If you’re planning a trip to Kauai and want to preserve those special moments, a Family Photoshoot with Nicole Ghigliotty might just be what you’re looking for. We’ve come across this experience through reviews and descriptions, and it seems like a solid option for families, couples, or anyone wanting professional photos that feel natural and genuine.
What we really like about it? First, the fact that it’s a 30-minute session—short enough to fit into most schedules but long enough to get some nice shots. Second, the edited images and easy online gallery make it straightforward to access and share your memories. But, of course, it’s not perfect; the main consideration is that it’s priced at $400 per group, which is a fair investment for the quality and professionalism, but you’ll want to weigh whether a half-hour of photos suits your needs.
This experience is ideal if you’re after beautiful, relaxed photos that highlight your loved ones against Kauai’s scenic backdrops. It’s especially suited for groups up to 10 people, making it a handy option for family gatherings or friends traveling together. If you’re looking for a quick, professional way to capture Kauai’s beauty, keep reading.

What’s the Experience Like?

The family photoshoot takes place in the gorgeous surroundings of Poipu, Kauai. All you need to do is pick a location that suits your vibe—whether it’s a beachside spot, lush greenery, or somewhere meaningful to your group. The photographer, Nicole, brings a lifestyle approach, meaning she favors natural, candid poses over stiff, traditional ones. This makes for pictures that genuinely reflect your personality and the relaxed spirit of Kauai.
During the 30-minute session, Nicole guides you through a variety of poses, but she keeps things fun and natural. The reviews tell us she’s especially great with kids, punctual, and knows how to find the best spots for photos. You might find yourself smiling more because of her friendly, easygoing style rather than feeling like you’re being put through the paces.
Expect to receive 40-60 edited images via an online gallery, meaning you’ll have a healthy collection of photos to choose from. The editing process seems to produce consistent, high-quality results, and the digital downloads make sharing your favorites simple.

The Practicalities and What You Get
Booking is straightforward—you’ll receive confirmation soon after, and the activity is available daily from early morning to evening (7 AM to 7 PM). The cost is $400 per group, which covers up to 10 people. For larger families or groups, this is a reasonable rate considering you’ll get a private session and a dedicated photographer.
The meeting point is in Poipu, a well-connected area, and the activity ends back at the starting point. Since it’s private, only your group will participate, making for a personalized experience.
The session lasts around 30 minutes, which is enough time to get a variety of shots without tiring everyone out—especially important if you’re traveling with kids. With bookings typically made about 47 days in advance, you’ll want to plan ahead to secure your preferred date and time.
Why It Stands Out

What makes this photoshoot special? Several things, but top of the list is the quality of the images. Multiple reviews praise the photos, with one reviewer calling the photographer “awesome” and mentioning how she was great with the kids. They also highlight the beautiful spots Nicole chose for the shoots, which added to the overall appeal.
Another big plus is the relaxed and fun atmosphere Nicole provides. Instead of stiff poses, you get natural-looking photos that capture the genuine joy of your trip and loved ones. The online gallery access simplifies the process of viewing, downloading, and sharing your photos—no fuss involved.
However, the price might be a sticking point for some. At $400, it’s an investment, but given the professional quality, quick turnaround, and the ability to include up to 10 people, many will find it worthwhile, especially for those wanting high-quality, lasting memories.
Who Would Love This?

This experience suits families, couples, or small groups who want a quick, professional keepsake of their trip. If you’re celebrating a special occasion—like a proposal, engagement, or maternity—the relaxed style will help capture those tender moments naturally. It’s also good for anyone who values high-quality edited images and a simple, no-hassle booking process.
While not specifically marketed as family-friendly, reviews indicate that Nicole’s talent with kids makes it a viable option for family groups. Still, if you’re traveling with very young children or elderly relatives, consider the pace and location choices.
Final Thoughts

A Family Photoshoot on Kauai offers a straightforward, high-quality way to preserve your memories amid some of the island’s most beautiful scenery. The relaxed, natural style of photography ensures your images will feel authentic, and the convenient online gallery makes it easy to access and share your photos. The experience seems well-loved for its professional approach, beautiful spots, and friendly photographer.
If you’re seeking a quick, fun session that produces stunning results—especially if you’re traveling with a group—this could be a perfect addition to your Kauai trip. Just remember to plan ahead, as bookings tend to fill up well in advance.
Overall, for the price, you’re getting a professional, personalized service that yields beautiful, natural photos you’ll cherish for years to come.
