Once your session is booked, we will send you our location guide so you can choose the best location based on your preferred backdrop and travel distance.

Each location requires a small travel fee ranging from $30–$100 depending on the location you select and its distance from our photographer’s home base. For custom locations more than 60 miles away, an additional travel fee may be added to your invoice to accommodate the extra distance and drive time.

• Sunrise (5:30am–6:45am) – Sunrise sessions begin about 15 minutes before sunrise, when the light is soft and beautiful. Beaches are typically quiet and peaceful, making this a wonderful option for couples looking for a romantic setting or families who want a more private experience.
• Morning (7am–10am) – Morning sessions offer beautiful lighting until around 9:00 am before the sun becomes a bit harsher. This timeframe is a great option for families who prefer a slightly later start while still enjoying bright, natural light.
• Afternoon (12pm–4pm) – Afternoon sessions take place during brighter midday light. While the lighting isn’t as soft as sunrise or sunset, it can still be a great option if you need flexibility in your schedule or are planning around naps or sleep schedules.
• Sunset (5pm–7pm) – For sunset sessions, we schedule the end time right at sunset so we have plenty of time to capture all of your photo combinations and finish with a beautiful sunset. This is one of the most popular times for photography in Hawaii thanks to the warm golden light and colorful skies.

Rescheduling Fees

If you wish to reschedule your session, you must notify us at least seventy-two (72) hours before your scheduled session date by email or phone and include a few alternative dates for us to compare with our availability. A $200 rescheduling fee will apply to compensate for the reserved session time and administrative scheduling. Your new session date will be confirmed once the rescheduling fee has been paid.

Your photos will be recolored and lightly retouched (including skin smoothing and teeth whitening) and delivered to you through our online gallery viewing software within 2 weeks of your session.

For beach sessions, shoes aren’t a concern. Sandals work great, and going barefoot is often best for photos. As we move around to different spots, you’ll want sandals that are easy to slip on and off.

We recommend bringing water, snacks (for kids), a towel, and a change of clothes for everyone, just in case we get a little wet and you’d like to freshen up afterward.

If you have dinner plans right after your session, don’t worry, we’ll keep things dry so you won’t need to change.
