If you could bottle joy, it would probably look a lot like the Hebrink family’s Maui family portrait at Baldwin Beach! The rainbow, the laughter, the way everyone leaned into just being together, it was magic.
For most of the Hebrink crew, this was their very first time in Hawaii. And it had been a long time since they’ve all been together for a group portrait like this! Wayne and Dona, were the seasoned Hawaii pros, having visited twice before, but for everyone else? This was a once-in-a-lifetime kind of trip.
The family tree was delightfully full: nephews Hudson, Nolan, and Westin, kind, funny, and quickly turning into the kind of young men who make you proud. Maela, the sweet 10-year-old niece with a smile that could light up the Pacific. And Amanda and Nick, Stephanie’s sister and brother-in-law absolute gems of humans and amazing parents. So, need we say more about this glowing family? Just see these photos below!





Baldwin Beach gave us the perfect canvas for their portraits: endless golden sand, turquoise waves, and a sunset that seemed to hang in the air just for them. Our photography style is all about catching those real moments, no stiff poses, just genuine connection. The way their kiddos pose with their grandparents. The way siblings laugh over some shared memory. And the way parents look at their kids with pride. It was all the feels!
As the sun dipped lower, we moved between candid laughter and relaxed, natural groupings. Every frame felt like it belonged in a family album that would be passed down for years. The sunset was an absolute stunner for their Maui family portrait, too! It was as if Maui was celebrating their arrival!

















Hebrink family, thank you for letting us capture this chapter. You brought the joy, Baldwin brought the beauty, and together, it was pure Maui magic.
