We have a playful, candid, and flexible, yet structured, systematic, and guided approach to posing. We know how to make you look your best at all times and are confident that we can get photos you will love of yourself, while also giving you a FUN and MEANINGFUL experience in front of the lens.
We know exactly where the best place is to take photos at each location for the best light. We do this to make sure that YOU pop in your images. This saves us so much time at your session and ensures that you get the best results. Also, a little stunning gorgeous light never hurt anyone. :)
We believe that God created each person with unique, individual skin tones and coloring. We do our best to honor that by editing each session uniquely with an eye to make sure that YOU "pop!" This may mean adjusting the lighting, contrast, or the warmth/coolness to make sure that the edit suits you, specifically.
We want you to be able to choose a location that fits your style without having to start from scratch. When you inquire, we give you the opportunity to choose your location from your questionnaire that matches your style and relationship.
(Mini sessions are at a pre-determined location.)
Before you even start thinking about putting together outfits, our style guide walks you through how to flatter each member of your family and easily put together seamless, cohesive family outfits for your photoshoot with ideas you most likely wouldn't think of and suggestions to elevate your entire shoot.
You didn't just make that investment of time and money for the images to just rot on the back of the internet somewhere. After your session we have one last call where we walk you through the process of choosing your heirlooms and getting them printed for you.
You didn't just make that investment of time and money for the images to just rot on the back of the internet somewhere. We want you to walk away with tangible photos from your session. After your session you will have the option to upgrade to a photo album and or wall art.
"I knew that Ian & Kina's true-to-color style was exactly what I wanted, but I had little confidence in posing. Kina's bubbly excitement quickly overcame any doubts I had and we had a fabulous time together! The photos I received are still some of my favorites, and I use them constantly. Get ready for a fun, laughter-filled session! Kina and Ian will put you at ease right away and you'll end up with some of your favorite photos."
PUT you At ease."
"IAN & Kina will
We love Kina! We wanted to work with her because we know her to be super relatable, honest, outgoing, and easy to work with. She was flexible with our schedule and with the weather (adjusted things and areas for photoshoot based on what the weather was doing) so that we would have the best pictures possible! We were a little nervous about the photoshoot in general because, well, it's a photoshoot! Also I was 4 days away from my due date to have my child and was uncomfortable due to that as well. She quickly put us at ease and made us feel so natural while we were taking photos instead of overly posed. We did not feel rushed, but she was very efficient with the time.
At ease."
"Kina quickly put us
Also, she chose positions and places for us to take pictures that were comfortable for me. We absolutely loved our photos! Each one was so thoughtfully taken. As if having perfect pictures were not enough, the timing for us receiving them was outstanding - she edited and ended up getting them all back to us in the same day! You will have a wonderful experience working with Kina. She is professional, talented, and has a great personality! If you are the type of person who dreads getting your picture taken, Kina will put your worries at ease. PLease choose Kina TenHaken as your next photographer! You will not be disappointed!
At ease."
