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!!!

The Rizo Family Celebrates at Ironwood's Beach
The Rizo Family made a monumental journey to Maui… all 16 of them… and there were plenty of other family members that could not join… What was the occasion you ask?? Their parents 50th wedding anniversary!!! It is rare to see this kind of martial commitment especially when its celebrated by your loving daughters & their children surrounding the lovely couple.
Rosa (the eldest daughter of her parents) reached out to me and we agreed that a sunrise portrait time would be the best as they were all (mostly) early risers. We met at Ironwood’s Beach which is known for its pastel morning hues and stunning teals ocean colors during sunrise. We did all of the combinations you could dream of. I have to say the children made my day with the respect and love they all showered onto their parents and grandparents.
Thank you Rizo Family for having me that lovely morning. It was an honor to celebrate your parents EPIC 50th anniversary and meet all of you.
Love Always, Desi
Upcountry Family Sweetness in Poli Poli
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.
Isla Family & Kealia Coastal Boadwalk
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!!
