If you’re looking for Wailea family photography session, Poʻolenalena Beach is one of the dreamiest spots on the island. This sunset session with a sweet family of five captured everything we love—golden light, playful moments, and the kind of joy that only happens when you’re barefoot in the sand.



Sunset Light & First Moments
We started the session just before the sun dipped behind the horizon, giving us the soft, golden light that makes Wailea family photography so magical. The family quickly settled in, laughing and cuddling as the sky turned pastel and the waves rolled in gently behind them.



Splash Time & Lava Rocks
Once we had some classic portraits, it was time to play! The kids ran straight for the water, splashing and skipping through the shallows. Meanwhile, Mom and Dad snuck away for a quick couples’ photo on the lava rock point—because love deserves a moment too. Candid, playful images like these are at the heart of every great family photography session.




Natural, Candid Joy
As the light deepened, we focused on capturing personality—siblings giggling, sandy toes, and spontaneous hugs. These are the images that tell the real story. The beach gave us plenty of space to move around, with changing backdrops that kept things fresh and dynamic from start to finish.
