Sarah + Jeffrey joined us at the beach in Wailea just before sunset and Sarah looked absolutely beautiful, expecting the couples’ first child and enjoying some down time before welcoming their new family member.

Just engaged in the days prior to our session, Nathanael and Natalie’s beach portrait session was arranged by Natalie’s twin sister as a surprise. We met N+N at the beach and it seemed as if the sunset turned on especially for these two celebrating such an important new chapter in their lives. Thank you for […]

Sunsets on Maui are spectacular at the best of times, but when your subjects are expecting parents, they become that much more special. We enjoyed this beautiful sunset with Valeria + Kody, expecting the arrival of their first child.

Angie and family are expecting baby #2! We met at the beach in Wailea for a sunset portrait session on an overcast afternoon that transformed into an epic sky at the end of our session. Last time we photographed their family was in 2019, and it was great to capture their continuing journey raising their […]

There’s something about a wide angle shot that captures the surrounding environment that gives us a lot of joy. And I know what that something is – the way sunset colors collide to form the most perfect tones. They wrap elegantly around our subjects and work with the sunlight to provide us with the most […]

We photographed return clients Andrea and her family at a beautiful beach just before sunset! It’s always great to see how kids have grown between their sessions, it goes so fast. Their session was short and sweet, and we gathered some beautiful images that capture their connection under gorgeous Maui skies.

Maui is a small island at times, and your neighbor down the street just might turn out to be your portrait client! We met this family through a mutual friend and it was a pleasure to photograph their family at the beach in Wailea. The sunset was beautiful, we had the beach to ourselves and […]

Nina modeled another of our Kasia Kulenty gowns and the glow of sunset popped at the end of our session, the colors a perfect match for the golden tones of her dress.

We took Nina and one of our goddess gowns for a swim at sunset on Maui and couldn’t be happier with the results! The gowns flow effortlessly in the water, and our collaboration necklace with Washed Up On Maui looked spectacular on our muse!

We photographed this session for return clients at the beach at sunset, the first time was when Laura was pregnant with the little one you see running around in the photographs! It means a lot when clients return to us to capture their growing families, whether this be from couples to newlyweds, maternity clients to […]

In the past we’ve hesitated posting images with rich tones such as underwater portraits and after-sunset pics because I thought they made our feed look odd scattered amongst soft pastel tones. I’m learning to let go of the design aspect and realize we should be posting what we love, even if this includes a few […]

Rebecca + Brent visited us from Oahu for a sunset mini session at the beach, we’re so fortunate to have met with this awesome family for their portraits, which were taken in celebration of their little one’s first birthday! Check out a preview below!

Our beach portrait session with Amber and her family was our first photoshoot after quarantine restrictions lifted. We enjoyed an epic sunset on (and in) the water, and couldn’t have asked for a better crowd to share the ocean with. Here are some key elements to a fun family portrait session: Energy – the only […]

I looked at our daughter holding out a book for me to read to her before bed. She requested A Day at the Seashore, and thumbed through the pages pointing out her favorite things. “Ha-tt” – she said, pointing to the little girl’s sun hat. “Woof woof”, pointing to the dog on her favorite page. […]

It’s true, Ashley’s Maui babymoon portrait session with us was one of our last before we entered lockdown due to COVID-19. I edited this session with tears in my eyes, because closing this shoot means remembering so much. It makes me remember what I miss, what I took for granted. I miss carrying our 38 […]

Babymoons mean relaxation, and nothing goes better with a getaway for soon-to-be-three more than a sunset portrait session on the beach on Maui! Emilia + Praem, thank you for choosing us to photograph your babymoon portraits on Maui!

I must say, the last few weeks have played host to a series of emotions that I know are not unique to our family. Sadness, grief, anxiety. But as I flick through images and process edits and deliver galleries from sessions we photographed before the COVID-19 pandemic grabbed hold and the world took a panicked […]

This was our third time photographing Brooke + family on Maui. The first time she was pregnant with their daughter, the second was with both kids in tow and third one year later, 2020, when both had grown so much! It’s a privilege to capture families year after year on Maui, and Brooke’s family is […]

Today I’m sharing two things we’ve noticed since the emergence of our global crisis and the emphasis of social distancing. Social Neighboring Our audience on social media is more active than ever. We respond to dozens of messages per day as opposed to a trickle of a few (much appreciated) DMs. In a climate where […]
