FAQs

What services do you offer?

I offer natural light photography sessions for families, couples, engagements, headshots, branding, and weddings across Oʻahu. Whether you’re visiting Hawaii on vacation or you’re a local looking to capture a milestone, I create relaxed, light-filled portraits that feel real and timeless.

How do I get started?

Simply reach out through my contact page to check availability. Once we lock in your date with a 20% deposit, we’ll create a shared inspiration board and plan your session together. I’ll guide you every step of the way—from location ideas to what to wear—so you feel completely confident on shoot day.

What makes you different?

I bring over 30 years of experience behind the camera—and as a professional makeup artist—to every session. I understand light, color, skin tones, and how to help you feel comfortable so your photos don’t look stiff or forced. My goal is simple: capture you in the most natural, beautiful way possible.

WHAT THEY’RE SAYING

  • Working with Laura was such an incredible experience! She did my makeup for a headshot shoot and made me feel so confident and comfortable from the start. The photos turned out amazing—both the clean, professional shots and the more creative ones we played around with.

    She has such a great eye and really knows how to bring out your best, both through makeup and behind the camera. Plus, she has a fun, vibrant energy that makes the whole shoot feel easy and enjoyable. It never felt stiff or overly posed, just really natural and fun. Sometimes, I’ll see a professional picture of myself and feel that it doesn’t really look like me, but Laura really captured the essence of who I am. 

    I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer and makeup artist who knows what they’re doing and makes the whole process a great time!

  • Since my sons 1st birthday, we have had Laura take our family photos. He is now 21! She’s done many Christmas photos and both our kids' graduation photos, and I’m pretty sure she will be there when they get married, capturing it all.

    Always working with me to ensure I was pleased with my final pictures. 

    Her use of lighting and exposure is excellent. I have seen other photographers’ work, but keep going back to Laura. Editing as needed and squeezing us in when we’re all available. She is a family friend now and has watched my kids grow up.

    Best of all, she has documented it beautifully. Her photos hang proudly inside my house and are sent out yearly during the holidays.

    I highly recommend her to capture your moments.
