, we’ll work with the remaining time, and a late fee may apply. Planning ahead ensures we capture the best light and moments.
