Maxine Caulfield was born in 1995 and is the only child of Ryan and Vanessa Caulfield. Her best-friend while growing up in Arcadia Bay, Oregon was Chloe Price. The pair of them were nearly inseparable as kids. However, shortly after the death of Chloe's father, Max's parents uprooted and moved to Seattle. She lost touch with Chloe for five years as she cultivated her love of photography.
