Let’s talk about the Dolkiewicz family and their ridiculously adorable Maui family portrait, shall we? Think soft ocean breeze, sunset vows, and two giggling, sandy-footed littles dressed to the nines. Ivy (13 months of pure sweetness) and Levi (4 years old, equal parts brilliant and wild-child energy) were the stars of the show, well, tied for first with Mom and Dad, who used this beautiful Hawaiian day to say “I still do.”
Having previously fallen in love with Hawaii during a Big Island trip two years ago with toddler Levi in tow, this time the family returned for something extra special: a vow renewal meets family photo session. Cue all the feels!




We met them on the beach at golden hour, where nerves about the five-hour time change (hello, Texas jet lag) melted away faster than shave ice in the sun. Ivy rocked her tulle dress and massive bow like a baby runway pro, while Levi brought the camera-ready charm!
The ceremony was sweet and heartfelt, Ivy nestled in her mama’s arms while Dad read his vows. And Levi? He stood by their sitting, watching on like a little gentleman in the making. After the vows, we captured golden-lit snuggles, kisses, and candid in the very best way.





From sandy toes to tear-filled smiles, the Dolkiewicz family brought their full selves to the beach, joy, love, energy, and all. And honestly? That’s what makes portraits like these sing. The light was so amazing for their Maui family portrait! They couldn’t have asked for a more golden glow for this special family moment! There is no better place to renew your vows than a beach in paradise. These moments? Absolutely priceless.

Let’s be honest: family photos with kids can feel like herding cats, especially when those kids would rather be climbing trees, chasing lizards, or running full speed into the nearest tide pool. The Swains know this well, which is exactly what made their Big Island family portrait session at Old Kona Airport Beach so memorable
