Testimonial

Cori of Sun Sessions HI. Was absolutely incredible! She worked tirelessly to capture shots of my active toddler and made the session feel so natural, like just a morning at the beach with my family. The pictures turned out BEYOND beautiful. I could not be happier with them. Thank you Cori!!! If you live on Oahu or are visiting please don’t hesitate to book a session with her.

Cori is such a JOY to work with! Our photo session lined up with our daughters first birthday and we felt Cori was so successful in getting our baby to playfully interact during the photoshoot. Every picture we received was beautiful - we will cherish these forever! Thank you again Cori for such a fun photoshoot 🙏

I highly recommend Cori! We hired her to do our wedding photography and we were so impressed by her professionalism, composition, and direction on posing for the couples shoot after the ceremony. We sent her some Pinterest inspiration and she did an amazing job providing us with exactly what we had envisioned for the entire event!

Sun Sessions HI photography is amazing! We are in love with how our photos turned out! Cori has such a great eye for framing the shots. She is very professional, pays attention to all the details and it shows up in the amazing quality of her work! She is also the fastest photographer I’ve ever worked with to edit and share photos after the shoot! Very much appreciated. If you are living on Oahu or just here for vacation, you should definitely book a session with Cori! Highly recommend!

I can’t recommend Sun Sessions enough! Cori and Tristan are professional, flexible, and so talented! The photos are truly epic and were fun to shoot on top of it all! Their calm demeanor and flexibility with stormy weather even put our infant at ease and she smiled through the shoot! The edits were turned around super fast and we had the photos taken right before the holidays. I’ll recommend this business to anyone—families, couples, maternity shots, all of it! You won’t regret it!

Cori and Tristan shot our first baby photos and they came out fantastic. We are really happy with the quality and the process. Cori was very accommodating and patient with us considering we had a 2.5 month old! We all had fun with it. Some of my favorite shots are also the ones of us goofing off and all of us laughing. I highly recommend working with Sun Sessions. They’re amazing.
