We got in touch with Keala at the very last minute, days before our wedding. We decided to hire a pro even though we initially just planned to set up a tripod to capture the moment. She was responsive but looking at her work we didn’t want to put high expectations. She showed up on time. She was professional. But we had shown her the one photo that we took with our tripod to show her the one shot we really wanted that would capture the landscape and the moment itself. We brief her on where she needed to stand to capture the photo we wanted. We told her no highly edited pics and ultra saturated photos. She got that part. But didn’t quite capture the moment how we wanted it captured. We wanted the beauty of the landscape to be captured, plus us. There was one picture out of the 60 she took, that we sorta liked. The most disappointing part is the fact that it took her six weeks to send us the photos :(

I was more than delighted with the results of our photo session! We received excellent location recommendations and the photographer was always extremely helpful and accommodating! I'd highly recommend this photographer!
Keala was fantastic! She answered all of my questions in detail and was always quick to respond. My husband and I needed a someone photographer within 4 days of me putting in my inquiry. Keala was able to make it happen the very same day!!! I put in my inquiry in the morning and by sunset, we were on the beach taking photos. She even went to the store and picked up flowers for me to use during the shoot. My husband and I didn’t know of any locations to take the photos, but Keala was able to recommend the best spots. She was also very helpful with instructing us on where to pose. We had no idea how to pose and would have looked very awkward if it wasn’t for her guidance. She even had photos with examples of poses to help us out! We really ended up having a lot of fun taking our photos together, which was surprising because my husband wasn’t overly excited about it, but he ended up having a great time. Keala was very professional and knowledgeable, but also friendly and fun. You can tell from working with her that she has passion for her job. If anyone is reading this while trying to decide whether or not to hire Keala, HIRE HER!!!! There is no doubt in my mind that you will be satisfied with her work. She is great at what she does and truly a pleasure to work with.
She was very personable and accommodating she worked with us in that it was a small job just an anniversary picture however the amount of time it's taking to get the photos back and the lack of communication has been irritating
Keala was absolutely 100% professional through the entire experience. We were looking for a photographer to take pictures of us on our honeymoon in my wedding dress. She was the first to respond and made the process extremely simple and fun! We came to Hilo for a helicopter ride and it was two hours from our location in Kona, so she made it work on the day we were In the area so we wouldn't have to travel 2 hours back again. She brought her son with her as her assistant and he was just the cutest thing. Very sweet and great with direction. I think it's admirable that Keala brought her son and is instilling core values in him like work ethic at such a young age. My husband and I had very little time to take pictures at our wedding and this was our chance to make some more amazing memories to remember through these pictures. We aren't very good at posing and knowing where to go, but Keala suggested the Liliuokalani Park and Garden! It was just INCREDIBLE! She told us where to go, where to stand, how to pose. It all comes so naturally to her and it shows. She gave us such a fair price and amazing quality! She is the one to choose above all others. You won't be disappointed. Love, The happy newlyweds ❤️ Lisa and Ron Leider
Keala is one of the best photographers that I have ever encountered and overall, an incredible person. She is friendly, helpful, professional, punctual, flexible, and a joy to work with from the very start. I was skeptic at first due to the limited responses of Thumbtack offers on the island, but it was one of the best decisions that I made in planning our engagement/family photo shoot while vacationing in Kona. The photos beat our expectations, which were set very high after seeing the awesome work in her portfolio (http://www.hiloportraitphotography.com/). Her work really captured the fun as well as the uniqueness of everyone's personalities. If you are looking for a great photographer to capture the REAL moments, the best ones...you found her!
She was extremely patient with my two month old daughter. She is awesome and I will definitely use her again!
We literally just got done with out pictures and she was amazing! Very patient with us because we have an 8 month old. Took great pictures for our first christmas! I highly recommend her. 😊
Keala was so professional and put us at ease immediately. Her initial proofs were so good we can't wait for the whole order to be processed. Her camera was very very high end and we impressed with her eye for detail!
