    Fill out the contact form with your dates, session type, and vision. I'll get back to you within 24 hours.

    We'll align on location, timing, and vibe. A Pinterest board helps me understand your style.

    A $100 non-refundable deposit secures your date. Remaining balance is due on the day of the session.

  • 5. Your gallery

    Within 10–14 days your private online gallery is ready to download, print, and share. Extra images available at $10 each.

FAQs

  • Sunrise and sunset offer the most beautiful light. Sunrise sessions are peaceful, beaches are quiet and the light is soft. Sunset sessions are warmer and more dramatic. I'll help you choose based on your schedule and vision.

  • Maui weather changes fast, cloudy or moody conditions often create stunning images. I don't cancel unless conditions become unsafe. If needed, we'll find a new date together.

  • Absolutely. If you have a spot in mind, let me know. I'm also happy to suggest locations, from the cliffs of Kapalua to the shores of Wailea and the North Shore jungle.

  • Neutral and solid colors photograph beautifully. Avoid all-white in bright beach light. For families, pick 2 or 3 complementary colors. Barefoot is always perfect for beach sessions.

  • Within 10–14 days you'll receive a private online gallery with all edited high-resolution images, ready to download, print, and share. Extra images available at $10 each.

  • A $100 non-refundable deposit secures your session. Remaining balance due on the day. I accept Venmo, Zelle, PayPal, cash, and check.
