There’s a certain kind of magic that happens at Maluaka Beach, the kind woven from soft trade winds, shimmering turquoise water, and sunlight so bright and airy it feels like a blessing. And on the evening of the Lomax’s Maui family portrait session, that magic showed up in full force!
From the moment they stepped onto the sand, the Lomaxes brought the best energy, warm, joyful, and the kind that makes you grin behind the camera without even realizing it. They looked so lovely together, effortlessly coordinated and wholly themselves, radiating that easy happiness that comes from simply being together in a place that feels like paradise. Every laugh, every smile, every squeeze-of-the-hand moment… it was all there, sparkling as brightly as the Pacific behind them! Keep reading to see more!



We captured all the combinations, the whole family together, kids individually, parents with each child, siblings, mom and dad, the entire beautiful tapestry of their relationships. And of course, a big group family portrait! Each pairing had its own rhythm, its own charm, but the common thread was unmistakable: this is a family who loves deeply and shows it easily.

They splashed on the shoreline and literally jumped for joy! They had the best time, and you can just feel it in these photos!








Mahalo Lomax family! What an honor to capture this beautiful chapter for you. Here’s to many more sunny, joy-filled memories ahead! We hope you had the best time together!
