Just before the holidays, I had the wonderful opportunity to photograph this beautiful family on a perfect Hawaii morning. Our first session date was rained out, but we were able to reschedule a few days later and the weather couldn’t have been better. I’m happy to say that this image was ordered as a large gallery wrapped canvas, and I’m looking forward to seeing a photo of it hanging in their home.

All three children were a delight, and got along so well. Baby brother adores his big sister and brother, and they were so patient and gentle with him.

The baby of the family shares the same name as my oldest, and some of the same personality traits- he was definitely happiest with his mama! She got the biggest smiles from him. This was his first real beach outing and he did very well.

Meanwhile, the older two were off exploring tidepools inhabited by a few fish and several tiny hermit crabs. I couldn’t believe how many they caught!

Thank you again, K family, for a wonderful morning. I hope your portraits will always bring back memories of a beautiful morning spent exploring the beach together!
