The Thiessen family didn’t just return to Hawaii for a Maui family portrait, they came back to the place where their story with us began.
Back in 2017, it was just the two of them, newly married and glowing, walking hand in hand along Baldwin Beach while we captured their honeymoon portraits. It was one of those sessions that felt soft and golden and full of promise, the kind where you can practically see the future unfolding in front of you.
And now?
They’re back. With three beautiful kids, sandy toes, and hearts that somehow feel even fuller than they did that first time!






There is something incredibly meaningful about revisiting the exact same beach where your life together started. Baldwin has that magic, wide open stretches of sand, gentle rolling waves, and the kind of light that feels like a love letter from the island itself. It’s peaceful, nostalgic, and deeply personal all at once, which made it the perfect backdrop for this new chapter of the Thiessen’s story.
Their session felt joyful in the best way. The kids ran freely along the shoreline, while mom and dad looked at each other with that remember when it was just us? kind of smile. It wasn’t about perfect poses or stiff moments, it was about connection. About capturing how far they’ve come and how beautifully their family has grown.







These portraits weren’t just photographs. They were a celebration. A full-circle moment. A reminder that love doesn’t just stay the same. It expands, deepens, and brings new little humans along for the ride.
Watching the Thiessen family stand together at Baldwin Beach, framed by Maui’s beautiful skies, felt like witnessing time fold gently in on itself.
From honeymoon to family of five, what a stunning journey!
And honestly? We’re so honored to be part of it again.
