Maui Family Portrait Pricing

 

When considering Maui family portrait pricing, there is never anything more special than capturing your family moments through the eye of a camera; one that will leave lasting memories for all to cherish. Since each family has different expectations when it comes to photography, we charge an image fee, rather than limiting you into choosing a preset package. We then edit the images in Photoshop and provide you with a DVD to take home.

Every Package Includes

  • Every package includes the first 30 minutes of travel time. Anything beyond 30 minutes will include an additional charge of $75. (Hana and West Side are excluded. See below under “Travel Notes” for information on these two locations).
  • Free on-line viewing gallery with a private password for you, your friends and family to view.
  • The option to purchase additional images directly from the on-line store on the Behind The Lens Maui website.

 

Travel Notes

  • Any photos shot on the Hana side will include an additional $200. fee.
  • Any photos shot on the West side will include an additional $25. Fee.

Taking photos of your baby

Nov 13

Taking pictures of your new baby is a great way to preserve life long memories. Baby pictures can also make great postcards, keepsakes, or baby shower gifts. Here are some simple tips to get great baby pictures:

1) Avoid bright light – Babies are especially sensitive to bright light including harsh sunlight and flash photography. If possible, try to take photos during the day when flash photography is not necessary. You can also use lamps to create lighting.

2) Take pictures from different distances – Try to take pictures from different distances. Most people like to take close-up pictures, but pictures that are too close can be blurry and out of focus. By taking several pictures from different distances, you can keep the ones that are the best.

3) Be aware of your baby’s mood – Try not to start a photo session when your baby is cranky or crying. If your baby is in a bad mood, then wait awhile until he or she is better rested or calmed. You will get better pictures when your baby is in good spirits.

4) Use a high quality camera and film – This tip may seem simple, but is worth saying. Using high quality cameras and film can make a big difference in the quality of the photo, especially if you are creating photo gifts or favors.

5) Get rid of any distractions – Make sure there are not too many distractions when taking pictures. Anything that moves or makes noise, like the TV, should be turned off is possible. Having too many people around can also be distracting for the baby.
