    Island Life HHI Photography seems to have mastered the art of working with families, particularly when things don't go according to plan. Multiple reviewers rave about the photographers' flexibility with weather changes and ability to pivot locations seamlessly. The team regularly gets called out by name, with Karen, Rick, Ashlee, Maria, and Joe all earning enthusiastic praise for being personable, professional, and especially skilled at managing large multigenerational groups. Parents consistently mention how well the photographers work with children and even pets, using everything from loud directing voices to little toys as incentives. Quick turnaround times on photos impressed several families, with one noting they received images much faster than expected. That said, a couple of reviewers felt let down by the final product quality. One family received photos with closed eyes and missed moments, while another found their overall selection disappointing and expensive. There's also a helpful note that if you're hoping for candid, lifestyle shots rather than traditional posed photos, you'll want to communicate that upfront since the default approach leans toward structured posing. The vast majority of families had wonderful experiences though, particularly appreciating how efficiently photographers worked through large group combinations and different settings, whether on the beach, in the marsh, or at non-beach locations around the area.

    ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! 100/10 recommend Island Life Photography. Our photographer, Rick, was amazing and very easy/comfortable to work with. He streamlined the pictures and organized us so we utilized every minute of the beautiful sunrise. We got all the photos we wanted and they all turned out spectacularly. They were available to us for download WAY sooner than any photographer I have ever worked with. We could not be happier with the outcome and will definitely be using Island life again on our next family vacation.
