Introduction

We’re professional photographers working together to make sure you’ll have a wonderful experience with us. You will be able to view the full online gallery from the set and you get to choose your favorite high quality photos. Our turn around time for proofs is usually within the week. Let’s not lose the momentum! ;) We genuinely love the energy connections between humans, our specialty is making our clients feel comfortable being in front of the camera. To sum it all up we enjoy being in nature, observing natural light and pairing these moments with our camera. That’s why we love photography - you are always able to achieve something new or special. NOTE: For your enhanced photos; you may request warm tones or cinematic edits instead of bright and airy. We look forward to chasing lights with you! With gratitude, Charina

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

My pricing is pretty fair. I’m here to serve not to rip you off! For locals and militaries will get 10% off. Mahalo!

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

Upon meeting I get to know them a little. I always ask their input, not to hesitate to let me know what they want and if they see a spot to take a picture at.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

In order for me to learn the in and out of photography is to watch someone do their work. A lot of practice and effort took me a long way. I had to keep reminding myself to be okay with my mistakes as long as I am learning and growing. And to find my own authentic creative style was a must!!

How did you get started doing this type of work?

I met a photographer who had 40 plus years of experience during Covid time and I’ve always wanted to learn professional photography so I tagged a long whenever he’s out shooting. I bought his used camera gears to practice. And fell in love with the art of photography!!

What types of customers have you worked with?

Overall friendly and fun so far!!

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

My recent project that I was a fond of was a secret proposal. The gentleman that was proposing planned it out very well as he wanted to make sure his girlfriend will have no clue. I helped him out with the process but the wait made it intense for both of us hahah. Anyway it went well and she said yes!! Just to witness and be a part of something very intimate gave me so much joy and excitement!! The whole shoot took about an hour but the preparation took 3 days!! hahah

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Please get to know a little bit about your photographer and if they resonate with his/her character and work..then it’s a go!!

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

Shoot locations and what’s the best time to shoot?!!
