2017 - A Year in Review with our Maui Photography Team

Wow what a year! It was so amazing it took us an entire month of reflection to take in all the awesomeness! We wanted to put together a look back on all our portraits to see all the pretty that happened this year. 

As we reflect upon the past year, we are humbled by the continued support of our fabulous clients. From amazing people that are new to our work, to the incredible people that return time and time again, we love creating a wonderful working relationship with the happy faces we are fortunate enough to meet. Whether it's a family vacation, Maui senior portraits or a couple's escape, we recognize the profound responsibility that comes along with being asked to freeze these moments in time. Days can be fleeting, but these precious memories can last forever through the art we strive to create. Thank you so much to every person that has a role in this work we love so much; clients, our team of talented photographers our "ohana" in our office - it takes a team. We are so grateful for the people we are blessed to work with, and the beaming beauties we are lucky enough to work for. THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!!

Thanks for a superb 2017 and cheers to an excellent upcoming 2018! Warm Aloha!!!

Maui Family Portraits with the Dionne Family!

The Dionne family is such a sweet and adorable little family that we had the pleasure of photographing last week! They were here on family vacation and decided to take family portraits in Maui! We happened to be available and honored they chose us! These two little ones are so darn precious it was so hard going through all the shots! There were so many outtakes of cuteness it was hard to handle. Mahalo Dionne family for choosing us for your Maui family portraits and thank you for filling our day with smiles!

A Maui Elopement for Breana & Tyson!

We just love Maui Elopements, they are so sweet and we get a chance to really connect with the couple, being their only guests! Breana and Tyson Eloped to Maui from Canada and were ready to go straight to honeymoon mode right after the wedding! We loved Breana's flower crown and flowing hair, it was so soft and romantic and the soft light of the cloudy evening added to that with their photography. Big Mahalo and Congrats to you both!!

Maui Family Portraits in the Valley!

The Bedwell family is from Texas and they already had beach family portraits so they were looking for something different.  We decided on the Iao Valley, it is a very lush area with streams that flow through and green towering mountains surrounding you.  We had fun exploring the park and picking out spots that the family liked.  They especially liked the bougainvillea plants and we found an amazing spot with both the bougainvillea plants and the mountains in the background! Mahalo Bedwell family for choosing me us as your Maui Photographers it was a joy to meet you!

Maui Couples Portraits with Meggan and Justin!

It was a chilly and windy morning at Baldwin beach as it tends to be sometimes, but you wouldn't know it from the pictures, these two are just projecting warmth and calm :) Meggan and Justin were celebrating Meggan's birthday with a trip to Maui and wanted to commemorate it with some fun Maui couples portraits on the beach.  I loved getting to meet this sweet Indiana couple and I hope to see them back in the future, maybe for some family portraits next time! :)

Customize Your Photo Shoot with Props! - Maui Beach Portrait Prop List by Karma Hill Photography

While we love our Maui portraits to be as natural as possible, sometimes the addition of one or two cute props can really make a photo session special, and some props double as ways to keep the kids happy and also look adorable in your photos!  Below you will see some of our available props that you can add to your portrait session, free of charge, as long as we have them available! Just let us know what you would like! If you don't see something you want, let us know we may be able to source it or rent it on Maui ( for an additional fee).  If you are looking for something REALLY special and styled just for you, say a romantic picnic on the beach, or a VW van with surfboards, let us know, we work the best in the industry when it comes to styling photo shoots and weddings on Maui! 

Sand shovels and buckets - This is a great way to keep little ones in one place and busy, they also look lovely in photos and can show a family interacting with each other playing in the sand. We ALWAYS have these available, in fact our photographers usually have them in their cars especially for Maui family portraits! 

Giant windmills (2) - we have one in coral and one in blue as well as several smaller windmills, kids love these and have a fun time letting them spin in the Maui trade winds. 

White Adirondack Chairs (2) - Fun and beachy and great for kids who do not like their toes in the sand.  Only available on beaches with easy access from a parking lot as they are too heavy to carry long distances.

Red and White Striped Beach Umbrella (1) - This bright and fun umbrella has a vintage feel and adds a fun pop of color to any beach session.

Teal Surfboard (1) whether or not you surf, this is a cute prop to incorporate into your photos! 

Beach Cruiser Bike (1) Adorable retro looking teal beach cruiser, fun for couples photos!

Vintage Radio Flyer Wagon (1) Kids love this wagon and it looks adorable in photos! If your portrait session takes you to a place where you can pull it it also makes for adorable action shots!
