There’s something undeniably special about a morning on Maui, the kind where the sun is gleaming off the ocean, and your whole family is laughing in the sand while looking like they just stepped out of a vacation magazine. The Haizlips brought all of that and more to their Maui family portrait session, and it was pure, sun-soaked magic!
Fresh off the excitement of Kali’s college graduation (go, Kali!!), the Haizlips decided it was time for something extra special. A family trip to Maui. Cue the sunshine, the matching-yet-not-too-matchy outfits, and the kind of joyful energy that only happens when your biggest priority is simply being together.
Their Maui family portrait session at Ironwoods Beach? Absolutely perfect. The morning light was bright and golden, just like their vibrant energy. It bathed everything in this soft, happy glow that made their smiles even more contagious. Their beautiful girls posed, showing their sisterly love. This was more than a family vacation, it was quality family time…
There were group hugs and epic views as far as the eye could see. There were those split-second moments of pure connection that you wish you could hold onto forever, and lucky for us, we captured them all.
And let’s talk about their style for a second. The pops of color and crisp whites popped perfectly against the dreamy blues of the ocean and the gold sand beneath their feet. The whole session felt light, carefree, and full of love. The kind of morning that doesn’t ask for perfection, just togetherness.
What we loved most was how relaxed they were. No stress, no fuss. Just a family celebrating something big (we see you, Kali!), and savoring the rare gift of uninterrupted time together in one of the most beautiful places on Earth. And that’s the real magic of family portraits, not just capturing faces, but capturing a feeling. A moment. A season of life that deserves to be remembered.
By the end of the session, it didn’t feel like a photo shoot at all. It felt like a celebration. A celebration of Kali’s achievement, of family, of sunshine and laughter and everything good.
Congratulations again, Kali! And to the whole Haizlip family, we loved every second of your Maui morning joy-fest. Your portraits are more than just pictures. They’re a love letter to this moment in your lives. And we’re so grateful we got to be there to capture it! Enjoy Maui!

There’s a very specific kind of magic that happens when someone plans a surprise Kauai proposal portrait. Not just any proposal, but the kind that includes red roses, a quiet beach, and six years of knowing, you know, the kind that makes you tear up before the ring box is even open. That was Larissa
