Maui Family Portraits at Palauea Beach: Michelle & Raphael’s Growing Family. 

This precious family of three is soon welcoming a fourth member — we’re so happy for them. Michelle and Raphael are no strangers to Hawaii; they’ve been here before and they love it. For this session we met at Palauea Beach in Wailea, Maui. They wanted family portraits that capture the quiet, steady love they share, so we focused on simple moments: soft smiles, gentle embraces, and the way they move together along the shoreline. The warm late-afternoon light, the textures of sand and surf, and the relaxed, natural poses created images that feel intimate and timeless — a true reflection of their growing family and the joy ahead.
