WE ARE LEAVING IN TWO WEEKS AND WANTED TO HAVE A FAMILY PHOTO TAKEN WHILE ON MAUI. WE ARE STAYING IN THE KAANAPALI AREA. ANY SUGGESTIONS? THANKS IN ADVANCE.

SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT IDEA!!!
Why are you shouting?

Here is a link to a professional photographer on Oahu who does a lot of different work. I know that he will travel to the other islands for shoots.

You can see a lot of his work on his website, and give him a call and ask him on pricing. He's a good guy, and loves photography... and you can see by his website he does great work. I personally met him just the other day, and was quite impressed with not only his work, but his passion for doing it.

That is a great idea. I'll hope you'll post a trip report - I'd love to hear about your photo and your trip!

PS
All caps = shouting. ;-)

Sorry, I didn't know I was shouting.

Thanks for the information. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Patti Legary took our wedding photos on Maui. She was reasonably priced and we were very pleased with our photos. If you do a google search for photographers on Maui you will get tons of links back. We are returning this Christmas for my dad's 70th and plan to do a family shot as well. You will be very glad you did!
I think Patti may charge a bit more for traveling to Kaanapali (she is located in the Kihei area), but if you drive down to the Wailea area for the photos, it won't cost extra. There are beautiful beaches there that aren't full of people so it will look like your the only ones on the entire beach! She'll recommend a great spot for you. Have fun!
