About 
About Jeff
Local boy, amateur photographer Jeff Okuna, has grown up and lived most of his life here on the Big Island of Hawaii. Jeff says "I'm fortunate to have been raised here in hawaii, and that is what makes me a well grounded person."
Jeff has always been interested in creative digital photograpy starting off as a hobby, while taking surf photo's of his buddies and others at local surf spots on the Big Island. Being mostly self taught and eventually wanting to learn more, with some help & encouragment while learning under 50 year professional photographer Robert Weygand Sr. has made him appreciate life's moments a little more
"There is just something about taking the photograph, of a person, event, or special moment in time that although it can be duplicated, that exact moment will never ever happen again. Walking down the same street everyday, so routine one, could never notice the fine details that surrounds us everyday. Seeing that same street in a photo, from a different perspective tells us a story that would otherwise go unnoticed." - Jeff Okuna
Info & Rates Info on rates:
I do not consider myself and I am not a professional photographer. This means, I do not live off of photo shoot earnings, and that I take my photographs as a hobby rather than a profession. You'll find that it's because of this reason I am able to charge considerably less then other professional photographers.
I am willing to offer a more flexible rate when compared to other photographers. I feel that just because you have a birthday party, sporting event, engagement, or wedding event doesn't mean that you shouldn't be able to afford a photographer. It's all the more reason why you SHOULD have a photographer! This is what I want to offer to all of my clients, the option of having a photographer for your event. To do this I have made myself more then willing to work with a small budget to come up with a solution for your photographic needs! All you need to do is ask!

FAQ Frequently Asked Questions
Where are my photos?
Sometimes it may take longer then expected to recieve your images. I make it a point to review your images and edit/post process all of the images that will be included on your final disc. I work on and process images in the order that my photographic services are contracted. It's the only fair way to process the photographs for my clients. If you are leaving the Island and wish to take the images with you before you leave, I will make every effort to expedite the process however often times I will have the disc shipped to your home address. *Your photos will not be processed untill your balance has been paid in full.
Can I view my photos online?
Yes, after your done with the photo shoot, we will contact you via email about your password for the online gallery. You'll have access to a locked gallery where proofs of your images can be viewed online. Sorry, you can't download these images, you'll have to wait till you recieve a copy of your images sent to you on disc. Your online gallery's password can be given to family or friends for viewing, images can also be purchased and custom professional prints can be made through the use of our online gallery feature. The online gallery is _ www.jkokunaphotography.smugmug.com
Can I pick a location?
If you'd like to pick your own location, please feel free to do so it wont be a problem at all.
What should we wear?
This varies by location, I honestly suggest wearing something that make you feel comfortable, if we are shooting at the beach wear something that you dont mind getting a little sand on. Group portraits, large family portraits often look good when individuals wear the same style of clothings (same color aloha print shirts, etc) but you are not limited to what you want to wear at all. Multiple outfits are not a problem at all
How can I view your work?
The website gallery (portfolio page) isn't updated as much as it should be, and I apologize for that. However, you can view more of my images and most recent work done by visiting my photoblog at
www.jkokunaphotography.blogspot.com
How many pictures/photos will I recieve?
There really is no limit as to how many picture you will recieve on disc, there is no limit to how many pictures will be viewable online, there is no limit what so ever. When I review all of your images often times I will look over duplicates or similar shots of the same pose and pick the best one for the final disc. Other then that, you recieve every shot that is taken during your event!
