The Clark family had been dreaming of this trip for a year. Twelve whole months of countdowns, excitement building, bags packed in their minds long before the actual suitcases came out. Their first time in Hawaii, Ashley’s milestone 40th birthday to celebrate, and two kids who couldn’t wait to dip their toes in the ocean. And now? Finally standing on the golden sands of Ironwoods Beach for their Maui family portrait, living out the adventure they’d been waiting for.
The session? Pure joy. They wanted candid, in-the-moment photos, and that’s exactly what we captured. Their 14-year-old daughter, Katelyn, started off shy in front of the camera, but little by little, her guard dropped, her smiles became more effortless, and by the end? She was glowing. Their 11-year-old son, Cody? Oh, he was in his element—fully embracing the fun. Every shot was full of movement, energy, life. Keep reading to see more!
And the outfits? Chef’s kiss. Soft blues and pinks that popped perfectly against the Maui backdrop—intentional, thoughtful, and absolutely gorgeous. They strolled along the shore, holding hands, letting the waves chase their feet, completely wrapped up in the magic of finally being in Hawaii together.
And that’s what made this session so special. It wasn’t just about the photos (though, let’s be real, they turned out stunning). It was about this moment—a family, in paradise, after a year of dreaming, laughing and soaking in every second.
Clark family, congratulations on your first Hawaii adventure! May it be the first of many, and may every trip be just as full of joy, love, and breathtaking memories!
