Senior portraits · Maui

In short

Senior portraits in Maui starts at $395: 90 min on location with a photographer who works in Maui, and 40 edited photos delivered to a private gallery within 5 business days.

Why choose Senior portraits in Maui?

A senior portrait session on Maui is a 90-minute shoot across two or three locations that delivers 40 retouched photographs, priced from $395. A Maui senior usually wants one frame that could only be home: the north shore they surf, the upcountry road they drive to school, or the town where they work a summer job. The island makes that easy within 40 minutes of driving, and the one thing it complicates is the board.

Worth knowing about Maui

A surfboard is the prop Maui seniors most often bring, and it is the one the cheap beach permits exclude: the DLNR Wiki Permits terms list surfboards, windsurf boards and kayaks among the items barred from the permitted area, and the Hawaii Film Office’s $10 Open and Accessible ePermit allows no water activity. A board on the sand or in the water means a standard Hawaii Film Office permit, applied for at least seven working days ahead.

What does the session in Maui look like?

Hoʻokipa and the north shore
The surf-town frame most Maui seniors ask for, on a shoreline the State lists as a permittable site.
Pāʻia
Painted storefronts for the outfit change, a few minutes from the beach, so a second location costs no driving time.
Upcountry Kula
Pasture and eucalyptus at 3,000 feet for a third look that is cool, green and nothing like the coast.

FAQ — Senior portraits in Maui

Can a Maui senior portrait session include a surfboard?

Yes, with the right permit. The DLNR Wiki Permits beach permit bars surfboards, windsurf boards and kayaks from the permitted area, and the Hawaii Film Office Open and Accessible ePermit allows no water activity, so a Maui senior session with a board needs a standard Hawaii Film Office permit, applied for no later than seven working days before the shoot.

How many locations fit into a 90-minute senior session on Maui?

Three locations fit into a 90-minute Maui senior session when they sit on one side of the island, such as Hoʻokipa, Pāʻia town and the lower Kula slopes. Pairing the north shore with Kāʻanapali instead puts close to an hour of driving inside the session, which leaves room for two locations rather than three.
