We loved our photo session with Cynthia! We met at Kapalua bay for sunset photos of our big family, and she was great at setting us up for different shots with very little fuss. Super friendly and professional, she made everyone feel comfortable with the session. She was great with the litte kids, too. We are very happy with the final product, which arrived quickly, in a great format. We also really appreciate the USB with high res photos so we can order our own larger photos! Highly recommended! read more

I truly don't have enough amazing things to say about Cynthia and her incredible work. We take family photos every single year, so we have high expectations and are pretty experienced at this. I am usually very happy with how our photos turn out, but the images Cynthia captured are hands-down the best family photos we have ever had. When we knew we would be in Maui this fall, I was determined to have our family photos done there. After searching Yelp and reviewing photographers, I came across Cynthia's work and immediately fell in love with her style. I reached out for a quote and she responded the very next day. From the start, she was friendly, informative, and incredibly easy to work with. Once we booked, she sent several location options, and we chose Napili Bay. It ended up being the perfect spot for our family. On the day of the shoot, Cynthia was warm, kind, and so much fun to work with. She made the entire experience feel relaxed and effortless, and she was especially wonderful with our nine-year-old son, easily coaxing genuine smiles and making him feel comfortable the whole time. The final photos absolutely blew us away. Not only are they stunning, natural, and full of personality, but Cynthia also went back into the images and removed strangers from the beach so it looked like we had the entire beach to ourselves. On top of that, we received all of the digital images to keep, which was such a huge bonus. She was also super affordable, even by Hawaii standards, and truly worth every penny. If you are considering booking a photo session in Hawaii, do yourself a favor and book Cynthia. You will not regret it. We will treasure these photos forever. read more

Cynthia is deserving of her high reviews. She is everything you would want in a family photographer. She is responsive, punctual, friendly, flexible and delivered the photos at the end with special surprises included. I think her pricing is more than fair. We are happy with our family photos and the whole experience with Cynthia. When you're traveling from out of town you never know if you will receive good service. But Cynthia treated us with great care and we will for sure use her for future trips. read more

Cynthia was wonderful! The photos turned out excellent and she was so flexible with planning. We booked her for a surprise engagement session but it ended up pouring rain so we had to pivot to another date and location. She was more than accommodating and helped us make the moment timeless. We felt comfortable during the photo shoot and she gave a quick turn around time to share the photos with friends and loved ones. I'd highly recommend booking your session with Cynthia. read more

Experienced, high quality, punctual, great images. Great value Professional and likable

We recently had a family photo shoot in Maui with Cynthia, and she did an amazing job capturing our precious moments. The sunset lighting was picture-perfect, creating a warm and beautiful ambiance for our photos. The ocean background, with waves playfully getting our feet wet, added a dynamic and natural element to the pictures. We particularly loved the candid shots Cynthia took, which made the photos feel more real and full of life. Her talent and eye for detail truly made this an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend Cynthia for anyone looking to capture the beauty and joy of family moments! I love the way how Cynthia told us girls "follow the wind so your hair doesn't get in your face". Never had any photographer say that. I love that idea!! Thank you for the one hour session read more

Mahalo nui loa Cynthia for commemorating our Ohana trip to Maui in June! The location was truly unreal and magical. Cynthia was very responsive and quick to deliver the photos to us. She sent digital copies as well as raw files on a thumb drive. Cynthia made us feel comfortable and timed the waves breaking over the rocks perfectly. None of us got splashed! We were able to get a lot of shots before the sunset. Cynthia's price is very reasonable! Others were charging a lot more for fewer photos and less time. Glad we were able to capture our first family trip with the latest addition to the family. Cynthia even made sure to make me (the child-less Auntie) feel included by making the nephews and nieces pose with me. Hopefully when we make it back to Maui, Cynthia will be available to take our photos again. Highly recommend! read more

Cynthia was amazing! We had a large group (14) and made the experience so much fun. She took the best shots and all of us are happy with the results. She was very detailed with the shots and didn't rush us. She led us, but also let us do what we wanted during the session. She also provided great location suggestions. The whole experience was super easy and she is a pleasure to work with. I can see why she got 5 stars on Yelp! Thank you, Cynthia! read more

This was our first photo shoot with Cynthia. She had selected the best Maui views for our 1 hour session. We were actually a little nervous prior to our shoot, but she made us feel comfortable and definitely made it fun the entire time! We have been married for 44 years, together 50 years and had not done anything like this since our wedding. We are very selective on who we work with and of course the results. It is now difficult to pick the best photos because there are a bunch. We both highly recommend Cynthia! Mark & Jane read more

Cynthia came prepared with creative ideas I hadn't even considered, and her eye for detail really stood out, making sure hair, hand placement, and angles were just right. What impressed me most was her patience and ability to work so well with my small children. It made the whole experience stress-free and fun. Cynthia's flexible scheduling was also a huge help for our busy family. I definitely recommend her and would book again without hesitation! read more

She is super friendly, thoughtful, and easy going! The entire experience was FUN for our 2.5-year-old daughter! She was great with our child and made her smile multiple times!

Her previous reviews speak for themselves but just wanted to give another shoutout to how well done my engagement photos were. I was borderline on getting a photographer for my proposal but so glad that I did after looking at these shots. Truly. Made us feel comfortable and natural during the shoot. Is aware of the details (ie. direction, time of day, tourist/bystander numbers) to really maximize Maui's idyllic scenery. Not the cheapest option but comparable hourly rates to other photographers. Would choose her again in a heartbeat. read more

Cynthia L Photography - Couples picture - Event Photography Near Me

This review is easily long overdo, Cynthia is an amazing photographer. The whole process of narrowing down a photographer can be very time consuming, but her website was informative and she is responsive to any questions I had regarding the photo session. As a family, we really do not like taking photos but her welcoming presence helped with photo session. We had fun, it was light and before we knew it our hour was done. It felt nothing like a stuffy photo session. For post production, we got our photos 2-3 days later on a website and usb flash drives. Trust me, I did my research. She is the only photographer that allowed access to all of your photos from the session. The photos came out great and it was the best mother's day gift for my wife. Cynthia is one of the few local and AAPI photographers in Maui. Hopefully, the next time when daughter is older, she will smile for our photos. read more

Professional, responsive, reasonably priced, flexible, friendly and took awesome photos...my family and I were very happy with our family portraits by Cynthia. With the quickly changing weather conditions on Maui, we were worried about rain and wind on Napili Bay. Cynthia was flexible with providing us with an alternate location but we ended up being able to take photos at Napili Bay. We were so glad we did because the weather was absolutely gorgeous! Made for a beautiful backdrop for our beautiful photos! Cynthia was quick to get our photos to us. We were very pleased with her professionalism and outstanding service! read more
