Some families bring sunshine with them, and the Pliske family? They brought a whole forecast of joy, laughter, and celebration to their Maui family portrait session at DT Fleming Beach.
This wasn’t just any trip to paradise. It was a big, beautiful celebration: retirement, two milestone birthdays (hello 65!), and an incredible 44 years of marriage. Yes—forty-four! The kind of love story that deserves its own soundtrack and maybe a parade. And what better way to mark the occasion than by gathering the whole crew for a Maui family portrait session that felt more like a party in the sand?
DT Fleming Beach gave us the perfect canvas, golden sun, crashing waves, and plenty of space for all the hugs, giggles, and group combinations. Big family groups can feel like a puzzle, but this one? Every piece fits perfectly. We captured grandparents with grandkids, siblings arm in arm, sweet couples’ moments, and those big full-group shots that are destined for the family album (and maybe the holiday card too!).










The best part? Everyone brought their A-game. There were genuine smiles, coordinated poses, silly moments, and the kind of effortless warmth that comes from years of memories and love. It wasn’t just a Maui family portrait session; it was a joyful, sun-drenched celebration of life’s biggest blessings.
We hope the Pliskes had as much fun as we did capturing these moments. Because honestly? This was the perfect time to pause, reflect, and say, “Look at this life we’ve built.” And now, they’ll have these golden memories to treasure forever, one beautiful photo at a time.










Here’s to retirement, birthdays, anniversaries, and most importantly… family! We hope you have the best time! Congratulations!
