There’s something extraordinary about firsts, and for the Browns, their first trip came with a Maui family portrait session that felt like pure island magic. This sweet family of five Ella, 7, Isabelle, 4, Owen, 1, and parents, Lindsey and Mike, who know the value of capturing memories, wanted a mix of timeless posed shots and candid moments full of personality.
Polo Beach set the perfect stage. With its soft sand, gentle waves, and wide-open ocean views, it gave us room to play while still framing those warm, picture-perfect moments. The kids were their wonderfully silly selves, laughing, and creating the kind of in-between moments that make a gallery truly come alive. Those little bursts of joy? That’s the stuff we love to capture.







At Polo Beach, the soft diffused light wrapped around the Browns like a warm embrace. It softened every frame and added that dreamy glow you just can’t recreate in a studio. Our style leans into that natural beauty, authentic colors, relaxed poses, and the little interactions that tell the real story. Their girls were so adorable and loved to pose for us. They gave us bright smiles that surely will be new additions for their family album at home!















Brown family, mahalo for letting us be part of your very first Maui adventure. We hope these images live in your home as reminders of a trip! These family memories are the best kind of souvenirs you could ask for!

It was about celebrating milestones, honoring family, and capturing the kind of moments you want to keep
