The Panzarini’s Maui family portrait at Maluaka Beach was the kind of session that radiates warmth, love, and joy. Visiting from California, this family has been to Maui a few times, and their last trip in 2021 included a photo session they still cherish. This year, they returned with one goal in mind: to create more beautiful memories together. And they did exactly that!
At the heart of this session was Luz Maria, the family matriarch, whose love and guidance shine so clearly through her children and grandson. Being able to capture her alongside her daughter, Gina, and son, Natalio was something truly special. These portraits were more than just photographs, they were heirlooms in the making, a way of honoring the bonds that have carried this family through the years.




Of course, family sessions also mean celebrating new chapters, and Nat and his fiancée Emily brought their own excitement into the mix. Engaged in January and planning their wedding for 2027, this was the perfect opportunity to capture some engagement-style photos. Their happiness was infectious, their smiles genuine, and every shot seemed to sparkle with anticipation for the life they’re about to build together.
From playful shots in the sand to tender groupings by the water, the session was filled with laughter and love.











It’s moments like this that remind us why family portraits are so important. Life changes, milestones come and go, but pausing to capture them ensures they’re never forgotten. For the Panzarinis, the beach wasn’t just a backdrop; it was the canvas for a story of family, love, and legacy. We hope you have an amazing time! It was a joy to work with you all again! And congrats Nat and Emily!
