Body Types:
It’s important to acknowledge that body perception can vary widely in photography, and many people experience concerns about how they may look in photos. As professional photographers, our goal is to create the most flattering images possible while enhancing your natural beauty.
Please keep in mind that angles, lighting, and poses can significantly influence the final outcome of your photographs. While it is a common belief that photos can add an extra 10 pounds, we strive to use our skills to minimize any areas of concern you may have. We'll work with you to find the best angles and poses that highlight your favorite features while downplaying those you're less confident about.
Some aspects may be more challenging to conceal than others, but effective communication with us will allow us to tailor the shoot to your comfort level. We encourage you to express your preferences and concerns, so we can collaborate to achieve the best possible results. Remember, every body is unique, and our commitment is to make you feel confident and beautiful in front of the camera.
Photo Color/Tone:
Please keep in mind that everyone has their preferences when it comes to editing. Also note, not all photo sessions are the same even at the same location and time. Every session has different lighting, weather conditions, sun light angles, color of the day, etc. However, we will do our best to meet your expectations, but if require any adjustments, please feel free to communicate your preferences to the photographer.
Understanding the differences of lighting throughout the day from sunrise, midday, sunset, vs cloudy photo shoot:
Capturing photos at different times of the day can dramatically affect the mood and quality of your images. Sunrise offers soft, warm light that creates a serene atmosphere, perfect for portraits. Midday light is bright and harsh, which can lead to strong shadows but is great for vibrant colors. Sunset provides a golden glow, adding depth and warmth to your photos, while cloudy days offer diffused light, ideal for even tones and softer contrasts. Each time frame has its unique charm, making it essential to choose the right moment for your shoot.
Weather:
Maui's weather can be quite unpredictable, with varying conditions across different locations. While it may be sunny in one area, another could be experiencing rain. Rest assured, we will do our best to adapt to whatever nature presents us. As mentioned, if it rains or a natural disaster occurs, you will receive a full refund. Otherwise, we will proceed with the photo shoot, or you have the option to reschedule if we have availability.
Wind:
Discover the beauty of Maui, one of the windiest islands in Hawaii! While some beaches experience less wind than others, we’ll guide you to the best spots for a more enjoyable experience. Mornings are typically calmer, making them ideal for your photo shoot day. If the wind picks up, we’ll choose angles that minimize its impact, ensuring you capture stunning photos, with careful editing to enhance your look when necessary.
Poses:
We specialize in capturing a wide variety of poses, from candid moments to playful beach scenes. Feel free to request your own unique poses, and let us know if there are any you’d to avoid. Our goal is to create cherished memories that reflect your vision and personality!
Like or don't like:
Please let the photographer know what you like and don’t like so the photographer is aware.

If you could do some research online to find the type of poses or tone of the photos you love and send them to the photographer so we have ideas of what you like, this would be very helpful.
