Capturing your maternity journey
on Maui is an unforgettable way to celebrate this moment. With stunning beaches, cliffs, and lush, green backdrops, Maui has a setting for every style. Here are some tips to help you make the most of your session and take home photos you’ll treasure for years to come.
1. Catch the Golden Light at Sunrise or Sunset
The soft light at sunrise or sunset brings a dreamy quality to your photos. Early mornings offer a calm, quiet atmosphere, while sunset adds warmth and depth to the scene. This lighting flatters every skin tone and highlights Maui’s natural beauty, making your photos feel timeless.
2. Pick the Right Location for Your Style
Maui offers a wide range of stunning backdrops, from golden beaches and rugged cliffs to lush forests and scenic trails. For a classic tropical feel, a beach with soft sands and swaying palms provides a timeless look, while a cliffside with sweeping ocean views brings a dramatic and bold atmosphere. If you love greenery, Maui’s lush forests and coastal trails offer a jungle-like setting for a more intimate, enchanted vibe. Choosing a location that feels meaningful to you will make the session even more special and unique.
3. Wear a Comfortable, Flowing Outfit
Opt for a flowing dress that catches Maui’s breeze—it’s both comfortable and photogenic. Soft colors like pastels, whites, or ocean hues blend seamlessly with the island’s scenery, keeping the focus on you. Comfortable sandals or going barefoot can also add to the relaxed, natural feel of the photos.
4. Embrace Maui’s Natural Elements
A bit of wind, sand, and even splashes of ocean water can add to the authenticity of your photos. Bring sunscreen, a water bottle, and maybe a light cover-up if you’re out at sunrise when it’s cooler. Embracing these elements can bring a natural, effortless look to your photos that really reflects the Maui vibe.
5. Focus on Candid Moments
Rather than worrying about perfect poses, enjoy the moments , and let your photographer do the rest. A laugh, or a thoughtful look will bring genuine emotion to your photos, creating memories that feel authentic and heartfelt.
6. Add a Personal Touch
Bringing along a small, meaningful item—like a sonogram, a tiny pair of shoes, or a family keepsake—can add a unique touch to your photos. These details help tell your story and make your images even more special.
7. Work with a Local Maui Photographer
Having a photographer who knows the island makes a big difference. As a Maui-based photographer, I know the perfect spots, the best lighting, and how to help you feel comfortable and relaxed. With local expertise, your session will flow naturally, letting us capture Maui’s magic along with your story.
