Don't think twice about booking Carena! She is amazing! Despite having the odds stacked against us with a strong downpour & my husband losing his wedding ring in the sand (luckily it was found), Carena did everything in her power to capture memorable photos. She took the most adorable 1st birthday pictures of my son and captured truly beautiful family shots. I can't thank Carena enough for making our last day in Kauai truly special.

Carena was so easy to coordinate with, and took great care getting to know my expectations and preferences leading up to the maternity session. She made both my partner and I feel so comfortable during our session and even had some good laughs along the way. We are excited to see the final outcome!

Details: Maternity portrait • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Artistic (focus on composition, lighting) • Candid (captured in the moment) • Outdoors • Digital or online download • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

Carena is AMAZING!!!! She did a fabulous job right from the time we started talking about our shoot, with great ideas and recommendations, excellent communication and just 10/10 experience overall. The pictures she captured are fabulous and we couldn’t have asked for anything better! HIGHLY recommend! Loved working with her!
