What to expect from your Maui portraits with Love + Water
What to expect from a shoot with Love + Water Photography
Hint: You're going to enjoy the process!
What you see isn't always what you get - often, what you get is even better!
You're investing in expert edits
When we return from your session, images are culled and left behind are the strongest contenders for your finished gallery. You might think you want as many images as possible from your session, but believe us, when it comes to photography it's quality, not quantity - we have an eye for what works best, and the images you receive are going to each be worthy of a spot on your wall!
We spend the majority of our time post-processing, editing each image to suit the tones and style you see on our website. We remove visible acne, sunburns and more and provide advanced edits as part of your portrait investment.
enhancing Color brings images to life
If you've ever witnessed the delicate beauty of a Maui sunrise, you'd know the pastel tones illuminating the sky are very, very real. When processing your images we do our best to maintain the reality of your morning or sunset session and opt to enhance the natural beauty of your surroundings rather than fabricate it.
The skies you see are real - Maui really is that beautiful and we do our best to pay testament to the island's vibrant colors when editing the imagery from your beach portrait session.
"The image quality is superb and diverse, their communication unmatched."
- Sara

Our COVID-19 Policy
travel safe, don't stress!
In March of 2020, our entire world was turned upside down. We received nearly 100 portrait cancellations, and the months that followed saw us in some of the darkest days our business has endured. During the COVID lockdown we did the "pivot" to e-commerce, launching The Land + Sea Store and focusing on pure survival. During the last several months we've comes to terms with great loss on many levels and have regained traction. We appreciate your support of our family's business, as your patronage has seen us through what we hope is the most difficult stage in our professional and personal lives.
2020 was a tough year on everyone, and as small business owners, your commitment to quality and support of our passion means the world to us. Thank you for choosing us.
You're the reason we will continue to thrive - thank you.
As fully licensed and insured photographers, we have our bases covered.
We're readily available via e-mail to provide advice prior to your shoot.
We answer all e-mails within 24 business hours, usually less.
We will happily provide recommendations for our favorite suppliers on island!
Water portraits are fun - and they're the foundation of our business!
We provide thorough edits to every image - every time.
Your business is our passion.
Do we click?
We strive to capture connection over perfection.
The beauty of beach and water portraiture is that you're in an environement that allows for relaxation and the perfect opportunity to allow you to be yourselves. Embrace moments as they come, and we'll take care of the rest.
