Just blown away by these photos and how effortlessly she captured the kids while making it FUN! Thank you!!!!!!!
"The absolute best!! We were taken care of so well, and the pictures came out better then I could have dreamed! I was nervous about the photography since I'm not the professional photo kind of person but all those worries melted away when our session started, she made us feel so comfortable, at ease and natural. If your unsure of who to choose, Karma Hill is exactly who you need, they are just beyond professionals at what they do!! The photos speak for themselves!"

The Hensleys’ Oahu family portrait session at Waialae Beach was anything but ordinary—and honestly, we’re still swooning. Visiting Hawaii for the first time, this sweet family of four was ready to explore, laugh, and make memories.

Okay, imagine this: You’re used to Montana mountains, the kind of landscape that makes you breathe deep and feel very Main Character Energy. But then—suddenly—it’s palm trees, sea breeze, and the kind of soft, golden ocean light that makes you say, “Okay, but this is going on the wall.” That’s exactly where the Ford family […]

There are family vacations, and then there are family vacations—the ones planned for over a year, with anticipation that builds like a slow burn rom-com until everyone finally arrives, sunscreen-slicked and beaming, at a gorgeous beach house on Oahu’s North Shore. For the Morton family, this was that vacation. The dream. The “we’ll talk about […]

the answers to your questions
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 blue ocean look and it’s usually less windy! Sunset sessions create a warmer light with a beautiful Oahu sunset in the background.
Both times are perfect for capturing beautiful moments you will absolutely love.
