The Hasenoehrl’s Maui family portrait session felt like one of those full-circle moments that make your heart do a little happy flip. Five years ago, they stood in right here as newlyweds, sun-kissed and starry-eyed, promising forever. Now, they’ve returned from Idaho as a family of five, proof that time, when paired with love, is wildly generous!
This trip marked their fifth wedding anniversary, but it was also something even sweeter: their first Maui adventure as parents. With three little ones in tow: ages four, two, and a sweet eight months, the island felt brand new again. There’s something magical about seeing Hawaii through the eyes of your children, watching them play and explore in the sunshine. It slows everything down in the best way. Keep reading to see their beautiful next chapter of their family!





Their session was a balance of natural poses yet traditional, the kind that includes cuddles, curiosity, and the occasional toddler escape attempt. And honestly? That’s where the magic lived. Between shared laughs, gentle snuggles, and sweet moments, these portraits captured exactly who they are right now. A family growing, learning, and loving hard. They all wore white, which perfectly matched the easy, breezy low key Maui vibe. Their kiddos were too adorable!
What made this session especially meaningful was the history. We photographed their wedding here in Maui, back when it was just the two of them dreaming about the future. To stand in a similar place years later, surrounded by the little humans who now make up that dream, felt incredibly special. Hawaii has quietly witnessed their story unfolding, chapter by chapter. The palm trees at St. Theresa’s Church added that perfect tropical and nostalgic touch to their Maui family portrait! (It’s where they were married, too!)








This Maui family portrait session wasn’t just about photos, it was about honoring how far they’ve come. From newlyweds in Hawaii to parents sharing their favorite place with their children, the Hasenoehrls soaked up every moment. Five years of marriage, five hearts beating together, and a vacation filled with memories they’ll carry long after the sand is shaken from their bags!
