We’re the Balters—a family of photographers with more than 25 years in Maui and over 1,000 five-star reviews.
We’ll guide the light, the movement, and the little moments—so you can enjoy Maui and remember how it felt.
“OMG. I have never had such beautiful pictures taken.”
Monica booked a couples session with Laurence and Jude, who coached her and her partner through the poses and made the most of the scenery. Her edited gallery arrived in under 24 hours.
“They were a pleasure to just speak with and get to know. These pictures will be a special memory and souvenir of our trip.”
Nicole booked a family session with Laurence and Jude, along with senior portraits for her son. Her photographs and words capture what matters most to us: a relaxed experience, real connection, and memories that belong to the family.
Movement. Atmosphere. Emotion. Images that feel less like portraits and more like scenes from your own story. No AI, all images hand edited.
We create portraits in extraordinary Maui light, with direction that feels natural and an experience that never feels rushed.
The result is more than a gallery of vacation photos. It's a visual record of who you were — together — in Maui.
The laughter, the dance, the movement, the glance back — the unplanned.
Because life happens fast.
Explore an experience shaped around the people and the moment you want to remember.
Whenever we travel with our family to some place spectacular, we hire a professional photographer. It makes all the difference.
More than a quarter century ago, our family made Maui our home. For over 25 years, Laurence, Jude, Max, and Solomon Balter have been creating timeless photographs for families visiting South Maui.
Every single session is photographed personally by one of us—never an outside contractor or temp photographer. We treat your family like our own family, taking the time to ensure everyone feels relaxed, comfortable, and truly at ease in front of the lens.
