Life and light. They are both gifts! Both magical, and both fleeting. And sometimes there are moments when they join up together perfectly, and time stands still. And if you're lucky, someone is there with a camera to capture it all! Then somewhere down the road, you can go back and feel a child's arms around your neck.

One of the BEST photo experiences we've ever had. We had a large family of 14.and 6 were kids under the age of 5! Laura was just absolutely phenomenal with the kids. She was patient and so kind, and had great methods to work with the kids and environment. The family photo totally blew our minds. Everyone was raving about how gorgeous it turned out.

They drive us crazy, but we love them and couldn't imagine life without them! And we want to document every messy, beautiful moment when they're young, old and in-between. Sessions typically last 1 hour and include 45-50 edited digital images. For that once in a lifetime family trip to Hawaii with Grandma, Grandpa and Uncle Fred.

Laura was such a joy to work with. We had a large group (15 of us) and she made taking the photos enjoyable. We love how the photos turned out and would highly recommend her if on the big island!!

WOW.
Laura did our oldest son’s high school graduation pictures and my wife and I were both HIGHLY impressed with the quality and quantity of her work. The variety of backgrounds was also fantastic, and best of all, she REALLY brought out our son’s personality in her shots. Laura is definitely one of the best photographers we’ve ever had!

Laura is fantastic! We had the best photo shoot with her on the beach! She captured every facet of what we wanted and with 16 people to boot! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the forever memories of Hawaii! She is so genuine and professional! Even getting grumpy kids happy again. 😊

Laura just shot my wedding and did an AMAZING job. She truly is passionate about her job and it’s comes out in her photos. She pays attention to the smallest details, making sure everything is perfect but is so much fun to work with. She is easy going and fun, making everyone feel comfortable and at at ease. Her work is excellent and I can’t give her enough stars and praise on this review.

Laura was so fun to work with! We flew from out of state to Hawaii on our annual trip to the Big Island, and my husband and I wanted to have maternity photos taken while on vacation (first time parents!) I had reached out to Laura via her website about a month prior to our trip and she was very responsive from the beginning. I told her a little about us and what kinds of photos we were hoping to get, and she replied with several options for us to choose from. Communication with Laura was easy and professional -- she wasn't overbearing and gave us lots of time to decide on what we wanted. She even

Our family photo session included 6 adults and five little boys. Laura's patience and professionalism made all the difference. We booked from California and she was easy to communicate with and she selected the perfect location for our shoot in Kona. She made us all feel comfortable and was patient to get all the boys to cooperate. Our photos are so amazing we are having trouble selecting our favorites. Thank you Laura for nailing it and capturing our family perfectly! I would highly recommend Life and Light Hawaii Photography!

One of the BEST photo experiences we've ever had. We had a large family of 14...and 6 were kids under the age of 5 (2 6month old babies)! Laura was just absolutely phenomenal with the kids. She was patient and so kind, and had great methods to work with the kids and environment. The family photo totally blew our minds. Everyone was raving about how gorgeous it turned out. We can't wait to see the rest! Laura got every picture on our list, and then some great casual shots which are sure to be priceless! Thank you for giving us such a wonderful experience.

We recently had a photo session with Laura Baker of Hawaii Life and Light. We were a group of 14, including 6 children , ages 2-13. Laura did a great job of keeping the children’s attention and capturing the essence of our family. Thank you for the beautiful photos and enhancing our vacation memories.

Laura did an awesome job capturing our family at a recent photo shoot. She was so responsive with emails and was able to schedule us last minute during Christmas week. Her fun personality had all of us laughing and smiling at 7:30 in the morning! The location she suggested was so pretty and we’re very pleased with the finished product. 100% recommend! Thanks again!
