First Time For Everything – The Farris’ Maui Family Portrait

Andrea, who grew up among the ancient streets of Rome, and Leah, hailing from the heart of Chicago, built a beautiful life together. They now call Denver home (yes, the mountains are a dream), but family adventures? That’s where the real magic happens.

Let’s talk about the Farris family—midwestern roots, international flair, mountain views, and now… beachy bliss in their Maui family portrait. Leah and Andrea have strolled Maui’s shores before, but this time? They brought their trio of incredible humans along for the ride. Cue D.T. Fleming Beach, a stretch of golden sand and sunset dreams that felt like it was made for this moment.

Luca is now 19 and living in Chicago, attending DePaul University studying film. And the twin power of Ariella and Liliana brought double the sparkle. Ariella, a gifted artist who probably saw the beach as one giant inspiration board, and Liliana, with her passion for languages and cultures, fit perfectly into Maui’s vibrant rhythm. And you’ll see it was the best family vacation ever!

This was their first beach portrait session—after years of fall leaves and cozy denim photoshoots—and oh wow, did they crush it. The light was soft and golden, the waves added to the magic, and the love between this family? Practically visible.

They laughed, played, posed, and soaked in the Maui glow. It wasn’t just a photoshoot—it was a celebration of who they are right now: joyful, close-knit, and always ready for their next adventure.

To the Farris family: congrats on your gorgeous Maui memories! May your walls at home soon be filled with sun, surf, and a whole lot of aloha.
