If you are planning a trip to Oahu, you might be thinking about hiring a photographer to capture your pregnancy announcement, family photos, holiday photos, maternity photos, or perhaps a surprise engagement. If you are wondering when the best time to reach out is, here are a few tips.

Tip 1: Reach out right when you book your plane flight! Hopefully that is around 3 months in advance.

Tip 2: Holiday weekends, holidays in general, and kids school breaks are the most popular times, so definitely reach out even sooner if you are traveling during those times. Either way it doesn’t hurt to ask if I am available!

The family photos that I am sharing are of a family that booked a session with me last minute! I think it was 2 days in advance. So, this is a great example of how you just never know if I will have availability! This was such a beautiful morning on the east side of Oahu. It was windy like it usually is, but I am very used to the wind;) and most of my clients know that if they choose a windy location they need to be prepared to bring all of the positivity and good vibes for great photos like these!
