Amanda did such an amazing job at my wedding (solo by the way!) that I had to have her capture my family’s portraits to celebrate the beginning of our first holiday season all together in person. She was flexible with timing and location and somehow managed to shoot us as a large family then in our four subfamilies within one golden hour. She captured not only this wonderful memory but also the beauty of the beach we grew up on. She leans into our ideas but also gently makes suggestions so we can meet our vision together. She definitely knows how to work with small kids so this helps a lot. Amanda is so kind and patient; she encourages you to be yourself and makes you comfortable. By doing so, she has the best candid shots! She will even adjust your hair to look your best. She’s an excellent communicator. Her pictures come in a timely manner and when they do, it brings so much joy to see her artistic eye come to life. I highly recommend her for your portraits and events!

" Amanda did such a beautiful job capturing our engagement. She went above and beyond than what we could have asked for. During the photo shoot she made my fiancé and I feel comfortable and created a welcoming environment. She is definitely a team player and went along with the surprise engagement. Our photos are breath taking and we appreciate her being able to create these memories we made. We hope to travel back to Hawaii and get the chance to book with her again! "

"Amanda definitely has THE eye for lighting, poses, angles etc. Seriously, she is a true artist! She delivered our photos on time as promised and they came out soooooo good, we love them! Seriously, I can't recommend Amanda enough! "

- Jaimie

"We were so elated that Amanda was able to shoot our special day! We had decided to move up our wedding last minute and she went above and beyond to help us. On the day of our wedding Amanda was super helpful in coordinating pictures for all of our groups of family and friends. When it was time for our couple pictures we felt so comfortable shooting with her that our photos truly captured how we were feeling that day. I can't recommend her enough for her services, we will cherish our wedding photos forever!"

"Amanda made us feel so comfortable and everything felt so natural and not forced. We absolutely loved how our photos turned out and had so much fun in the process. We also really enjoyed talking with her and learning more about Hawaii"

- Stephanie

"Working with Amanda was such a wonderful experience! She truly made myself and my family comfortable and she was really understanding when it came to my 2 year old trying to take a picture. She was also really patient with us. The photos came out better than I ever expected! I was shocked how many good ones she was able to get of my 2 year old actually smiling. I also love her editing, it truly makes the photos breathtaking!"

- Ashley

" Our photo shoot with Amanda was truly an amazing experience. We were finally able to celebrate our honeymoon after many postponements and wanted to remember this trip for a lifetime. Not only is her work phenomenal, she also made us feel so comfortable and relaxed."

- Courtney

"Great experience from beginning to end! From when I first inquired, Amanda replied in a timely manner & answered all my questions. Our session was a combination of an engagement/family portrait session. We were going to start with our session off with our toddler but he was not having it. Amanda was really patient and didn’t wanna force him, so instead she suggested my fiancé and I start. Amanda made us feel so comfortable being in front of the camera. She had poses for us and she also let us do our own thing while capturing some very candid moments I also loved that she gassed us up with every shot, to make us really feel ourselves! Although our son decided to go in the water and not really participate in taking family pictures she got a few shots of him that turned out just as good! Now that we got photos back & seeing the love she put in them, we cannot wait to book with her again! "

- Sage

"Our session with Amanda was amazing! Our photos from that session came out to be EVEN MORE AMAZING. My boyfriend doesn’t really like taking photos but Amanda has made him feel more comfortable and he even felt that she made it more personal than other photographers. It’s definitely a plus if you can get him to be comfortable taking pictures. Thank you Amanda for making our experience with you an amazing one! Can’t wait to shoot with you again!"

- Katiana

"Amanda was amazing from start to finish! I was initially a bit worried on how our surprise session was gonna go, but she gave me all of the helpful advice/ideas and answered all of my questions. On the actual day, she was well-organized and professional, made sure everything went smoothly and captured the special moment. The finished photos came out beautifully and just perfect. Definitely recommend Amanda to anyone!!! "

- Yuki

"I am so in love with my family photos, I can’t stop looking at them! Amanda is so incredibly talented both with shooting and editing. She brings such a wonderful positive energy to her sessions, always making my family feel completely at ease. As a result she is able to capture such genuine moments. I am so happy I booked a session with Amanda."

- Erin

" Amanda’s photos were everything we could have asked for and more! She was so great to work with and her photos perfectly captured the beauty of the island and the joy we were feeling being in paradise. Thank you for capturing such great memories, Amanda! "

- Fallon

"It was an absolute joy working with Amanda. Thank you for being so patient with us as we got used to the camera. Amanda was incredibly good at putting us at ease and getting us to smile genuinely as she captured our candid moments. Her friendly demeanor during our shoot helped us to relax and be ourselves. Her photography skills and editing skills are outstanding and I love the color scheme she uses for her pictures. Amanda was extremely professional from the time we booked our appointment to the time we received our photos. I just want to say that Amanda goes above and beyond for her clients and I really appreciate everything she did for us! "

- Chathu

" Amanda made us feel comfortable during our session and took the time to get the best shots of our family. We are so appreciative of her work and will cherish these pictures forever! We look forward to booking again when in Hawaii. "

- Melissa

"Amanda was AMAZING. She was so warm and sweet and got us laughing right away. I loved her style from the photos I saw on Instagram and she did not disappoint. Our pictures are fantastic!"

- Stefanie

"Amanda was able to effortlessly coordinate and plan a surprise proposal photoshoot for my fiancé and I! She took the most beautiful photos and made us feel so comfortable. She was able to capture our emotions and the beautiful scene of our proposal perfectly and we couldn’t be happier with the photos! "

- Rob

"Amanda was so fun to shoot with! It was our first time but she made us feel super comfortable. We can’t wait to shoot with her again when our baby girl comes!"

- Claudine

"Amanda was incredible to work with for our family photo session. I have so many good things to say. First, and most importantly, she delivered my favorite family pictures we’ve ever had done. We’ve been doing family photos for eight years now and these are hands down my favorite. And then everything from the booking process to the communication was so professional and helpful. We even had to reschedule because of a last minute work trip for my husband but Amanda worked with us which meant the world to me. She also was helpful in getting our photos to us quickly so I could use them for Christmas cards this year. Overall, such a helpful and genuine person to work with. We will definitely be using her again "

- Heather

"We loved our maternity session with Amanda! She made us feel very comfortable while keeping it fun, which I think it showed through our photos. Her attention to detail is uncanny too. She would make sure that our body position was just right making us look the best that we could and she even would take note of how the landscape interacted with us in terms of how it framed us. Her editing skills are also the best. Our photo shoot was a bit darker then expected being in Halona Cove surrounded by the mountain side and she worked wonders to brighten our photos so they were just right. I highly recommend Amanda on a professional level but also because she’s just straight up cool! "

- Breanna

"Amanda made us feel at ease in taking our family photos, especially our toddler! She was able to capture the sweetest smiles. I am so grateful that I have found her on Instagram and will continue to use her services when visiting Oahu! Not only is she an amazing photographer but she is also very kind and patient. She is the sweetest. Thank you Amanda for capturing our family pictures, you are truly one of a kind! "

- Roean

"So where do I even begin with working with Amanda? She’s the best! We found her thru social media and fell in love with her work. The fact that she keeps it so simple but brings so much life into a photo is what simply makes her the best. From our initial contact, booking, till after we got our photos, Amanda and her team are on top of it. We loved how simple it was to book and how organized everything was when booking. We loved how Amanda checked in on us a couple of days before and the morning of the shoot. During the shoot she was so helpful especially with having a newborn it was rough. She didn’t rush us or do anything we weren’t comfortable with and she brought our vision to life in her photos. We loved every minute of working with you and your team Amanda! We can’t wait to see you and work with you again."

- Gina

"I cannot say enough amazing things about Amanda and her photography. We've used her twice for family photos, and I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again for any occasion. From booking, photo shoot and follow up, she was wonderful to work with. Amanda is so authentic, kind and professional! I found her through Instagram, and I love the way she comes across to her audience and genuinely cares about the families/couples that she shoots for. She really just wants her clients to fall in love with their photos and help to create beautiful memories for them. I think taking photos can be an awkward experience, and she made us feel at ease and gave great suggestions!! Plus add kids into the mix, and that can create more stress but she is so patient! I couldn't ask for more in a photographer. We absolutely love both sets of our photos, and I'm having a hard time choosing which ones to get printed. Amanda is so talented! If you need an Oahu photographer, Amanda is your girl!"

- Lisa

"We had an amazing family photo session with Amanda. Booking with her and determining a photo shoot location was flexible and easy. She got so many incredible shots with truly incredible lighting and style. Amanda is professional, efficient and kind. I will cherish the memories that she captured for me on my 45th birthday!"

- Stefanie

"Amanda did such a beautiful job capturing our engagement. She went above and beyond than what we could have asked for.

- Izabel

"Absolutely beautiful photos! About a year ago, I imagined doing a Christmas photo shoot to purchase holiday cards and send these to our friends and family, and Amanda’s phenomenal photography turned this into reality. She has exceptional photography skills and is so fun to work with. This is our second time working with Amanda, the photos were so stellar the first time around, we had to return for another set of photos! Amanda is super accommodating for scheduling and continuously goes above and beyond to get the best quality photos. We are so grateful to have these moments in Hawaii captured and last a lifetime."

- Rachel

"Our experience from start to finish with Amanda was nothing short of amazing. She was responsive when I initially reached out and immediately made sure we had the same vision. From the location to the time to the style of the photos we worked together to have my vision match Amanda’s creativity (it also helped all my reference photos were her’s ;) ). She was incredibly flexible in making our session a family/couple/glam session, 100% understanding what we wanted from the pictures. Her kind guidance for poses was on point for all ages. We now have beautiful coordinated photos we will treasure forever. Of all the photographers on Oahu, I cannot recommend Amanda highly enough. While she is professional and passionate about her craft, she is also cheerful, friendly, and between us and her, I couldn’t tell you who was smiling more that day. The photos on our walls are all of genuine happiness, in great part to the ease in which we took them with Amanda. The photos are gorgeous, and just as importantly, the memory behind the photos is just as light and happy. "

- Meredith

" This was my second time booking Amanda! We absolutely loved working with her the first time so when I wanted a trustworthy, caring and experienced photographer to take photos of our family reunion, I knew exactly who to contact. She made our family feel so comfortable around the camera, including my two little ones. The photos came out so natural and bright (even on a cloudy day!) Amanda has become my go-to photographer any time we’re in Oahu! "

- Valerie

"We absolutely loved working with Amanda! She caught great moments with our family. We're definitely not into taking pictures often and only have wedding photos so this was a great session to include our son. She took some amazing pictures of him and I absolutely love them. The team's communication skills were great and responded so quickly. We will definitely reach out to her again when we're back in the area. I am so grateful for the team and Amanda especially. "

- Mary

"Having our family pictures taken on our anniversary was the best part of our trip to Hawaii. I scoured social media for a long time, looking for a local photographer and entrepreneur to support. I found Amanda and immediately knew that her style mirrored what I envisioned for pictures I hoped to have as keepsakes for years to come for my family. My hopes were high and Amanda knocked it out of the park. She is kind, professional, and down to earth. She saw my family for who we are: a shy, more reserved group with a busy little one with a short attention span… but oh, so in love with each other. She worked quickly and made us feel so comfortable that she was able get a ton of incredible shots in less time than we scheduled for. When I got my gallery today, my eyes filled with tears and jaw hit the floor. What beautiful treasures we ended up with. Thank you, Amanda, I will cherish them always. "

- Natasha

"Amanda was amazing from the moment I contacted her all the way through the shoot and even afterwards. Truly an awesome experience and worth every penny. She was very prompt at getting back to me and gave lots of amazing options for locations. During the shoot, she was energetic and thoughtful. She is a very kind and complimentary person, which made everyone feel great and comfortable. The pictures came out stunning and we couldn't be more happy. One thing that was awesome that she did during our shoot, was show us little previews on the back of the camera. A wonderful experience through and through. 10/10 would highly recommend.

- Chanel

"Amanda is worth every penny and truly made our family photos, our photos. She took all the funny moments in between the nice, posed photos. Which turns out to be our favorites because it shows our true personalities. We felt so relaxed and loved that she showed us the photos along the way. We can’t wait for another session with her! "

- Ashley

"Amanda is just amazing! She made us feel so comfortable during the session and the whole experience was unforgettable. All the pictures turned out amazing"

- Fiona

"Everything from our email correspondence, to our initial meeting, the photo session itself and even our little messages on instagram have all been such a delight. We can already see how much the kids have grown and look so different. I'm so glad you were able to capture them and reflect their personalities in each picture. "

- Eunice

"Amanda is amazing! She is so fun and bubbly and made the experience so comfortable. This was out first real photoshoot so we were a bit nervous but Amanda was super reassuring and helpful! We had so much fun we didn't even realize how fast time moved. She truly cares about her clients and her art. The photos were returned very timely and the results were immaculate. They're so beautiful I still look at them everyday! LOL Now we have such great memories of our first big trip together! We highly recommend Amanda if you're ever visiting Oahu! "

- Britney

"Amanda’s photos blew us away! We loved every single picture. Communication was excellent and we enjoyed our session with her. She is very personable, pleasant, and made us feel very comfortable. Hope to have more pictures taken again in the future! "

- Tammy

"I initially contacted Amanda because I wanted a local photographer (and because we attended the same school). But most of all, I really liked her point of view when she took pictures! She has an amazing eye for photography. Shooting with her is also fun, easy and effortless. Every time I come back home to Hawaii and need to book a photoshoot, I always books with Amanda. (If she's available) ;) "

- Jas

"I’ve always wanted to take family photos while on vacation. I wanted to find someone who could capture that perfect moment. Amanda did just that! Actually she captured several moments that me and family look back on and cherish. She is accommodating especially with young children. She is professional, laid back, nothing is ever forced. She is so friendly and offered up suggestions on places to visit. She makes you feel like Ohana. I look forward to booking future family sessions the future. Mahalo Amanda for our beautiful family photos."

- Marisol

"I am so glad I was able to have Amanda take our maternity pictures during our stay in Hawaï. She is an amazing photographer and her pictures highlights Hawaï’s beauty. She did such a beautiful job and I get to cherish those pictures for a lifetime! Thank you Amanda! "

- Stephanie

"Amanda is amazing!! She is kind, she is patient, she truly cares about all of her clients and wants them to be comfortable during the photo shoot. As someone who struggles with anxiety, particularly photo anxiety, Amanda made me feel totally comfortable and made the session fun! She has a true talent for photography and I wish I lived in Hawaii to hire her. Please book Amanda as she does wonderful work! "

- Quinn

"We had our family session with Amanda during our first ever trip to Hawaii and we have thoroughly enjoyed working with her. Amanda was so patient with our son and made sure our experience was pleasant. Final pictures came out so beautiful and I can’t stop looking at our pictures. I’m so glad I chose Amanda for our session. "

- Sidhu

" We did a late April maternity shoot with Amanda in a lovely regional park on the east side of Oahu. Amanda was excellent throughout the session, proving to be extremely easy to work with. She provided very clear directions and helped us ensure each pose would create the best possible photo. My husband and I would highly recommend Amanda for future sessions, and we are already planning an upcoming session with our newborn this coming spring. "

- Taryn

"Amanda is my go-to photographer. Having someone so kind & personable really makes everyone feel at ease and have a good time. I always recommend her to everyone I know. Her work behind the scenes also shows just how good she is. I’m never disappointed. "

- Amber

"When we got to our location, I remembered how welcoming Amanda was and my daughter warmed up to her so quickly. It wasn’t just a maternity shoot but also family photos. Shooting photos with a toddler isn’t easy and my daughter emotions was like a roller coaster - Amanda sure knew how to calm a child and is extremely patient. She captured the most unforgettable images during our babymoon. "

- Lina

" Amanda has captured so many of my family’s life events (engagement, wedding, and newborn shoot). We’ve grown a special bond since she’s captured all of these unforgettable moments for us. Not only is her work amazing, but she’s an amazing individual. Amanda makes these special moments so comfortable and we look forward to her capturing more milestones for us in the future. "

- Malu

" Amanda did an amazing job capturing our wedding day! I could not be happier with the final product and will cherish the (TONS!!) of photos and moments she sent, forever! I felt very aloof and scatter brained the day of the wedding and leading up/planning but Amanda was so professional and easy going and easy to work with it made everything such a breeze! She also came out the night before the wedding to take photos of our rehearsal dinner and that was the second best (best decision was booking her for the wedding!) decision I made for the wedding. The whole experience goes so quickly so I literally cannot thank Amanda enough for getting such good photos of both days for my husband and I to reminisce over."

- Kelly

" Amanda is truly amazing to work with. She went above and beyond for our wedding day from the engagement shoot to our actual wedding day. She makes the experience so comfortable when we're usually the most awkward picture taking couple. "

- Noreen

" How can I start this? I bumped into Amanda's page one day when she was having around 300+ followers. Looking at her picture and the lighting and her edits makes me think I have to book her. Our first couple of sessions were so easy because Amanda made it easy, and we had so much fun together. After we got our photos back, I knew she would be my wedding photographer. And I booked her before I even booked my venue. I'm still in awe of our wedding photos and I swear having Amanda by your side on your big day will be the best decision. Thank you Amanda for everything :) can't wait to fast forward to you taking pic of my baby bump hehe, not yet but soon. "

- Jamie

"Amanda made sure that we were happy with the right location and accommodated all our requests. Even during our shoot, she made me and my husband feel so comfortable. She captured our personality PERFECTLY through her photos. We had so much fun."

- Emy

"Amanda was such a caring, loving, considerate photographer - I could not have thought of a better person to have done our photos on our special day. As we all know, wedding days can be stressful! But she not only took the most beautiful photos (I’m so serious!), she also was there to make sure things were going per schedule, got us drinks to help us unwind, and really helped in whatever way she could because that is just the sweet person that she is. She has a calming presence about her that helped the day go even more smoothly. She also took so many photos of the night that in going through the gallery, it really did feel like we were re-living every moment of the night. She listened to all of our requests and made it happen, with a smile! If you’re looking for someone to capture your special night, look no further!!! "

- Jamaica

"Amanda is beautifully talented! We have worked with her on numerous occasions, including our wedding, and she has delivered stunning galleries over and over again. Amanda has an eye for perfection! She has this warm, down to earth personality that makes your shoot so comfortable and seamless. We love Amanda and look forward to booking with her in the future! "

- Bri

"Working with Amanda for our wedding was spectacular! We went in already loving her aesthetic and skills, but we were so blown away with the final product - we asked for some specific shots and did she deliver!! She really captured the essence of what we were going for and wow, do I feel like we are in a magazine shoot! We are so happy with the photos and I make a point to look at them once a day because I love them so much! Aside from her obvious photography skills, Amanda was both professional and so easy to work with! We immediately felt at ease with her, and she wonderfully transitioned us between events (ceremony, group photos, couple shots, reception and party.) We are thrilled that we had the privilege to work with her as she really did make our wedding day dreams come true in capturing all the perfect shots! Thank you for an AMAZING job, Amanda! "

- Nina

" Can’t thank Amanda enough for taking our wedding photos! From our first phone consultation all the way through sending our gallery. Amanda provided professional and excellent service, with a personal and down to earth approach. All the times we’ve communicated I felt like I was speaking with a friend. She kept an open line of communication and was quick to respond - all key things when planning a wedding! Our wedding was small and simple due to Covid and we had to keep our masks on, but Amanda was still able to deliver beautiful photos. Getting married in my church was important to me, and Amanda was able to capture the love and reverence felt that day. I love everything about how our photos turned out. If you’re looking for a photographer, what are you waiting for - book with Amanda now before her 2022 schedule fills up. Thank you so much Amanda! You are so talented and definitely meant for this. Can’t wait to work with you again! "

She captured all the moments I asked her to catch. She was so easy to work with and great at communicating promptly. She also worked great with our videographer. I love her editing style. It really made my wedding photos look like a fairytale and so dreamy."
