After more than ten years away, the Amos family returned to Maui, this time with two little ones in tow and a new reason to celebrate. Their Maui family portrait session at Southside Beach was more than just an update for the photo albums; it was a long-awaited gathering of three generations, filled with laughter, love, and the soft golden light of paradise.
Visiting from Colorado, the family, Lauren and her husband, their sweet 3-year-old Audrey, and 1-year-old Max, joined by Grandma and Grandpa (Judy and Scott) and Uncle Brandon, made the most of their beautiful Maui day. For a family that hadn’t had professional photos taken since the wedding, this was something truly special…





Southside Beach was the perfect setting, calm waves, glowing light, and that signature Maui warmth that makes everyone instantly relax. As the session unfolded, the kids’ giggles filled the air, their tiny footprints tracing through the sand while their parents and grandparents watched with adoring smiles. We captured everything, those classic portraits everyone loves and the candid, playful moments that show what family really feels like.
There’s something magical about photographing families in Hawaii. Maybe it’s the way the light seems to wrap everyone in gold, or how the ocean breeze loosens even the shyest smiles. Whatever it is, the Amos family embodied it perfectly: joyful, connected, and completely present in the moment.













Their portraits are a snapshot of love across generations. They are also a reminder of how quickly little hands grow and how beautiful it is to pause and preserve this season of life.
Congratulations, Amos family! Your Maui portraits are more than photos. They’re a reflection of love, laughter, and the gift of being together in paradise!
