Pilina Photography


Aloha, I’m Kristen—a professional Maui photographer, mama of two wild toddlers, and former elementary school teacher who knows that life with kids is beautifully chaotic.


I specialize in capturing the real moments: the giggles, the cuddles, the toddler sprints, and even the partners who would rather be anywhere else than in front of a camera (don't worry, I've got them too). With a teacher's patience, quick reflexes, and a deep love for everyday magic, I make sessions fun, relaxed, and genuinely enjoyable—even with unpredictable kids and camera-shy spouses.


With beautiful Maui as our backdrop, let's capture the moments you'll want to hold onto forever. Because as we all know, time moves far too fast.




Pilina means connection — capturing the love, laughter, and relationships that matter most.
