Do’s
Keep It Classic: Choose timeless, polished attire that complements Maui’s natural beauty. For men, a polo-style collared shirt or a simple aloha shirt adds a touch of sophistication. Solid colors and soft pastels blend beautifully with the island’s scenic backdrop.
Light and Airy: For women, opt for light, flowy dresses that create beautiful movement and add an elegant touch to your photos, perfectly complementing Maui’s natural beauty.
Neutral Tones: Earthy and neutral tones blend with the natural surroundings, creating a simple and beautiful look.
Prepare for a Splash of Fun: Our photo sessions are full of sand and often include playful moments by the water. Wear something you're comfortable getting a little wet in, as I love capturing those spontaneous, joyful moments.
Don’ts:
Avoid Loud Prints: Loud patterns or clothing with large logos can distract from the focal point of the image which is your family. Opt for simple and understated designs to maintain the focus on your loved ones.
Say No to T-shirts and Gym Shorts: Although t-shirts and gym shorts are comfortable, they may not provide the polished, timeless look you're envisioning for your family photos. For a more refined and elegant appearance, consider wearing dressier clothing.
Skip the Accessories: Remove items like room key wristbands, hair ties, and sports watches to maintain a clean look. Choosing minimal accessories ensures the focus remains on the real moments being captured during your photo session.
Avoid Wearing White: I ask all my clients to void wearing white for the photo session, as it reflects sunlight and can make it difficult to capture clear, well-balanced images.
