Aloha, I’m Loryn

I am here to share a legacy of love with others. I am a portrait photographer based out of Big Island, and I am passionate about creating a safe space for the ones I work with. I welcome all of you, and my mission is to guide you when you feel vulnerable, inspire you to feel beautiful, and let you express love for yourself and the ones you love most.

THE MEANING OF

KISMET PHOTOGRAPHY

The vision of Kismet Photography is one I have cared for and nurtured for many years. They say the things that are meant to find you will, and I believe this to be true to the core of my being. In many ways, Kismet has been my very own destiny; an expansion and co creation of love, & that is what I am here for.

Developing my own voice, style & charisma to carry through how I want to serve with my work, has been one of the greatest pleasures of my existence.

The more I could encourage others to love themselves, the more love I feel.

My appreciation goes beyond words to you. How can I serve you today?

Thank you, Loryn

KIND WORDS


  • Working with Loryn was the least stressful part of our trip planning process!

    Within 2 weeks we needed to change flights, accommodations, and trip itinerary for our 10 year wedding anniversary trip. We also wanted some pictures to commemorate this wedding milestone! Loryn got back to us right away with her availability during our visit to the Big Island. She stayed in contact with us about location options, weather and timing. We adjusted our timing with her slightly to have the smallest chance of rain. She immediately made us feel at ease as soon as we met her. She gave great input for posing and made my husband feel very comfortable even though he doesn't love getting pictures done. She was the best "hype woman" for us both and it was so fun to work with her. There was a sprinkling of rain during our shoot and Loryn found a spot for us to take cover and stay dry. She went above on beyond on spending extra time taking pictures and giving us more edited photos back than we expected! She also gave great local recommendations for where to eat and drink. We were so happy with all the photos she took and how quickly she was able to get them back to us. If you are on the Big Island and looking for professional pictures, look no further than Loryn!

  • We were BLOWN away by the photos we got from Loryn!

    My husband and I were visiting the Big Island and we got our photos done by Kismet Photography, and we are SO happy we did!! They're some of the very best photos we've ever had taken of us! Loryn made us feel so comfortable and it was SO FUN!! My husband doesn't really like to have his photos taken, but he said afterwards how fun it was!! I was so thankful! Loryn captured us in so many beautiful candids that really show how we interact together naturally! Oh and her edits are so beautiful and our jaw dropped when we saw them!! Thank you Loryn, you're the BEST!!!

  • Loryn is a genuinely sweet soul.

    She absolutely made my family and I feel very comfortable in front of the camera. She is professional, kind, and very down to earth. My family and I loved having her as our photographer, and if we could hire her again, we definitely would. It was a little trip to Kona for my husband’s work, so I decided to Google photographers in the area. Luckily, Loryn was the only one available for the time and date we needed. It was like she was meant to be our photographer. We are very appreciative for Loryn, and we loved how she was very calm, and already had the vision of where to shoot our photos. It was the perfect location, the perfect sunrise, the perfect day with Loryn. She is absolutely a gem!

  • Loryn is one of the kindest most genuine people we have ever met.

    She is passionate not only about her work, but she is passionate about serving her clients in a way that is true and natural to who they are and who she is. Loryn was such a delight to work with. Her abilities to connect with my husband and I made the entire process so special and one we will forever cherish. We can truly say meeting Loryn was a part of our Hawaii experience that touched our lives forever.

  • Loryn is a fantastic photographer.

    She has a natural ability to connect which helps bring the best out of her clients. She is professional at coaching clients to make them look and feel their best. The attention to detail in the editing shows in the final results. Loryn will always be my first choice for all future professional photography needs!

  • I am beyond thankful for Loryn and her ability to not only make us feel comfortable and happy, but the quality of her photos as well.

    The undeniable talent she possess behind the camera is only bolstered by the unapologetic passion she puts on full display for any and everyone she works with. Both me and my husband couldn’t have been happier with our engagement photos. Having grown up with a mother who made her living as a photographer, we constantly had to pose for the camera…needless to say, it go old fast and I must admit that even now I’ve come to dread taking any kind of photos; but not with Loryn. She address my concerns and made sure to progress in a way that didn’t feel controlled or inauthentic. That was an amazing feeling- and now I look forward to booking Loryn for any and all important life events in the future. I cannot wait to see how to she continues to grow and expand on her passion for the art!
