We had the pleasure of capturing portraits to celebrate the 4th birthday of a sweet young child and his loving family. Mama of @OurHuddyBuddy graciously shares her journey of raising a child with Down syndrome, inspiring our hearts with her strength, love, and unwavering dedication.

In all our years capturing family photos, we’ve never seen a family come together with so much love, patience, and playfulness, creating such a warm and welcoming atmosphere for everyone. The older siblings were especially clever, using a mix of playful photo prompts, silly faces, and movie-quote taglines to get their youngest brother to smile, making the session full of laughter and fun.

We loved capturing these scenes:

1. Family Group Portraits

2. Father-Son / Mother-Son

3. Siblings Portraits

4. Solo Children Portraits

5. Couples Portraits

Location: Secret Beach in Kailua-Kona

We’ve carefully chosen a few of our favorite hidden local gems, reserving them exclusively for our client sessions. This special location, nestled along the Kona coast on Queen Ka’ahumanu Highway, provides a secluded and intimate setting perfect for families and couples. We love the ancient Hawaiian fishponds here, which highlight the island’s rich cultural heritage and traditional aquaculture practices, creating a serene and historically significant spot for turtle sightings and exploration.
