Lexi and her adorable family reached out to me for family portraits while they were vacationing on Maui. I love when there are generations layered in the family photos because the joy cannot be contained. Lexi’s little girls were such angels and the stars of the photos… and you will see why. We played on the quaint beaches in Kahana on Maui’s West side and the sunset was breathtaking. Thank you to Lexi and her family for enjoying our time together! You all made my job so easy!!!
When Eric reached out to plan a surprise proposal, I was all in on making this happen for him and the family. We opted for Kealia Boardwalk as this stretch of beach is stunning and made for the perfect backdrop to ask the Big Question. We booked this as a family portrait session and worked in the surprise proposal as the couple was surrounded by their children and parents. It was such a great moment for us all. If you are thinking about proposing on the gorgeous island of Maui, let me know…. I’d love to give you the support you need.
We all have unique family situations but the important part is that we still love & respect everyone who comes into our lives that we choose as family. Christina was celebrating her birthday and wanted family photos. She had a fresh baby with her husband Luvin and she has a son with a previous partner. Everyone came together so Christina could have the ultimate gift of her kids sharing this time with her. Her previous partner was supportive and helped me get everyone’s attention and smiles. We basked under the soft sunlit sky and I think we can all agree the photos reflect the love shown that day. It was an honor to be a part of Christina’s birthday and capture these precious moments of them all together.
Donna reached out to celebrate this Maui family vacation with some photo memories. They met me at Kealia Coastal Boardwalk and loved the long white stretches of beach and the views. She asked for mountains and beach and this spot delivers stunning views of both. We wondered around the area and enjoyed the native birds and the tide pools. The kids loved the wide open spaces and Donna loved the mis of portraits and candids we were able to create together. I’m available to create memories with you too if you are coming to Maui! Reach out and book something soon!!
The Coopers had been preparing for their Maui trip for months and since the boys are growing up, Julie decided a family photo session would be the addition she wanted to solidify some of these memories.
We met at my favorite spot on the upper west side at Ironwoods Beach. It is defined by gorgeous white sands, great rock formations and stunning beach cliffs.
The boys did their best to make mom happy with the hour we had together. I am sure that Julie will cherish these photos for a lifetime.
I get so lucky with the sweetest families that come to visit Maui and end up having photos on the beach. The kids were great listeners and I could feel the love throughout their time together at White Rock that day. The sunset was unforgettable and their photos speak for themselves. They promised they will be back so I am sure I will see them again!
The Falch Family joined me one beautiful afternoon at White Rock Beach. It was breezy as usually but Bethany had ordered stunning lei po’o from Maricel Floral Designs. This is a great solution for keeping the ladies hair in place and it is a special tradition in Hawaii. The colors of the outfits were seemless against the gorgeous backdrops and we had a great time exploring the beach.

Kealia Sunset Session
My dear friend Jace treated his bestie Todd to a photo session with me. What a great gift!!! Todd was on Maui enjoying summer break with his kids. They were staying in Kihei and found an abandoned chick on Halama Street. For our photo shoot, we decided on Kealia Coastal Boardwalk and the family included their new addition… the baby chick! Wild chickens can be found just about everywhere throughout the islands but it was a first for me to include one in a photo session on the beach. I loved every minute. Enjoy these photos and this is your reminder to be creative with your photo session!!
I love getting up and watching the sunrise. The pastel colors against the ocean backdrop on Maui is breathtaking. I know getting up early isn’t for everyone but to make an exception and see it for yourself is an unforgettable experience. This sweet family got up early and met me at White Rock Beach in Wailea. We played all around and because of a gentle sprinkle that had happened on the morning, we had the beach to ourselves. Enjoy these moments with me and let me know if you want a sunrise session soon.
I thought it was so special that three best friends who are also graduating in May were able to come to Maui for Spring Break with their families and have a photography session together.
Natalie, Kate & Kylie have had a long time friendship and it was evident when we arrived at the scenic Ironwoods Beach on Maui to celebrate their upcoming graduation. They knew they wanted individual photos and they also had some group photos in mind as well.
We adventured around the beach and the gorgeous cliffs that surround Ironwoods. They wore matching white dresses and were patient as we dealt with the wind sweeping their hair everywhere. Overall, we had a great time and these three made the best of it.
They really enjoyed seeing the beach and the cliffs as they are both so breathtaking. I must send out a huge congratulations to all three of them for their accomplishments and well wishes on all of their adventures to come.
Natalie, Kylie & Kate enjoy the rest of your Senior Year and I hope life brings you nothing but more adventures together in the future.
The Clonts & Burson Families came on a dual family vacation to Maui together for Spring Break. They decided to book a session with me to document this special time on the island as well as the 3 soon to be graduating Seniors!
We all landed at Ironwoods Beach which has beautiful white sand and those ocean blues that are breathtaking. Each family had time to do multiple combinations together for pictures and as one big group. The moms had not coordinated on color schemes ahead of time but all I can say is.. Great Minds Think Alike! They all were spot on with whites & blues and matched wonderfully.
The children enjoyed gathering driftwood and playing gently in the waves as we worked through the important photos. Besides the extra ocean breeze, I think we all had a great time on Maui’s North West Shores.
Enjoy this sneak peek and if you are considering coming with close family friends, lets go out for a beach adventure and grab these memories!
Lots of Love to the Clonts & Burson Families as well as an early Congratulations to Natalie, Kate & Kylie!
When Foram suggested 6:30a.m start time, I have to admit I was a little bit nervous. I thought that perhaps the beach would be too dark and shadowy but I trusted that all would work out and did it ever! The beach was empty, peaceful and full of pastel colors. Foram dressed her family in the perfect color scheme which complimented the backdrops so elegantly. We played at White Rock Beach on Maui’s South Side during this mini session and we all shared so many sweet stories and laughter.
Not only where we celebrating their daughters first time to Maui but Foram is expecting her next child with Abhi. I am so thrilled Foram shared that great news with me. Isn’t she just glowing?
Congratulations to you all and I hope to see you back here on Maui with your next little girl!
This great family session was sparked by the question “Why Not Come to Maui?” To be honest, this is my stepdad’s side of the family and seeing as my mom & he have a guest room, his daughter Sarah & her family hopped on a plane over to Maui for a visit. We all had such a great time and I offered them a family session at the stunning Kealia Coastal Boardwalk area. There were many laughs and so many highlights I was able to capture. I hope you enjoy these moments as much as I do!
