Planning a photoshoot on Maui’s beaches is exciting, but the big question always comes up: what should we wear? The right outfits not only make you feel confident, they also bring out the island’s natural colors and help your photos shine.




Choose Colors That Complement Maui’s Beauty
Neutral tones, pastels, and soft earth colors work beautifully against the blue ocean and golden sand. Think ivory, light blues, soft greens, or blush pinks. Bright neon shades can reflect harshly on the skin, so it’s best to avoid them.



Flowy and Comfortable Fabrics
Maui often has a soft breeze — and flowy fabrics capture it perfectly in photos. Maxi dresses, skirts, or linen shirts create natural movement that looks amazing on camera. Lightweight cotton and linen also keep you comfortable in the warm island weather.




Keep It Simple and Timeless
Simple patterns and solid colors photograph best. Small busy prints or logos can be distracting. Remember, these photos will be keepsakes for years to come — timeless always beats trendy.



Coordinating, Not Matching
For families or couples, choose a color palette and let everyone coordinate around it. For example: mom in a flowy cream dress, dad in a light blue button-up, kids in soft greens or khaki. This way, you look cohesive without being overly matchy.




What to Wear – Barefoot or Sandals
Most of our sessions are on the beach, so barefoot is always a great choice — it keeps things natural and relaxed. If you prefer shoes, simple sandals are best.

Special Tip: The Flying Dress Look
For something bold and dramatic, consider our flying dress sessions. The long, flowing gowns create incredible movement and an unforgettable style against Maui’s ocean and cliffs.



What to Wear – Final Tip
At the end of the day, comfort is key. Choose outfits that make you feel like your best self. When you feel good, it always shows in the photos.
