Kind words from previous clients...
Hayley & Jacob We had the absolute pleasure of working with Lera for our maternity photoshoot, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. This was the first time either of us had been professionally photographed, and Lera made us feel completely at ease from the very beginning. She’s so easy to talk to, it truly felt like a friend was taking our photos.
Not only did she guide us with gentle direction, but she also let us be ourselves, capturing the most natural and meaningful moments. We walked away from the shoot feeling so comfortable and happy, and the photos she delivered are beyond anything we could’ve imagined. We’ll cherish them forever. Thank you, Lera, for making this special time in our lives even more memorable!
Smera & VinaiOur one-year anniversary shoot in Maui was an unforgettable experience, and we’re so grateful for the way everything was captured. From the moment we met, Lera made us feel completely comfortable and guided us with such ease and kindness throughout the shoot. It felt natural, fun, and incredibly special.
When we saw the final images, we were genuinely touched—they perfectly reflected our love, joy, and the beauty of that moment in time. These photos are something we’ll cherish for a lifetime.
Again, thank you so much for capturing our special moment. We had a wonderful time!
Carly & NickWe are beyond grateful to Lera for capturing our maternity shoot so beautifully. From the moment we met her, she made us feel completely at ease, and that comfort shines through in every photo. Her eye for light, emotion, and detail brought out the joy and tenderness of this special time in our lives.
These photos will forever be a cherished reminder of this chapter, and we will admire them for years to come. Thank you, Lera, for giving us such a meaningful gift. You have a true talent, and we feel so lucky to have worked with you.
The Younanian Family Lera is a gem! She masters the art of capturing the essence of the moment.
The pictures are light, natural and simply beautiful..just as we had wished for.
I absolutely love the pics! Thanks again for these keepsakes.
Sarah & ErikWe had such a great experience working with Lera! Booking the session, communicating with her, and deciding on a location was such an easy process. During the shoot, my husband and I felt so at ease. Lera helped to create a comfortable atmosphere that made it easy to just enjoy the moment.
The photos turned out so beautifully (even with a gloomier sky) and are a perfect way to commemorate our trip. We're so glad that we found Lera and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for lovely, quality photos on Maui.
Paola & JonWe cannot recommend Lera highly enough! From the moment we met her on the beach after our sunset marriage ceremony, we knew we had encountered someone special. Lera noticed us taking selfies and, upon learning that we didn’t have a photographer, generously offered to capture some complimentary photos for us.
Her warmth and kindness truly shined through during our session. Lera was incredibly thoughtful and attentive, making the experience not only enjoyable but also memorable. She has a remarkable ability to capture spontaneous moments, and the photos from our special day are absolutely lovely.
We are so grateful for Lera's talent and generosity, and we wish her all the blessings life can offer. Thank you so much, Lera for being a part of our special day!
Wells Family Lera May Photography was exactly what we were looking for! Lera’s great communication leading up to the shoot helped to take the stress out of the day.
She knew our area well and made some great suggestions that were not too far from our Condo.
The packages offered were affordable and the quality of her photos proved to exceed our expectations.
My family felt very comfortable during the session and Lera’s creative eye produced some great shots that our family will enjoy forever. Thank you!
Michael & TabethaWorking with Lera for our surprise engagement photoshoot was an absolute dream. Lera made us feel so comfortable and at ease right from the start. She helped my fiancé surprise me with a beautiful proposal and she was there to capture it all behind her lens!
Her kindness, patience, and genuine excitement for us made the entire experience unforgettable.She truly listened to all of our thoughts and feedback with such grace and professionalism. What really blew us away was how she went above and beyond to make our shoot special—she even coordinated with our family in New York to ensure some surprise items arrived in Hawaii just in time for the shoot. Even when the weather was less than ideal—cloudy and a bit stormy—Lera stayed committed to capturing the best photos possible. After we had officially wrapped up the session, the sun suddenly came out… and instead of calling it a day, she grabbed her camera again and encouraged us to take a few more shots.
Our photos are breathtaking and perfectly capture the magic and surprise of our engagement. We can’t thank Lera enough for her dedication, her eye for beauty, and her incredible heart. She gave us more than photos—she gave us memories we’ll cherish forever.
With so much gratitude,
Tabetha and Michael!
