I’m Kyle, the photographer behind Photos By Kyle, and I focus on relaxed family photo sessions here on Kauai. I’ve been working together with my dad, Davo, the owner of Photo Art By Davo for the past few years and together we bring over 30 years of experience photographing families.​

I was born in a suburb of Chicago, raised in Sweden, and now call Kauai home and I’m fluent in both English and Swedish.

Over time we’ve learned what matters most for family photos: keeping things easy, giving clear direction, and choosing locations with good light and safe, beautiful spots on the island.

Our goal is natural‑looking photos. During your session, We walk you through everything so you’re never wondering what to do with your hands or where to look.

We give simple, clear prompts to get genuine reactions, and we always show you a few photos on the back of the camera so you can see how things are looking as we go if you ask. Even though the true magic happens after the shoot when the edits are happening.

Sessions with us are relaxed, with a mix of lightly posed photos and natural, beautiful moments so you get images that feel like your family rather than stiff and formal portraits.

Whether you’re visiting Kauai or you live here on Kauai , it is an incredible place to photograph because the light and scenery change so quickly—one moment you have soft pastel skies, and the next you’ve got dramatic clouds and deep greens.

We are always watching the weather, tides, and crowd levels so we can adjust if needed and still end up with a spot that feels open and peaceful. I focus on locations that are safe for kids and easy to access, while still giving you that classic Kauai backdrop of ocean, mountains, or golden sand, We want your session to feel simple, quick, and worth it—something you can fit into your day without stress and still walk away with photos you’re excited to share and print.
