Capture some family photos. This was our grandson’s first vacation/trip to the beach. We met Sara about an hour before sunset. She was amazing! Lots of energy and fun to work with. She suggested poses and made the entire process stress free! We had the MOST gorgeous sunset as our backdrop! I will cherish these family photos and will not hesitate to use the local lens and Sara again! Our pictures are us! No strange colors or edits. Natural and just what I wanted! -Lauren

We book a shoot for our special occasion and it has been over 20 years since family pics. This was our first trip to Hawaii and our son just graduated college. The last time we did family beach pictures, he was 5. We figured this was a perfect time to do them again. We found Local Lens on the intranet, sent the info, and within 48 hours we choose our photographer (Jesse) and set up the shoot. Jesse did a phenomenal job and we ended up purchasing every photo. We could not have been happier. -Susan

We booked a shoot for memories. Jesse was an amazing photographer! He took our family pictures which wasn't an easy task. There were thirteen of us including an infant.

The pictures were all great and he made the photo shoot a lot of fun! This was the first time I didn't hear complaints from my family about a photo shoot. We all had a great experience. Mahalo, Jesse! -Lisa

We booked a shoot because we wanted to capture our family in paradise. I scheduled to take family photos with Jesse on Sunday at Shipwreck Beach. I had been watching the forecast and every day it was at least 80-100% rain ⛈ Jesse was optimistic and said he never had to cancel a session. Sunday morning comes and it’s the day of flash flood warnings. Again Jesse isn’t phased and says, let’s see how the weather is at 3:30 pm. Slowly but surely the rain showers dissipate and the photoshoot is on. Thanks, Jesse for the optimism and patience with me and my worried texts. The photos came out beautifully and I don’t think the kids even complained. -Michelle

We booked a shoot for our family memories. Jesse was amazing. He knows Kauai well and was willing to drive to the south part of the island in Poipu to do our family photo shoot. We were able to get family pics, individuals of our children, and couples pictures.

Jesse communicated great, listened to what we wanted, and made the entire experience a positive one. Highly recommended! -Julia
