Off The Beaten Path
A Peaceful Evening at Kualoa Beach There’s something about this part of the island that makes you feel as if you’ve gone back in time. The pace is slower here. Waves lap gently along the shoreline and car sounds are exchanged for the rustling of tree leaves and bird song. The calm, clear sea stretches […]
I was immediately bedazzled by tiny Chloe. We met for a consultation beforehand to talk about great photo locations, and the best time of day, and what to wear, and all that fun stuff. Only I hard time focusing with this wide-eyed, curious, toddler checking me out. I just wanted to sit on the ground […]

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.

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 […]
