The Photoshoot - My talent and skill for composing, framing and making beautifully exposed natural light photographs during golden hours.* (Please be mindful that I don’t bring with me a makeup or wardrobe person. You are responsible for your makeup, hair, and wardrobe.
High resolution digital photography
Curating & photofinishing (editing).
A private photo gallery - From your gallery you can view, share and download.
* Kauai is the perfect place for outdoor, natural light photography. During sunset sessions I will, however, sometimes use photoflash, usually off camera to ensure proper illumination on faces when shooting into a sunset.
The photofinishing for your photos includes many enhancements over images straight from the camera; it does not include retouching. If you want retouching let me know before your session for an add-on of $150. This will include 5 retouched photos. Common changes are thinner arms or legs, removing sunburn or tan lines, fixing pimples or acne; then if there’s a wardrobe malfunction that might be ruining your favorite photo, I will attempt to fix. Please note: some changes might not be feasible. If you don't select "Retouching" and you want changes, I will fix 1-3 photos at no charge. Then the fee is $35 per photo.
HOW I DETERMINE MY FEES
In general I use two factors: the length of the photo session, and how many people are in the shoot because more people equals longer editing times.

Beautiful photography is one of the most important factors in attracting bookings for your vacation rental. I specialize in creating High Dynamic Range Photography for bright, inviting images that help your property stand out on platforms like Airbnb and Vrbo.

My professional vacation rental photography highlights the natural beauty, atmosphere, and details that make your property special.

With Kauai being one of the most sought-after travel destinations in Hawaii, strong listing images can make a major difference in your property's success.
HDR means High Dynamic Range, which is a method to create depth of lighting in photographs. It is NOT regular photography. The result is the very best lighting for your property. You may well ask what else do you get?
Your session may include:
Honest photography is eyesight realistic. If you require ultra wide photos to make your property appear more spacious, let me know. All photos are delivered in high-resolution format and ready for upload to Airbnb, VRBO, or your property website.
