If you’re still deciding on the right setting, here’s how I approach location on Maui.

Maui Maternity Photo Locations

As a Maui maternity photographer, I photograph sessions across the island’s most beautiful and varied landscapes. Each location is chosen based on light, season, and the overall feel you want from your photos.

Calm Secluded Beaches

I shoot at select beaches in Wailea, Makena, and the North Shore.  These locations feel sheltered and calm. There’s space to move around, and nothing distracting from the two of you. Perfect for that dreamy, golden-hour Maui beach maternity look.

Lush Jungle &
Waterfalls

Honolua Bay, Iao Valley, and select Haiku locations offer a completely different setting—dense tropical rainforest, filtered light, and a more wild look.
Perfect for down-to-earth or even vibrant editorial maternity photos. 

Black Sand &
Lava Coast

The lava coastline at La Perouse and select black sand beaches create a dramatic look—dark volcanic textures, deep contrast, and a setting that’s unique.
It’s a bolder, more editorial direction that's especially striking with intentional styling and movement.

Tropical Gardens &
Upcountry Views

In Upcountry Maui and select garden locations, the landscape is softer and more romantic, with sweeping views, gentle light, and flowers blooming year-round.
Perfect for a soft romantic, or boldly tropical maternity look
