The end of the year is the season for family portraits on Maui, and Masie + family’s beach session was nothing short of perfection!

I remember exchanging e-mails with Tashina when we were preparing to move back to Maui in October after spending just 10 weeks away. It was such a whirlwind, those few weeks, and delivering this session makes me realize even more that we made the right decision returning to Maui with our family to stay. These […]

I don’t want to stare at a camera and smile, so why would we expect this of this kids?! Letting them run free at the beach is when the most authentic smiles happen, and Jennifer’s family beach session on Maui was no exception!

I remember the day we brought home our first born. He was soft, tiny, warm. The lady handed him to us in a parking lot and said, “do you want him?” “Yes, of course!” I said, arms outstretched, placing cradling him against my chest. It was Marley, and I miss him. We got to photograph […]

Our favorite thing about this session? Hard to choose! The cutest baby, sunrise colors, the way Esther’s dress color pops against the morning sky? Check out a preview of this beautiful sunrise Maui family portrait session below!

How good is it, as photographers, to have the chance to capture a person or couple’s most important milestones? It really is a privilege, and one we feel fortunate to call our job. Mia + Adam were married two years ago at Merriman’s in Kapalua on Maui, and we photographed the trash the dress and, […]

Three days in a row I’ve had goosebumps looking at the sky. At sunset, the way the light dances on the water and the waves crash or tiptoe along the shoreline. The whoop of guests onboard a boat just offshore witnessing their first breaching whale. But we’ll let you in on a little secret… when […]

We first photographed Francesca pregnant with the boy you see below running on the beach! She and her family are expecting a new addition soon, and we were treated to the most fantastic Maui sunrise and tidal reflections for her second maternity session!

When this family first contacted us for their portrait session, we photographed them at Kapalua Bay in November 2014, and the little girl you see here was wearing the same blue pants as her baby brother. It’s such an honor to capture a family year after year and see how they evolve. We’re lucky that […]

When clients visit us year after year for their family’s portraits it’s not only the ultimate compliment but amazing to see how their family has grown and evolved. Emily + family came to Maui again this year, and it was a pleasure to meet them again at sunrise for beach portraits to document their continuing […]

Sunset, one of the most beautiful times of day, especially on Maui! It’s also the perfect time to take a dip, or perhaps just go ahead and throw yourself and your family into the shore break and see what happens? Check out a fun few from our sunset beach portrait session with Brittany and her […]

A broken arm didn’t break the spirit of this young family for their sunset family portrait session! Check out a preview below of our beautiful afternoon by the ocean. Thank you Hillary + family for choosing Love + Water to capture your portraits on Maui!

We first photographed Mandy + David when the couple eloped on Maui in 2017. Two years later we found ourselves photographing their young family, having just moved to the island and celebrating their daughter’s first birthday. It’s a pleasure to watch our clients’ families grow and evolve, thank you Mandy + David for choosing us […]

We love family beach portraits – who doesn’t? But we always want to make them extra special with an element of water portraiture and drone photography. Check out this fun family and maternity session below!

This sunset family portrait at the beach has all the elements we dream up – a walk on the beach, a splash in the water… a casual wave from Owen Wilson? Doesn’t hurt I guess to throw a sly celebrity encounter into our beach portrait packages, we like to go a bit extra at Love […]

We photographed Brooke + family last year when she was pregnant with their second child – getting to see a family grow with shoots year after year is such a privilege! Thank you guys for choosing us to photograph your sessions on Maui!

And the award for most cheerful sunrise baby goes tooooo…! This sweet family’s session was a beautiful way to start the day!

When we arrived at our session location for Teann’s family portrait, we were met with a random rain storm that wasn’t showing up on the radar. So, we took advantage of Maui’s amazing micro climates and headed a few minutes down the road. We were met with not only beautiful light and an empty beach, […]

Tara + family joined us for a beautiful family portrait session at sunset – check out a preview of our afternoon together below!
