Kristy M.

We had a trip planned to Maui, and it happened to be perfect timing for prime maternity photos. Since I have a toddler, I needed to find someone who was comfortable working with families, too. I thought I'd just look and see if I could find anything that I might like. As soon as I stumbled upon Love + Water Photography, I knew I had to schedule a session! Shawn and Adam made everything so easy: from planning what to wear, planning where to eat, deciding which package would suit our needs--they had answers for everything. When we arrived for photos, my toddler decided that she hates sand. She was terrified of it. Did it throw Adam off? Absolutely not! He still took stunning family photos that we will cherish for a lifetime. I was expecting the photos to arrive in 4 weeks, but Shawn and Adam underpromised and overdelivered. Our fully edited, absolutely stunning photos were ready in less than 2 full weeks! The experience was wholly positive, and I highly recommend booking a session with Love + Water Photography if you're in the area!

We are so happy with our entire experience with Love and Water!!! The communication before, during, and after the shoot was great and Shawn and Adam are just fantastic! And, of course, the photos are beautiful. I am very self-conscious about unflattering angles and Adam did such a great job of posing us to avoid those angles. When I saw their dreamy photos on Instagram I knew we had to do a shoot with them and I am so happy we did. I highly highly recommend them if you want the most beautiful photos ever!!!

Love and Water has photographed our growing family three times in the last eight years. We love supporting this family business and can't wait for our next session in the future. There's no better souvenir from our family vacation each time than these priceless portraits. The photos we receive after every session are absolute treasures....I love the editing style and the soft lighting at sunset. Maui Magic. Love and Water is the best photographer on Maui. From booking to album delivery is seamless.

My family and I were in Maui for a family vacation in August 2021. My husband had a brilliant idea to get family photos taken while we were there, to document our first family vacation since our 2nd child was born. The whole process was really easy and straight forward. I found Love and Water Photography on Yelp and just loved Adam/Shawn's style. So i knew it would perfect. Shawn was super responsive in emails and Adam was great at capturing our family. It is really difficult getting a toddler and a baby to focus but Adam was very go with the flow and just captured us candidly without much posing, which again is so hard to do, with a toddler who is captivated with the ocean and a baby who wound up eating sand (captured). Would totally recommend to anyone who wants to invest in amazing quality family photos!

Shawn and Adam are the dream team when it comes to professional photography. They work absolute magic with a lens! I recently hired Love + Water to shoot my maternity photos during a babymoon in Maui and I could not be happier with the results. I've worked with many photographers and not only did Adam make the process feel super easy and comfortable, but the images turned out even better than I had anticipated. And even though the delivery estimate was 2-4 weeks, I got them back in just a week! I cannot recommend Love + Water enough for any type of special occasion photography.

I am SO picky when it comes to finding a photographer. When you're spending the time and money to capture memories that will last your lifetime, it should be art (especially if you want to hang it on your walls), at least for me. And I absolutely adored the dreamy look of Love+Water's final pieces. Husband and I went on our belated honeymoon and we never got to do an engagement shoot or a real wedding due to COVID, so I really wanted our honeymoon shoot to be special. Shawn and Adam REALLY delivered. Shawn is SO responsive, kind, and accommodating. She really streamlines the process and makes it as painless as possible for you. Her edits are amazing! When we got our photos back, I definitely cried (happy tears!) and my husband already wants us to book for a future babymoon (which is totally unlike him). I was so worried I ruined our photos because I can be SO awkward, but they came out wonderful. I am so grateful for Shawn and Adam. Would definitely recommend booking them on your next Hawaii trip!

I have worked with Love and Water Photography several times, including ocean and pool shoots. Each time has been amazing, with Shawn and Adam both making me feel comfortable and at ease, providing easy directions which I've found hard in photographers. The shots turned out better than I could have hoped for, now I just have to wait to get married to get more! Thanks guys for being so amazing, your truly talented and the nicest people I have met!

Cynthia L Photography - Maternity and Family sunset beach portrait session

I truly don't have enough amazing things to say about Cynthia and her incredible work. We take…read morefamily photos every single year, so we have high expectations and are pretty experienced at this. I am usually very happy with how our photos turn out, but the images Cynthia captured are hands-down the best family photos we have ever had. When we knew we would be in Maui this fall, I was determined to have our family photos done there. After searching Yelp and reviewing photographers, I came across Cynthia's work and immediately fell in love with her style. I reached out for a quote and she responded the very next day. From the start, she was friendly, informative, and incredibly easy to work with. Once we booked, she sent several location options, and we chose Napili Bay. It ended up being the perfect spot for our family. On the day of the shoot, Cynthia was warm, kind, and so much fun to work with. She made the entire experience feel relaxed and effortless, and she was especially wonderful with our nine-year-old son, easily coaxing genuine smiles and making him feel comfortable the whole time. The final photos absolutely blew us away. Not only are they stunning, natural, and full of personality, but Cynthia also went back into the images and removed strangers from the beach so it looked like we had the entire beach to ourselves. On top of that, we received all of the digital images to keep, which was such a huge bonus. She was also super affordable, even by Hawaii standards, and truly worth every penny. If you are considering booking a photo session in Hawaii, do yourself a favor and book Cynthia. You will not regret it. We will treasure these photos forever.

We loved our photo session with Cynthia! We met at Kapalua bay for sunset photos of our big…read morefamily, and she was great at setting us up for different shots with very little fuss. Super friendly and professional, she made everyone feel comfortable with the session. She was great with the litte kids, too. We are very happy with the final product, which arrived quickly, in a great format. We also really appreciate the USB with high res photos so we can order our own larger photos! Highly recommended!

Frank was very personable and instantly made everyone feel comfortable. We booked him for a family session, but he even took a few maternity photos for me and coordinated a surprise engagement! The photos that we received were incredible! We are beyond satisfied with the results and I have no idea how to choose which photos we use in our home. I am already thinking of reasons to go back to Maui so I can work with him again. Worth every penny!

The Best Family Photo Experience on Maui -- with the Amazing Lisa Bernasek!…read more Family photo sessions usually fall somewhere between "mildly painful" and "please, make it stop." But our time with Lisa Bernasek completely flipped that script. From the moment we met her on the beach, she put us at ease -- no stiff poses, no forced smiles, just genuine laughter, ocean breezes, and that Maui magic. Lisa somehow managed to capture our family exactly as we are -- joyful, goofy, and (thanks to her direction) surprisingly photogenic! Even my husband, who typically treats photo sessions like a root canal, admitted he actually had fun. That's saying something. The photos turned out beyond stunning -- vibrant, natural, and full of the aloha spirit. Every shot feels like a little time capsule from our trip, filled with the warmth and beauty of Maui. If you want photos that truly capture the feeling of your time on the island -- not just what you looked like -- do yourself a favor and book with Lisa. She's a true artist, an absolute professional, and just a lovely human. Mahalo, Lisa, for giving us memories we'll treasure forever!

We could not have asked for a better photographer for our elopement at Four Seasons Resort Lānaʻi…read more From start to finish, Anna was absolutely incredible. She immediately put us at ease and made the entire experience feel effortless, natural, and genuinely joyful. Eloping can feel intimate and emotional, and she struck the perfect balance of being calming, professional, and wonderfully warm--never intrusive, but always exactly where she needed to be. Her eye for light, scenery, and candid moments is exceptional. She captured not just beautiful images, but the feeling of the day--the love, the excitement, the quiet moments, and the magic of Lānaʻi itself. Every photo feels authentic and timeless, not staged or forced. Beyond her talent, she was organized, responsive, and such a pleasure to work with. We felt completely confident trusting her with one of the most important days of our lives--and she exceeded every expectation. If you are considering her for an elopement or wedding, don't hesitate. She is truly exceptional, and we will treasure these photos forever.

The final output was gorgeous and she took a plethora of photos so that we had lots to look through when we received the final digital images.

Anyhow we now have many photos that captured the beach, sunset, food and drink, smiling attendees, and our lovely wedding day. Thank you Anna!
