MAUI SOAP COMPANY
Maui Soap Company was built on Maui, by a husband and wife with a dream to reinvent the old-fashioned bar soap by improving its formula using Hawaiian botanicals.
When you purchase a product from Maui Soap Company, you not only get a beautiful handcrafted product, but you also help them in their mission as a portion of every sale goes to an environmental charity to help protect the animals we love.
CHEYNICE RUIDAS, PHOTOGRAPHER
Hi friends! I'm Cheynice, you can call me Chey. I'm fortunate to say that I was born and raised on Maui, Hawaii. Being surrounded by the beauty of the Hawaiian Islands for all of my life, it warms my heart to share my home and create memories with my clients here in the islands.
I've been a professional photographer since 2014 photographing weddings and portraits of all types. Since then, I've worked with clients from throughout the world and photographed throughout all of Hawaii and out of state.
Unrelated to photography, I'm a mom to one of the cutest fur babies, Leon, and believe it or not, I'm a bodybuilder who actively competes in the figure division. So don't be surprised if some shoots I look leaner than my business headshot.
Creative, dog mom, and a fitness fanatic. That's me! I appreciate your time to learn a bit about the photographer behind the lens! I can't express how grateful I am to be able to capture moments that make life worth living for and I’m excited for the many memories to come!
