Lightness Photography

Bodhi is an excellent photographer who was able to put us at ease right away. This allowed him to get superb natural shots of our family. His suggestions for posed and non-posed photos made for amazing photos. I can't recommend him enough! More...

We were recently on Oahu celebrating my parents 40th wedding anniversary. My Mom wanted family pictures taken. We found Lightness Photography on Instagram and was struck by his dramatic use of light and creativity. We could not be happier working with Bodhi. He was great with our family, especially our kids and his selection of location and mastery working with flash made for truly unique photos we will treasure. If you are thinking of booking a shoot with Bodhi you should do it you will not regret it. More...

Thank you, Bodhi! We absolutely love our photos! Our very first time in Hawaii and we were celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary! We found your website from 4000 miles away and knew that you were the one. You captured "us". We will always cherish those memories of our sunset photo shoot. You are so talented and accommodating.

So happy we choose Bodhi with Lightness Photography for our family photos while vacationing in Oahu!!! He responds to questions immediately, and always with helpful answers. He was fun and worked well with our kids, ages 14, 12, and 8. He was able to capture the sun and surf just as I had dreamed!! We received proofs within the day, and edited photos just as quick. He gave great direction and I'm so excited to get these on my walls!! Thanks for all your work , Bodhi!! More...

My fiancé and I had our engagement photos taken by Bodhi about a couple weeks ago, and we are so happy with the way our pictures turned out! I contacted Bodhi via email a week before our vacation to Oahu and he responded immediately with his availability. He suggested meeting at 8:30 a.m., so then I asked if we could meet in the afternoon instead, since I'm not an early bird ;P He advised us that the best time to have our photos taken would be in the morning because it's cooler outside, not as many people out, and the sun won't be in our eyes. I really appreciated his feedback, because it was soo true!We met Bodhi at Kahala Beach on a Sunday at 8:30 a.m. He informed us of his work and what we should expect during the photo shoot, as well as assured us that he was welcome to any ideas we had, since it was ultimately our photo shoot. My fiancé and I have never taken professional pictures before so we trusted Bodhi with all of our poses. He would show us how to pose and explained how those poses would accentuate our features (i.e., elongate my legs, etc.). Bodhi has a great sense of humor too. Our one hour with him went by so quick! It really was a pleasure to work with him and we highly recommend him if you're looking for a photographer to capture your best moments! More...

I chose Bodhi to shoot our family photos because he was genuine and professional. He had a plan for the location and shots, which minimized downtime, but he was very open to any ideas we offered. He kept everyone engaged, he got GREAT shots that we absolutely love, and he posted them for review even faster than his committed timeframe. The photos are lovely - his online gallery is just a hint of what he's able to do with a camera. Our entire family - parents, children, and grandchildren - eleven of us in all - are rarely photographed all together at the same time because we have family members who are less than enthusiastic about posed group photos. Bodhi managed to make our session both fun and efficient - he got a thumbs up from everyone in our crew. We couldn't be happier with the photos or the experience. Thanks, Bodhi! Let's do it again!

We were so overwhelmed when we first saw our wedding pics! The results are amazing!!

I am so happy with our family photos!!! I poured over pictures from various photographers before we headed on our family vacation to Oahu. I absolutely loved what I saw on Bodhi's website. I have 3 young children, ages 8, 5, and 2. Let's just say, family pictures can be so stressful with a young family! I couldn't be happier with the shots Bodhi was able to capture. He brought bubbles for my two youngest children, and was able to get some amazing pictures of my 2-year-old. I really struggle getting good pictures of her, and I am overjoyed by the photos I have now! We decided on a sunset backdrop, and I was worried about the time being too late for my kiddos (we live in TX). Bodhi made the whole process fun, and the girls did surprisingly well. If we ever head back to Oahu, I will most definitely have him capture these special family moments again! Thank you Bodhi! More...

I hired Bodhi to photograph our family while we were in Hawaii on vacation. We had a three generation vacation planned and I decided I wanted to document the occasion with fun family photos. I couldn’t be more pleased with my decision and happier with how everything turned out. The pictures turned out beautiful and are a lovely reminder of my family’s time together. Bodhi was both professional and helpful as he had good suggestions for how to pose to generate the fun, less formal look we wanted along with the fact that he was able to show us several different beaches near where we were staying that would provide the backdrop we wanted. The pictures Bodhi produced have been a highlight for everyone in my family and are generating lots of buzz on our social media. What a great memory for us! I highly recommend doing this with your own family and utilizing Bodhi Hutton as your photographer. More...

Bodhi is a wonderful photographer that we would not hesitate to recommend to any one. I made plans to propose to my girlfriend (now fiancé) in Hawaii and wanted to capture the special moment for our memories. I was initially very worried about selecting a photographer and how the photos would turn out as its a surprise proposal and it’s our first time in Hawaii. Bodhi made me feel so comfortable and was the most perfect photographer. He spent hours on the phone helping me pick a location for my proposal and helping me plan the whole day. His dedication was amazing as he hiked up to Makapu Lighthouse and waited for us to get there and hiked down with us while capturing some amazing photos. He managed to capture the perfect amount of staged and candid photos and even included some very funny ones. The only problem we have encountered is trying to choose our favourites, because there are just so many amazing shots. Thank you so much Bodhi! You captured our day perfectly. More...

Bodhi is so incredibly talented. I booked our session with Lightness photography for my husband and mines' anniversary and because we are leaving Hawaii in fall. We've had professional pictures done before, but I cannot express how much fun this session was. It felt natural. The photos looked candid and natural. They looked like us! Bodhi strives for the right shot and right moment every single pose. Every time. I was so happy with our gallery we received back. Once we started shooting, I was a little nervous and overthinking basically every movement, but Bodhi made us both relax right away. If I could give 10 stars I would! You won't be disappointed if you book with lightness photography. More...

First of all, I cannot recommend Lightness Photography enough!!! The photographer Bodhi was amazing and a delight to work with! ! I was planning a vacation to Oahu with my family and decided to add a photo session for our first time. I researched for a couple weeks and kept coming back to Lightness Photography due to the bright and colorful images. I knew this was the company I wanted to work with! I reached out and was responded to immediately. Bodhi was very professional and offered a variety of options and locations to best suit my needs, as I wanted a sunset shoot. The day of the shoot, it was raining (not the pretty rainbow rain) dark, grey and no sign of sun. Bodhi gave me an option to shoot another day, and that’s exactly what we did. I am so happy he was willing to accommodate our shoot with the unpredictable weather conditions. Our shoot was everything and more that we could have asked for! He worked very well with my four year old daughter and our pictures came out AMAZING!!! I am so glad that we chose Lightness Photography and you will be too!!! Five Stars all the way!!! More...

For the first time, my entire family was together, in one of the most beautiful places in the world! We wanted to get professional photos taken to document the vacation. I loved Bodhi's work, and after contacting him, he was very flexible and had great ideas on locations. The session went smoothly, considering there were 19 of us including 7 little kids! He was patient, never rushed us, and he made sure that all of us got the photos we wanted. The photos he took came out beautifully, too! If I am ever on Oahu again, I will make sure that I get Bodhi to do another photo shoot! More...

Originally we were drawn to Bodhi from his webpage as we searched for photographers for our family pictures while planning for our trip to Oahu. His portfolio was awe inspiring and you could see his passion come alive in the pictures. From our first email in asking for help in selecting the best location for what we were looking for Bodhi was professional and friendly. Working with him during our session was a treat - both our boys loved him as well and it shows in our pictures! Bodhi would definitely be our number one choice anytime we are looking for photography while on Oahu. Thank you for making it a fun, enjoyable and professional experience! Our pictures are truly amazing and our youngest son still refers to Bodhi as his modelling coach :) More...

Bodhi did an amazing job! I chose Bodhi after an exhaustive research of several photography companies in the area. Bodhi was very quick to reply to all my questions and worked with us on the scheduling. That is why I chose him over several other options, flexibility and responsiveness. Bodhi chose a location close to the home we rented in Waimanalo Beach. It wasn't one of the beaches that seemed very popular on the travel websites, but the other pictures taken there looked surreal. When we arrived there, we were blown away by the beauty of the beach. If fact, after the shoot, we changed into our swimming suits and spent the entire day there. Bodhi was very careful when it came to setting up the perfect lighting and poses for the pictures. And the candid pictures came out amazing as well. We love them all. Thank you, Bodhi! More...
