Set in Makawao, the Maui 60 Minute Photoshoot is a compact, professional session tailored for families, couples, maternity, seniors and individual portraits. The hour‑long shoot is timed to exploit the island’s softer light—sunrise for cooler yellow, pink and blue tones and reduced crowds, or sunset for stronger, more vibrant colors—while a guide from Lokahi Photography leads posing and composition so you can focus on being present in the moment.

The shoot is limited to one location and lasts one hour, guided the whole way by a professional photographer who helps create natural poses and a comfortable atmosphere for groups up to the stated limit.

THE DELIVERABLES

60 Edited High‑Resolution Images and an Online Gallery

You receive 60 professionally edited, high‑resolution digital images delivered via a private online gallery, with options to download, share and purchase prints or albums; final galleries are provided within a defined delivery window unless expedited service is purchased.

What the day feels like

What the Hour Feels Like

The session moves deliberately: a brief greeting with your photographer, a guided hour of staged and candid images at a single Makawao location, and a wrap with information on viewing and downloading your images. Throughout the shoot the photographer cues poses, adapts to light and wind, and helps keep young children or groups relaxed so the hour yields a cohesive set of portraits.
