About Night Heron Imaging

I’m Bryan, the photographer behind Night Heron Imaging.

With a background in art, design, and analytics, I create images that look natural and perform online. Based in Kona, I focus on making the process easy and the results inspiring for realtors and hosts alike.

FAQ

What areas do you serve?

Primarily Kailua-Kona and nearby areas. Travel beyond that is available on request.

How long does a typical shoot take?

Condos: about 45–75 minutes. Homes: 60–120 minutes depending on size and scope.

When will I get my photos?

Standard turnaround is 24–48 hours. Rush options available when timing is tight.

What editing is included?

Color correction, exposure balance, straight verticals, and light retouching for a clean, natural look.

Do you offer aerials, twilights, or floor plans?

Yes — available as add-ons during booking.

Do I need to be present?

Not required. Access instructions can be provided in the order notes. I always welcome company if you’d like to be there during the shoot.

What’s with the bird?

The ʻaukuʻu, or Hawaiian night heron, is a patient, observant bird found along Kona’s shorelines. I named my business after it as a reminder that great photography comes from the same approach: waiting for the right light, the right angle, and capturing a moment with clarity.
