What’s more fun than running around the beach with kids close in age? We had a blast taking this family to our favorite iconic white sandy beach for their session. Even when their toddler wasn’t in the mood to smile, we pulled out all the tricks—silly faces, playful antics, and plenty of laughs—to capture a sunset session filled with genuine smiles and fun moments.

What we love about this location is as the sun dips below the horizon, the sky bursts into a kaleidoscope of warm colors, providing the perfect natural lighting for unforgettable photos. The beach’s relatively secluded location ensures a peaceful, intimate atmosphere, making it a fantastic choice for families, couples, and individuals seeking a relaxed and picturesque setting.

We loved capturing these scenes:

1. Family Group

2. Playing Tag around Parents

3. Up in the Sky / Airplane

4. Father Son / Mother Daughter

5. Solo Children Portraits

Location: Mahai’ula Beach

Surrounded by rugged lava rocks and palm trees, Mahaiula Beach offers an idyllic setting for a leisurely day in paradise or a beautiful backdrop for photography. This hidden gem is less crowded than some of the island’s more famous beaches, making it ideal for those seeking a peaceful escape. The beach features golden sands, crystal-clear waters, and stunning views of the Pacific Ocean. Whether you’re looking to relax in the sun or capture the stunning coastal scenery, Mahaiula Beach is a true Hawaiian treasure.
