Ashley Valera Photography

I couldn’t have found a better photographer to get our family photos taken in Kauai— Ashley is simply the best! Very clear communication, quick to respond, easy to get along with. She knew how to build rapport with both my husband and I as soon as we met, she also made my boys feel like family immediately as if we’ve known her for a long time making the shoot feel more natural. During our shoot, she was also able to get shots of this father and son tandem who’s been practicing surfing for several mornings already and she gave them her contact info so she can provide the photos to them as a core memory. How cool was that! Once we were done, she also made some recommendations on where to eat and hang out in the north shore, a secret beach that was so fun to discover! We got our photos very quickly and we were so happy with how they turned out! Just in time for us to get it printed for our holiday cards too! I highly recommend you book Ashley to capture the best memories of your trip/special occasion! You won’t regret it! Thank you Ashley for being a consummate professional and a wonderful human being! Mahalo for the gift of you!

What a great find! Found Ashley when looking for a family photo shoot while visiting Kauai. Up front she is incredibly responsive and professional. She made booking a breeze and made great suggestions for location and time based on our needs and goals. Once we were on the island, we had a snag with an illness but she was so accommodating and we're fortunate her schedule allowed for a last minute change. At the photo shoot she had a plan and quickly assessed the different mini groups in our clan. She was so good with the children and easily accommodated a disabled family member leaving no one out. When the photo gallery arrived we are all thrilled with how well they turned out. Will above our expectations. She is so talented. Thank you Ashley!
