General Questions

WHAT IS YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY STYLE?

I shoot a combination of documentary-style photography and posed portraiture. I want to tell the story of your session, capturing genuine moments and candid interactions, with a few posed close-ups in-between. I can give as little or as much direction as you want, most of my clients ask for some direction throughout the shoot. The end result is a blended collection of candid and posed portraits of your experience.

DO YOU TRAVEL?

Yes! I love to travel for my clients! I’m currently based in Kaua’i, and frequently travel to the mainland or throughout the Hawaiian Islands! Whether its a breathtaking destination wedding, romantic couple portraits, family photos, a sunset proposal, or dreamy photoshoot under the sea, I will be there!

DO YOU SHOOT WEDDINGS OR ELOPEMENTS?

I specialize in Action Sports, Portraits, Weddings & Events. Feel free to view my website portfolio or instagram @carenaleighphotography for more.

DO YOU HAVE A STUDIO?

Hawaii does not offer studio locations. I do however have studio access on the mainland if your shoot is in Orange County, CA. I work from a home office, which allows me to keep costs down for my clients, while truly providing a unique photography experience every session.

DO YOU HAVE INSURANCE?

Yes! I have insurance for peace of mind for both my clients and myself. I am also registered with the Hawaii DLNR to easily pull beach permits for portrait sessions and events. The type of insurance I have also allows me to access many resorts and venues in Hawaii, including 1 Hotel, Four Seasons Resort, Kukio Golf & Beach Club, Mauna Kea Resort, Mauna Lani Resort, Marriott and more!
