Maui Family Photo
How it works
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.

I came to Maui with my family and found Rick, and we couldn’t be happier. We had so much fun during our session. Beautiful location, a relaxed atmosphere, and amazing photos. Thank you, Rick! We highly recommend Squeeze The Light!

We feel so lucky to have found Rick! We had the whole family together and wanted to document the experience. A friend told us to call Rick. He was professional and immediately put everyone at ease, so we could look our best. Seriously, the photos came out magical. We have them framed and hanging all over the house. Our guests are always asking about our time on Maui!

We had a great experience with Ricky! He took us to a magic location on Maui and we are so happy with the photos he took of our family. Highly recommend and looking forward to another session next time we come to Maui!

Rick made the whole experience feel easy and natural from start to finish. My husband and I wanted photos that felt genuine instead of overly posed, and that’s exactly what we got. He knows Maui incredibly well and chose beautiful locations that fit the vibe we were looking for. Throughout the session, he made us feel comfortable, and the photos captured us in a way that felt authentic. We’re so happy with the final images and would absolutely recommend Squeeze The Light to anyone looking for thoughtful, high-quality photography on Maui.

Rick did a great job taking our flag designs from concept to reality. He designed the layout, sizing, and took images from the gallery to create a seamless intersection of our art and merch. He also helped create posters to tell the story of our artist Bo Bridges for the gallery window and marketing. He was responsive, fast and thorough.

Rick is incredibly thoughtful and detail-oriented in his work. He truly captured the essence of the moment and made our whole family feel comfortable from start to finish. At the same time, he gently guided us with lighting, movement, and the best angles, making the entire experience feel effortless. He photographed us in several beautiful locations, including the beach, the charming town of Maui, and at the top of the mountain. These are the best family photos we've ever had!
