Find Your Vacation Photographer

Hi I'm charina, your Honolulu, Hawaii Photographer
Aloha! We look forward to chasing lights with you! We spend a lot of our free time getting lost in nature, it’s where we're most at peace and serene..so we know a lot of great scenery when it comes to shoot locations. We also love the energy connections between humans and what we're most passionate about is empowering each other. We''ve picked up professional photography during covid time and fell in love with the art of photography. Since then we take pictures of moments that we enjoy. We enjoy studying nature, light, humanity and pairing these moments with my camera. That's why we love photography - we are always able to achieve something new or special. So far we have proven our skills by maintaining five star reviews on Google, Yelp and Thumbtack.
For your enhanced photos; you may request warm tones, and dramatic look instead of bright and airy.
Light and love,
David and Charina

Charina made our surprise proposal so magical. The photoshoot was amazing, and the pictures were perfect. Charina did an amazing job and helped out a lot with my proposal plan also. The sunrise on Kahala Beach was so beautiful. -Charina

Charina was amazing and so helpful! She helped me pick the perfect location to propose and had tons of good recommendations that I wouldn't have thought about. She also showed up early and helped us stage all our pictures and poses throughout the shoot. I couldn't have done it without her help.
The pictures turned out great, and I couldn't recommend her more. She edited our pictures and got them back to us much faster than expected. Her communication throughout the entire process was perfect. If you're planning any kind of photoshoot in Oahu, I highly recommend Charina. -Tyler

Thank you so much for the wonderful pictures and your fantastic work!!
I would love to do another photo session with Charina whenever I travel back to Hawaii! -Karen

We had a last minute photoshoot with Charina in Oahu. She was very professional and took amazing pics for us.
This was our first ever photoshoot and the instructions she gave were detailed and got the best out of us. I would recommend her highly. -Shadab

Charina was a great photographer for my surprise proposal! She worked with us on such short notice and the photos came out amazing. -Tony

Charina,

We appreciate you,
The Johnson Family💜 -Ebony

Everything was great! Pictures turned out really nice and Charina had some great recommendations for me.
Couldn’t have asked for anything else! -Austin

Charina was WONDERFUL! She met us in a beautiful location and was on time and professional. She was quick and efficient for a 30-minute family photo session. It was so hard to pick our photos, and I would recommend purchasing more upfront if I did it over again. I am so glad we used Local Lens and Charina! You won't be disappointed! -Kim

Charina was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!! She met us at sunset on a beach in Oahu. Shooting in that kind of light is difficult, but not for Charina. Book her! You will have phenomenal pics. Mahalo Charina! -Lauri

David was our photographer, his wife is Charina. They both were able to help me with my secret proposal to my now fiancé. They had an amazing setup at a beautiful secluded location. David was able to communicate with me via text up until the proposal to make sure everything went smooth. I was satissifed with our photo shoot. -John
