Maui Photoshoot Packages

Emily was friendly and fun and we have so many photos that we LOVE! She also got our photos back to us SUPER fast...we had them in two days!! Thank you so much, Emily!-Brock & CherieView Photographer profile
The photoshoot was better than I could have hoped for. Emily was kind and constructive and really listened to what we were looking for in our engagement photos. As awkward as we may have felt having the spotlight on us, she made everything comfortable and captured beautiful, carefree photos. Our pictures were taken in Wailea and turned out great! Would highly recommend!-TaylorView Photographer profile
I booked a family photoshoot as a Mother's Day gift to my mom and Mollie did not disappoint!

I had never booked a photoshoot before, and Mollie helped me with the planning process from timing, location options, and explained lighting conditions.

And once we got to the beach, she literally climbed rocks in her bare feet in order to get shots of us! They turned out beautiful and her editing was *chef's kiss*.-VitaView Photographer profile
Gaylin is an amazing photographer. She is professional, friendly, and extremely talented!

My Toddlers did such an amazing job during the photoshoot with her! 10/10!!!!-ZianView Photographer profile
Lina was amazing! She quickly accommodated a change of venue because of the high wind and got us to a perfect spot for our photo session. She captured our group of 7 in many different groupings and managed to get the 4 and 1-year-old to cooperate beautifully. Two thumbs up, five stars, etc.-KarlaView Photographer profile
Gaylin is absolutely wonderful! We had her in Maui 2 years ago and I was so happy to have her again this trip. She is great with kids and making the photo shoot fun.

I love how our pictures turn out and being able to remember a great family trip. Next time we visit, I will hope to book Gaylin again!-AndreaView Photographer profile
Gaylin was amazing! We were able to keep in touch very easily and worked through a bad weather situation. Gaylin was fun and engaging as well.

We would definitely contact Gaylin again to be our photographer.-CherylView Photographer profile
Lina was amazing. All 4 of our kids loved her. She knew them each by name and was able to make them cooperate and laugh, and the quality of the photography was great.-FrankiView Photographer profile
Sierra was great to work with. She wasn't able to shoot our photos as she and her family were one of the many Lahaina wildfire victims. Her associate, Jonsi, did our shoot instead, and we absolutely loved our photos. Both Sierra and Jonsi were really great to work with.

I would definitely recommend Sierra and Jonsi to anyone looking for beautiful, light, airy-themed photos that capture tons of loving candid family moments. Jonsi did an absolutely wonderful job getting my 2-year-old daughter to smile and laugh during the entire shoot.-ChristineView Photographer profile
Amber is such an amazing photographer. We absolutely love our photos from our sunrise shoot. We completely trusted her with the location and poses, and do not regret it! She knows what she is doing and makes you feel very comfortable. We hope to book her again in the future when we’re back in Hawaii!-Somaira & FabienView Photographer profile
