As Maui family photographers, and parents, family photos are important to us. We understand how fleeting time can feel with young kiddos at home and how quickly they change and grow. If you’re considering family photos or have booked family photos in Maui and are trying to plan what to wear, you’ve come to the right place! While planning these sessions, it can feel like there is a ton of pressure to be just ‘right’. However, as your photographer, I’m here to help guide you when choosing what to wear for Maui family photos—making the whole experience much easier and more enjoyable!

When in Doubt, Stick to Neutrals

Whether you’re visiting Maui with your family or living here year-round, you’ll want to showcase the island’s beauty. While planning your outfits, you can wear clothing and colors that enhance the location. The most important tip I share with clients is to stick to neutrals. While it may seem too simple, it’s the best way to let your family and the location shine. Bright colors and patterns can often detract from the scenery and make the photos seem busy. Sticking with neutrals allows for a peaceful and dreamy family photograph that can be enjoyed for years.

Ask Your Maui Family Photographer About What to Wear For Maui Family Photos

Throughout my years living on the island and as a photographer, I’ve worked with hundreds of families planning their Maui family photos. I’ve helped plan outfits countless times and love to do it. Don’t stress about finding the perfect outfits—ask your photographer! One of the perks of hiring our team is that you’ll have access to us to plan your session from beginning to end. That includes preparing your outfits. Living on the island has given us unique knowledge of what to wear and what colors look best at certain times of the day. Because of this, we can help fine-tune and help clients find the best look for their session.

One of my favorite parts of being asked to help with outfits is sending over outfit inspiration! Sometimes, you already have exactly what you need in your closet, and it’s just a matter of being reminded of it. If you’re feeling stuck planning what to wear for Maui family photos, reach out, and let’s figure it out together.

Wear What Makes You Feel Confident

Lastly and most importantly, wear what makes you feel confident and excited about the family photos. These are treasured moments that will be captured and reflected on for years. The last thing you want to worry about is hating your appearance in these memories. Figure out what makes you feel the most confident and beautiful, and plan for everyone else around you. Enjoying the moment and feeling good is something you’ll never forget.
