Maui Kids Portraits - Raney & Hanson Keiki - by Maui Photographer Karma Hill

This is the third time I have had the pleasure of working with the Raney Family and the second time with the adorable Hansen Kiddos! These two families are the best of friends and they take an annual trip to Hawaii to relax and spend time in the sun! The families are from my home state of Washington, so I can appreciate the need to escape in the winter!! This time instead of meeting at the beach, I met them at their hotel and took advantage of the beautiful grounds for their Maui Kids Portraits.  It was great as the kids had more fun, not having to get in the car and drive and they had lots of room to run around! Usually dads are the least likely to want to be photographed. This shoot was a little different, the dads had a special request they surprised me with at the end of the shoot. They wanted a mini "Stepbrothers" inspired shoot. I have to admit as fun as it was, it was hard to take cheesy photos on purpose!! I had fun with the post editing, employing all my own pet peeves when it comes to portrait photography to create an awesome super adorable and cheesy result! Mahalo Raney and Hansen Families, it was so great to see you again!!

Kaitlyn & Co. - A Little girls dream shoot! by Maui Photographer Karma Hill

When Kaitlyn's mom first contacted Brooke, her email went something like... "I am wanting something fun, can I get more info on surfboards and ponies?" As soon as Brooke mentioned ponies, my ears perked up! I have been wanting to do a Pony shoot FOREVER. Melissa at Maui Ponies was kind enough to bring the ponies to us at the beach to surprise Kaitlyn during her photo shoot!! Seriously, good job mom and dad, way to make a photo shoot not only super fun, but something she will remember ALWAYS! Since this was one of my whimsical portrait packages, we had more time and planning and we were able to also incorporate balloons, floral headpieces and a surfboard. I put together a Pinterest pin board before the shoot to show them some of my ideas and then they let me know what worked and what didn't. It was great getting to collaborate with them before the shoot, and we were all very excited to see it come together! Thank you so much Deana, Kaitlyn and Jeff for choosing me to be your Maui photographer, and making the shoot so much FUN!
