Behind The Lens

AMANDA EMMES

As a busy mom myself, I understand the value of treasured family & maternity portraits and the fleeting nature of those tiny, unforgettable moments. With an appreciation for fine arts & a background in painting, I provide my clients a similar aesthetic that mirrors this richness; embracing texture, soft natural light, and thoughtfully curated color palettes.

GET TO KNOW ME...

Real + Honest Moments…

are what make your story so special - especially the ones filled with curiosity, adventure, and pure joy. There’s nothing like witnessing a woman grow into motherhood; watching a couple admire each other endlessly; or seeing a glimpse of the world through a child’s innocent eyes, especially while visiting the Island of Maui, Hawaii. 
I offer a session approach that allows you room to be true to yourselves, letting your honest imperfections shine. We won’t stand in one place and stare at the camera…we’ll move, we’ll dance, and we’ll laugh - because these are all things that make for a beautiful experience & memorable images.

LET’S BRING Your Visions TO LIFE

Why choose me over another Maui photographer? Because I'll always be the calm to your storm, throwing myself into your moments like they were my very own, demanding personal perfection & authenticity to ensure you receive my absolute best representation of you. 

I’ll always make the most out of our time together, striving for that perfect angle to highlight Maui’s gorgeous tropical lighting, while nurturing genuine connections and supporting you & your wildest little ones. But most importantly, helping you & your loved ones create another memory for you to take home from the Hawaiian Islands and your vacation on Maui. 
I’m here for you in every way possible…and like I said, I’m ALL in.
