"The photography was simply spectacular in its outcome. Timory has a wonderful, intuitive eye for seeing just the right pose or just the right spontaneous moment to perfectly capture not just image but feeling. She also had a great knowledge of the event location and the island environs, and chose just the right settings, backgrounds and locations for our group photos. We simply can’t imagine having better photographic reminders of our family poses, and we will treasure the pictures forever. Timory is really a delight to work with – personable, warm and thoughtful, coupled with a gentle playfulness – and is one of those rare people who brings out the best in those she’s working with. She’s dedicated, committed and well-organized, and really went the extra distance for us at every turn. We couldn’t recommend her more highly."

"Thanks again for the wonderful photos you did for us at Lydgate Beach on Kauai. Thanks for getting the CD to us so quickly.
WOW – the pictures are beautiful! We are so stoked on your work! We love the pictures. The only problem is to find the ones we like best:) We didn't think it would be so difficult to narrow it down, but you did such an amazing job, we love pretty much all of them:)
We can't wait till we return in August for our wedding with you as the wedding planner. We have even used some of the pictures to make invitation cards! Thank you soooooo much, we really appreciate it:)"

"We used Timory McDonald for our family photos on Kauai in December 2014. We arranged everything over the phone and via email with Caitlin, who was prompt and answered all our questions. Timory took our photos and was great dealing with our large group – 20 people total, ages 1 to 60, 12 people of whom were under the age of 7! The weather wasn’t the most cooperative, but Timory kept the kids marvelously entertained while we waited. She was organized and captured all the shots that we requested in a timely manner. She was able to get us our photos to us before we left Kauai. We would definitely recommend Timory for your family photos! Thank you Timory & Caitlin!"

"We did our engagement pictures with Timory McDonald. I am so incredibly happy we did! I was researching for a while with whom to do our pictures when we were on Kauai. It was very easy to communicate with her even though we live on a different island (Oahu). Timory was great and very responsive during the whole consultation process. She wanted to know more about my vision and what the colors would be for the day. When it came to picture day, she led us to a perfect beach location at Lydgate Beach. She photographed us with many different poses along the water and logs. Then we added in props such as the scrabble pieces and vintage signs. We changed outfits halfway through the session and I wanted her opinion on which outfits to use. The handprint in the sand with my engagement ring was such an awesome idea! I am so pleased and delighted with the photos we received. Timory has a very special gift and is very creative. I would definitely recommend using her for engagement or family photos. You won’t be disappointed!"

"We received the DVD and the pictures look great! You did a great job, especially given the circumstances.
Now we can look at pictures of our memories and it puts us back on the beach. The pictures look great and thanks for everything you did."

"Wonderful, thank you Timory! We’ll tell others of your beautiful work and we’ll definitely call for photos again the next time we are in Kauai."

"Our son decided to leave the island, which inspired us to have family photos done before he left. After considering a number of photographers, we selected Timory. She met us at the beach and did a wonderful job setting up different types of settings. She provided us with high quality professional photos of both family and individuals.
Timory has great energy and is a pleasure to work with. I really appreciate her "eye" and the precious moments she captured. There were so many nice photos.
Thank you for giving us "treasures" for our family to cherish forever."

"I recently decided to have my photo taken with my grandson, and after asking around Kauai for a good photographer, chose Timory for the job.
Portraits are difficult enough to capture the right light, expression and look without having a bubbly, bouncing, mischievous 10 month old baby on your lap. Fortunately Timory had all the skill and patience necessary for the task and was quite adept at getting the baby to look at the camera and smile at the same time.
The photographs have turned out beautifully and will be a lasting keepsake of this wonderful time in our lives. The thing about photographs is you don’t appreciate them as much at the time as you do several years down the track. They are a wonderful emotional investment for yourself and future generations."
