 recommends  Sunny was fabulous to work with when we were visiting Oahu. She did a great job with our extended family pictures, even though the wind was really blowing that day!!! She made our large group feel very comfortable. She is very easy to work with, even being so accommodating by rescheduling our pictures last minute due when one of our party got injured. Thank you Sunny!

 recommends  We are so happy we chose Sunny as our photographer for family photos during our vacation to Oahu.  Sunny was so pleasant and easy to work with, both over email before / after the photoshoot and during the photoshoot.  She took all of the photos (various combinations of family members) we had requested and was very patient with our two young kids (who were very active and not great at posing for the camera).  She managed to get some great family photos and photos of the kids.  She also suggested a pose for me and my husband that turned out to be our favorite photo of the two of us.  We are very happy with the photos we received from Sunny - thanks to her, we now have photos from our trip that we will treasure for a lifetime!  We had a great experience having Sunny as our family photographer and would definitely recommend her!

 recommends  Since the moment I saw Sunny's photos come across my local Hawaiʻi photographer searches I fell in love! I ranted and raved about her work with my fiancé for several weeks until he gave into a engagement session! I knew we had to act fast because she books up so quickly! Sunny was very professional, easy going, always knew the right shot, timing, and position to capture the best version of you. When we arrived at Lanikai, I gave her a fair warning that 1. we are awkward and do not know how to pose and 2. we have a very energetic puppy that we want a photo with. Those are two very tall orders that did not even phase her! She was so patient with us! She gave us tips and positioned us to help with our awkwardness! She made small adjustments for us that made a huge difference. The best part of all - she taught us how to twirl and dip! Can you believe it? An amazing photographer and choreographer! She was so relaxed and confidence during our session - it was infectious and for that short hour with her we felt like models! My only regret is that I did not find her sooner!

 recommends  We just took a peak at our family photos and are in love. Sunny did such an amazing job at capturing our little family perfectly. She was so patient with our toddler and turned what I felt like a whirlwind toddler chase on the beach into beautiful pictures we will cherish forever. Mahalo!!!!

 recommends  Sunny was amazing and professional! She captured everything I was looking for in a candid couples shoot. Quick turn around time for our photos and she made us feel relaxed during the shoot. The photos came out incredible! Would recommend to anyone looking to have professional photos done on Oahu!

 recommends  We recently had Sunny take our family photos and have been so happy with the process and results! I had a very specific vision for how I wanted our family photos for our Christmas card and she nailed it. Setting up a time to shoot was super easy despite both our busy schedules. Not only did she make the photo session fun she was so easy going and patient with our three very active little ones! I am definitely going to book her again next year and recommend her to anyone who wants high quality photos and a pleasant experience! Thank you so much, Sunny!
