Let’s talk about full-circle moments, the kind that sneak up on you and suddenly make your heart do a double-take. The Stevens family just gave us one of those during their eighth (yes, EIGHTH!) Maui family portrait session, and we’re still a little misty about it.
Andrika and Jay, married 21 years and radiant as ever, first brought their family to us in 2011. Back then, Jason was a sweet three-year-old, and baby Ashleigh was only ten months old. And we’ve been photographing them since then! Fast forward to now: Jason just graduated high school (!!!), is headed to college to play baseball and train in the Fire Academy, and Ashleigh just started high school! Talk about major milestones! The Stevens are totally proud parents, as you can imagine!






Southside Beach was the setting once again, just like it was all those years ago, but this time, the light felt a little softer, a little more golden. Maybe it was the nostalgia. Maybe it was Maui doing her magical, glowy thing. Either way, it was perfect.
Oh, and get this: Ashleigh wore the same dress Andrika wore back in that first session. How sweet!?
We recreated some of their favorite shots from 2011, and somehow, even with all the time that’s passed, the Stevens family still fits into the frame just as beautifully, maybe even more so now, because of everything they’ve shared and grown through together.










This wasn’t just a portrait session. It was a visual love letter to a family’s story: then, now, and everything in between. As always, it’s a joy to photograph your beautiful family! We hope you enjoy your time in Maui; it must feel like home away from home by now!
