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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

A Sanctuary for Seabirds (and People) August is my favorite time of year to visit Goat Island (Mokuauia Island) in Laie. That’s when you can find newly hatched Wedge-tailed shearwater chicks. Shearwaters are a type of seabird that nest in burrows and the baby chicks look like little gray balls of puff (as in super […]
Ocean Safety the Fun Way I’m excited to share this Keiki Monday with you because it’s a good one. A friend told me about Na Kama Kai which is an ocean safety and conservation education organization for kids. It’s a brilliant concept. You protect what you love and getting kids out on the water inspires […]

A Toddler Adventureland on Oahu The trip to Heeia Pier wasn’t exactly planned. We were enjoying a Jamba Juice following a well-child checkup at the doctor’s office (meaning shots and many fat tears). As we slurped the last of our drinks, I noticed with dismay that we had an hour until nap time. The kids […]

Do you have a train lover in your family? I sure do, although he’s a generalist. Any type of vehicle from surfboard to space shuttle is fascinating and wonderful. At some point, I heard there was a historic train on Oahu. Actually, the words that stuck in my head were “2 hour long ride” and […]
