Maui Family Portraits
Thank you for your interest in having a family portrait while vacationing in Maui, Hawaii. Maui has many beautiful locations to choose from. The resort or condominium that you are staying at may be the perfect location.
What time of day is the best for your family portrait?
Early morning and sunset are the best times for portrait photography; each has its own unique characteristics, Bright greens and blues in the morning and warm and softer light at sunset. Please check for availability and rates for morning & sunset.
What kind of equipment do you shoot with?
I use the newest Nikon D3 Professional Digital SLR camera. I like the quality and flexibility it gives me when photographing groups and children. I can print up to 30x40 prints with excellent image quality. Photo retouching is included with all print orders.
How many photos are taken?
Depending on the size of the family or group, I take several combinations from large group photos to individual photos, with 2 to 3 backgrounds, approx. 300 images are taken for a single family.
When will the proofs be ready?
You will receive a photo CD and contact sheet usually by the same time next day. If not possible to meet with you I will mail it out to you within the week.
