Malinee and Rich Carosso are longtime Maui residents who first met while both were living in Japan as young adults in 1993. Malinee, who is originally from Thailand and had lived in 4 countries by the time she was 14, became smitten with Rich at first sight when she spotted him across the room at a party and immediately knew he would one day be her husband.
After a 6-year courtship across several continents, the two married and settled on Maui as home. As Malinee puts it, “Maui is the best of both worlds. It’s East meets West.” The beauty and friendliness of the island of Maui made its impression on the couple who stayed and started a family a few years after moving here. First came Dominic, 13, then Marina, 11, two years later.
Baldwin Beach in the morning is a great time and place for a family photo session on Maui. The light sand makes for some clear blue water which looks gorgeous in photos.
The family had never done a formal photo session together, but were quickly in agreement on a beach location as they often spend their time together at the beach or camping. A morning session at Baldwin Beach made for some beautiful blue skies and water and a great place for them to also bring the family dog, Ginger, who loves the beach and time with her Maui family.
The grassy area and many trees behind the beach make for some nice touches to a family photo session.
Ginger had fun playing fetch in the sand with her humans!
This beach also has views of the West Maui mountains behind it.
