It’s hard to believe they are already off to the Mainland and moving on to their next adventure. It has been such a treasure to know this amazing family these past 8 years. I absolutely love Kamie and her whole family and will miss them terribly!
Spending one of the last days on Oahu with the Berkey family was so wonderful. We headed out to North Beach for a nice evening session.

Family Portraits Kailua: the Jensens

Dramatic, diverse, beautiful…North Beach was a perfect setting for the gorgeous Jensen family.
Creating a day where the family can make memories and spend an enjoyable time together is just as important to me as taking great pictures. I believe that the experience from start to finish really adds to the feelings and emotions behind the photographs.
By the end of the session, the kids were laughing and splashing in the ocean. The water was so cool and refreshing on such a warm morning. I love a playful ending like that!
I just couldn’t fit all of the photos I loved into the slideshow so below are some more of my favorites.
What a beautiful day!
Oahu Family Reunion: A Time To Celebrate!

We met on a bright, sunny afternoon at Secret Beach out near the Ko’Olina Resort. I was honored to capture a very special reunion for the Hill Family. In celebration of several birthdays including Great Grandma’s 90th and Grandma’s 65th, they gathered on the island of Oahu to be together for this happy time. What a memorable four generation event!
See below for a slideshow of this fabulous family reunion:
What a beautiful family!!
I love this sweet moment of the cousins together! It’s my fav.

It was such a treat to see the Sanchez family again. The girls have grown up so much since sweet Penelope’s newborn photo session. They are the cutest little girls…so fun and rambunctious! I could play peek-a-boo around the tree all day with Olivia!
See a slideshow starring the Sanchez family:
The huge waves crashing on shore was a bit frightening, but dad was there to make everything ok.

Oahu Bridal Session: Tadashi + Akiko

Two days after the wedding, he whisked her away from home in Japan… off to Hawaii for a grand tropical honeymoon!
When we first met, I couldn’t believe they had just flown in from Japan. Akiko looked stunning! Both the bride and groom looked so refreshed and eager to get started with the shoot. Their enthusiasm was catching. They were both so sweet, I really had a lot of fun with Tadashi and Akiko…and their friend Yumi, who came along to help out.
To see a slideshow starring the lovely newlyweds, click below:

They stayed right on the beach in Waikiki at the Outrigger Reef Resort.
Akiko, you are gorgeous!
Off the crowded beach of Waikiki, we found this quiet, romantic little garden. The light was beautiful.
Love this scene with Diamond Head in the background.
The photo below was taken by Scott Moffat, who was assisting me. With the harsh sunlight beating down on us that afternoon, we needed a little reflector action.
This girl has style! Love those feathers!

Such a sweet couple!
