There’s a particular kind of magic that happens when a family who really loves each other finally lands in the same place at the same time. And especially when that place is Shipwrecks Beach, where the waves are so turquoise they almost don’t look real! This is the perfect setting for a Kauai family portrait! For the Mullens, this Hawaii trip wasn’t just a vacation; it was a rare and precious alignment of timing. Patrick, Kacie, and the kids flew in from Denver, while Bella and PopPops made the long journey from Pittsburgh. Living far apart is hard, the kind of hard you feel in the quiet moments between visits, so when they do get to see each other every few months, they savor it deeply!




This Kauai family portrait session felt like bottling that joy. And honestly? They showed up ready for it. They joked, they chased little legs through the sand, they laughed the kind of laugh that comes from knowing exactly how lucky you are to be standing beside your favorite people. They came hoping for one good photo of all of them…the elusive family shot that somehow never happens at home. And ended up with a whole gallery of memories!
And because this crew loves the natural, candid moments more than anything posed, Shipwrecks was the perfect playground. Every frame felt organic, effortless, and so them. The way the grandparents looked at their grandchildren. The way kiddos were silly and sweet. The way they smile says it all!














By the end, they weren’t just taking photos; they were making memories they’ll hold onto until their next reunion. And long after that, too! Mahalo for choosing Karma Hill Photography!
