• Black & White Fine Art Portraits – captured with expert artistry

All sessions are designed for clients who value quality, exclusivity, and enduring beauty.

Portraits are captured in Wailea, Makena, and South Maui, using private, scenic locations optimized for cinematic light. Every location is selected to provide privacy, elegance, and natural beauty, ensuring each portrait is unique and intimate.

Because we maintain limited availability to ensure every session is fully curated, we recommend scheduling as early as possible.

We advise elegant, timeless wardrobe choices that complement the natural environment.

• Soft, muted tones and pastels photograph beautifully

• Avoid bright neon colors or busy patterns

• Coordinated, not matching outfits, maintain a luxury aesthetic

  Our team provides wardrobe guidance to ensure every detail supports the cinematic and refined style of your session.

Unlike in-house hotel photographers, Wailea Portrait™ offers a fully independent, bespoke experience.

• Sessions are private and fully curated to each client’s vision

• Focus is on authentic moments and cinematic artistry, not high-volume snapshots

• Clients receive personalized guidance, exclusive locations, and luxury-quality imagery

• Professional lighting equipment such as softboxes and dual lighting like a movie set.

Sessions typically are an hour, depending on the type and complexity of the portrait experience. Each session is structured to maximize cinematic lighting while allowing clients to relax and enjoy the process.

• A private, bespoke session with a professional portrait artist

• Location selection, planning, and consultation

• Post-session editing with cinematic and fine art quality

• Digital gallery with high-resolution images for print and display

• Optional fine art prints or albums for clients seeking a full luxury presentation

Absolutely. Our clients are visiting Maui for private, exclusive portrait experiences, and often request sessions that combine luxury, privacy, and cinematic artistry. Wailea Portrait™ caters to families, couples, and individuals who value exceptional quality and timeless imagery.
