"We had the best time with our photographer! The photos came out soooo incredible We couldn’t be happier. Best photo experience EVER"
I booked a ‘Couples Portrait’ session when we visited Kauai. Highly, highly recommend Karma Hill photography. They were very communicative leading up to our photo session and our sneak peaks arrived so quickly. Our couples photographer was wonderful to work with. She gave great direction and she even gave us lots of good restaurant and activity recommendations for the remainder of our trip. When I saw our photos, I was speechless. They turned out even more stunning than I could ever imagine. Check out Karma Hill photography. You will not be disappointed - definitely worth every penny!

Sometimes, the best love stories start in the most unexpected places, like a fitting room. Taylor and Dannielle first met through her job as a custom clothier, where she helped him choose his work clothes for about a year. What began as friendly small talk soon turned into something more, and eventually, Taylor found the […]

Some moments are so full of love and intention that they feel almost cinematic. And Javier and Martha’s Kauai proposal portrait was exactly that. Set against the serene beauty of Anini Beach, the day was calm, vibrant, and full of quiet anticipation. The sky was clear, the ocean shimmered like glass, and the world seemed […]

Proposals are already emotional roller coasters (the best kind), but when you add in a plan as thoughtful as Sean’s? It became a dream proposal plan! His Kauai proposal portrait to Abby at Shipwrecks Beach had everything: surprise, family, pastel skies, and a love story years in the making. Sean and Abby met as undergrads […]

What time of day is best for portraits? Morning or sunset?
Morning and sunset are both great times of day for portraits so it really depends on the look you want for your pictures. Morning sessions give a brighter more tropical look and it’s usually less windy! Sunset sessions create a warmer light with a beautiful Hawaii sunset in the background.
