Q: What should we WEAR for our portrait session?
A: Wear something that makes you feel comfortable and confident. light colors with patterns, bold colors and accessories photograph really well. Feel free to get creative with your wardrobe.
Q: what locations do you use for portrait sessions?
A: Maui offers many beautiful locations for portrait sessions. The beaches on all sides of the island; Kihei, Wailea, Makena, North Shore Paia and the West side are great locations for early morning and sunset photo sessions. Upcountry Maui is beautiful for forests, views and greenery; great locations for little ones and usually good any time of the day depending on the weather. Your home is also a great family photo shoot location; some of the most treasured photos are often the candid ones in your home where you feel relaxed and comfortable.

Q: What happens after our portrait session?
A: I wholeheartedly want to give my clients the very best experience I can, and deliver their images quickly and efficiently. From each portrait session I give my clients a password protected online viewing gallery to share with family and friends. You will also receive a link to download all the high resolution jpeg images with full reprinting rights.
I would love to meet with you, whether it be over the phone, or via skype, to hear more about your idea for a portrait session, show you samples of our work and go over some of our pricing options.
Q: DO I HAVE TO ORDER PRINTS THROUGH YOU?
A: I highly recommend ordering prints through our professional vendors, but it is not required. The difference in quality is huge when it comes to ordering through a professional lab, so I encourage clients to let me help with prints! I also offer some beautiful fine art products that compliment your wedding or portrait session perfectly.

A: I use all of the latest canon equipment. I always carry the 5DS, the mark ii, 50 mm lens, 35 mm lens, & the 20 mm lens, among other items.

All photos are shot in the RAW file format then carefully edited, optimized and enhanced.
