Candid Captures – The Blackmanson’s Maui Family Portrait

There are photo sessions that feel like work… and then there are the Blackmansons. This sweet trio arrived at their Maui family portrait session with sunshine in their hearts and the kind of energy that radiates joy and energy that practically leaps out of the camera lens.

The star of the show? Violet, of course. With her wide-eyed smile, bouncy pigtails, and infectious laugh, she was the definition of pure delight. Whether she was skipping through the waves or being flung through the air in that giggly, trust-filled way only toddlers and loving parents know. Violet was the light of her parents’ lives, and it showed in every single frame.

Mom and Dad brought a relaxed warmth to the shoot, totally in sync, totally in love with each other and with their daughter. Their joy was so genuine it made everyone smile (including a few nearby beachgoers, let’s be honest).

Our photography style leaned fully into those candid, real moments, soft light, natural emotion, and the perfect balance of laughter and connection. Think windswept hair, sandy toes, and those in-between glances that tell the whole story. No stiff poses here. Just love, movement, and the magic of being fully present. How adorable are these portraits?! You just fake moments like this…

From sweet snuggles to belly laughs to dancing at the shoreline, this session was about capturing the now. The now where Violet is little and loved and totally unstoppable. The now where this family is growing and glowing and making memories in paradise.

Honestly? Their Maui family portrait was pretty special. And joyful. And so, so beautiful. Just like the Blackmansons themselves! Mahalo for choosing Karma Hill Photography!
