Family Portraits on Maui

We are often asked, do you also do family portraits? Yes, we do! Most of our marketing over the years has been focused on our wedding photography on Maui, although we have been making portraits of families, couples and individuals. Have an need or an idea, ask Hughes Photographics!

Maui offers beautiful locations for portraits. I am partial, but enjoy photographing to the beaches of south Maui, Wailea and Makena and on the Big Island, Kona and the Waikaloa areas. What time of the day is best? I prefer the late afternoon and the minutes leading up to sunset. The timing is not difficult, whereas an early morning session may be. Morning sessions have a very different look, which may be preferable for some.

A fun portrait session is of a couple for whom we photographed their wedding in the past. And now they have a few kids and often, the parents we met years before are part of the session too.

Some of our clients want a casual look, which often results more natural and familiar expressions. This is very effective for individuals as well as couples and smaller groups.

For larger groups, my experience has been that a bit more structured style works out best. That means, a bit of posing is involved but it does not have to be boring!
