Family sessions are our bread and butter — and with over 700 five-star reviews, we've got the track record to prove it.

Frank and Lisa have spent years perfecting the art of photographing families on Maui's beaches. They know how to keep kids engaged, how to wrangle a group of 8 without it feeling like a military operation, and most importantly — how to capture the real moments that happen in between the posed ones.

Clients consistently tell us it was the best part of their Maui trip. That's what we're going for every single time.

Based in Lahaina, we know every beautiful stretch of beach on this island. We'll take care of the location, the light, and the direction — you just show up and enjoy it.

Frequently asked questions

We recommend you wear clothing you feel comfortable and confident wearing. Wear easy to slip off foot ware(flipflops/sandles). Avoid multiple patterns as they can compete with one another. Pastels (coral, pinks, lavender, and blues photograph well. Whites and creams are also a popular choice. Please be mindful of any clothing that might feel uncomfortable after 30 minutes of activity on the beach — you want everyone relaxed and happy so it shows in the photos.
You can book the session yourself on our website where our online booking calendar is live for your convenience. You are welcome to contact us via phone or email and we can book on your behalf.

Things to know

Location

Maui offers some of the best scenery around. If you’re looking for beaches or beautiful jungle areas, Maui has them! Kapalua Bay and Baby Beach Lahaina are some of my favorite spots. Think of places that speak to your personalities best, and are accessible to everyone involved.

Timing

Evening light is the golden hour when photos of people are at their best. I try to schedule all sessions either early in the morning or an hour before sunset (taking into account your kids’ nap and meal times).

Preparation

To avoid last-minute stress, make sure to pick out all family outfits and props well in advance. If your outfits are new, make sure your kids have a chance to wear them a couple of times before the day so they’ll be comfortable during the shoot.

It’s All in the Details

Your clothing selection and choice of location will make the biggest difference in the final look and feel of your photos! Feel free to message me with photos/ideas/questions about what will look best for photos.

Wardrobe Tips

Don’t Match, Coordinate Pick a color combination for your family to work within. We don’t want everyone to match perfectly, but we also don’t want everyone wearing different colors and patterns that clash. Don’t Be Too Seasonal While the idea of outfits for the season may be appealing, our aim is to produce photos that you can use / display in your home year-round. Unless you live in the North Pole, Christmas only works once a year. Avoid Clashing Patterns Go for earth tones, textures, and solid colors. These are the most classic and timeless and will guarantee your outfits are still in style a year from now (rather than a trend). Consider layering clothing for more visual interest and movement. Fitted = Best While flowy articles of clothing can be fun and create movement, in general, opt for fitted clothing over baggy jeans and loose fitting shirts. Comfort Over Everything! We want your session to be fun and enjoyable for everyone involved. If your kids’ clothing is uncomfortable for them to wear, it won’t be nearly as fun, and their discomfort may show in the photos. If you’re planning on wearing new outfits, I’d suggest ‘breaking them in’ a few days in advance to get used to the feeling of wearing those clothes.

This was the best experience ever. I was hoping for at least one good photo. We got so many beautiful pictures, thanks to Frank. He is super nice, makes you feel very comfortable and that resulted in us getting several absolutely beautiful photos. I will tell you, you will not be…

Frank was an excellent photographer! He was friendly, fun, patient and gave great direction. My kids who hate taking family photos enjoyed the photo shoot and would gladly take photos in the future as long as we use Frank!

Maui Package

Our most popular session for families visiting Maui. One full hour gives us time to explore the beach, capture group shots, individual portraits, and all the candid in-between moments that make your photos feel real. Perfect for families of 8 to 12. This is our go-to session for medium-sized families and multigenerational groups who want more than just a quick snapshot. A full hour means we can cover the whole group together, smaller family units, the kids on their own, grandparents with grandkids — all the combinations that matter — without anyone feeling rushed. Frank and Lisa are experts at managing bigger groups and keeping the energy fun and relaxed throughout. They know exactly how to position everyone for the best light, how to get natural smiles out of even the most camera-shy family members, and how to move efficiently so you get maximum variety from your session. You'll receive 80–100 professionally edited images and a 4K downloadable slideshow delivered to an online gallery, ready to download and share with the whole family. Perfect for: multigenerational families, larger family groups of 8–12, family reunions, and milestone vacations in Maui.

Our Ohana Package is designed for large groups of 13 to 20. We'll spend 90 minutes capturing everyone — from the grandparents to the littlest ones — across multiple setups so nobody gets left out of the frame. If you're bringing 13 to 20 people to Maui, this is the session that does your group justice. At 90 minutes, you have plenty of time to capture the full group, every family unit within it, the grandparents, the cousins, the kids on their own — all the combinations that make a big family trip worth remembering. Frank and Lisa have extensive experience photographing large extended families and groups on Maui's beaches. They know how to move a big group efficiently, keep the energy fun (not chaotic), and still find the quiet, genuine moments that make a photo gallery truly special. You'll receive 100–130 professionally edited images and a 4K downloadable slideshow — more than enough to share with every branch of the family tree. Perfect for: extended family reunions, multigenerational vacations, large family milestones, and any group of 13 to 20 visiting Maui who wants professional photos to remember the trip by.
