James was amazing to work with. We absolutely love the photos that he took of us for our couple’s shoot. James is incredibly laid-back and will work with you to ensure that you love everything about the photoshoot with him. James focuses more on candid style photos which were exactly what we were looking for. He directed us well, enabling us to relax. He is perfect for those who think that they might feel awkward being photographed.
James has excellent photography skills refined through years of experience. He understands lighting, exposure, and has a thorough understanding of composition. He is very knowledgeable of the area and will be able to recommend the perfect area for your photography needs.
We highly recommend James if you are looking for a photographer in Kauai

I am thrilled with the photos taken by James of Hanalei Family Photo! The best part was- my family actually had fun taking them! I researched several photographers prior to finding James and I was very impressed with the quality of the photos on his website but also really liked his laid back personality when I first spoke with him on the phone. His goal was to photograph exactly what we wanted (location, time of day/lighting, groups, individual shots) and he succeeded. Our photos are amazing! James captured the magical light of Hanalei Bay at golden hour/sunset and I loved the great suggestions for more fun/candid poses mixed in with traditional ones. Highly recommend!!!

James took our family photos during our recent trip to Kauai. He was so patient with my 3 young kiddos who were kind of going crazy because of adjusting to the time change 🫠 and the photos he got are better than I could have hoped for. He is very talented and lovely to work with. Our pictures are absolutely incredible and we will cherish them forever!
