Off The Beaten Path
Jennell and Christian lived in Kailua while they completed their medical residencies years ago, so it has a special place in their hearts. When Christian’s parents started planning a big celebration and family reunion in Hawaii for their 40th anniversary, they suggested finding a home in their old stomping ground. After a bit of searching […]
Pirates in Honolulu? Thar be pirates in Honolulu, argh! At least that’s what my friend told me (my apologies for the pirate talk, I shall refrain until international talk like a pirate day). More importantly, said pirates had a deal on Groupon where you could set sail with them for a fair price. I had […]

Oh, I love big family groups on vacation! Okay, this group wasn’t really all that big – parent’s celebrating their anniversary along with their sons and their son’s families. Collectively they have four kids under four and that makes the group feel bigger with all the noise and chaos that accompanies the very small. They […]

Amber had an unfortunate newborn photography experience. That can be especially disappointing with your first and only child. Everything is so new and exciting and you want to hold on to those first moments as a family. Of course you’re just so tired, it’s hard to really process any of it. Personally, I wouldn’t remember […]

A fun venue for kids and adults alike Gunstock Ranch has the coolest kids birthday party on Oahu. Seriously, they have everything you can think of. Pony rides and a petting zoo you would expect, but they also throw in a playground, lawn games, swimming pool, covered pavilion and campfire. Nancy took it a step higher […]
Bellows Beach is one of my favorite spots on the island. The area by the guard shack is my absolute favorite at low tide because you have a shallow expanse of water that is perfect for babies and toddlers to splash in. Throw in a sunrise and a layer of mist hanging over the horizon […]

I’ve driven past Kokololio Beach Park in Laie many times. All you can see from the road is a grassy expanse leading to a wall of trees bordering the ocean. Those trees block your view so you can’t see what’s on the other side and I’ve been dying to know what’s there. If you can’t […]

Nicole was traveling to Oahu with her family of four to visit relatives on the north shore, so we scheduled her photo session at Ke iki Beach. I can’t help it. I love that beach. It has mountain views, swaying palm trees, dramatic surf, rugged boulders, tide pools and a wide expanse of beach. What’s […]
An evening with my duo. We stopped at Jack in the Box to squeeze in an hour of beach time (priorities, right?). Well, it was supposed to be an hour running down the sand hill at Kailua Beach Park, but as usual, they ended up in the water. One of these days i’ll remember to […]

Porsche was so excited for her photo session. For inspiration, she created an entire Pinterest board full of lovely family portraits taken on the mainland – grassy fields bathed in soft evening light, warm fall colors, tall boots, and cozy sweaters. Throw in an old barn for some extra ambiance. The were images that make […]

Imagine waking up early to the sounds of birds chirping. You slowly stretch and head outdoors with your morning cup of coffee in hand. You sit down to take your first delicious sip and take in your uniquely amazing surroundings – the U.S.S. Arizona Memorial. Rebecca’s house sits directly across from the monument. The first […]
