Family Reunion Photographer | Koolina Lagoons, Oahu

The Reunion

When you live in Minnesota and have family in Singapore, Hawaii makes the perfect reunion destination. They simply had to meet in the middle. Still, it was a big trip for all involved and one they didn’t want to forget. A family photo session was the perfect way to capture the candid moments of joy and laughter as they met again and played together on a sun-soaked Hawaii beach.

A Happy Group

Kirsten and her family made reservations at the Four Seasons in peaceful Koolina, Oahu. To keep things easy for the big group, we stayed nearby with an early morning visit to Paradise Cove Beach.

A light breeze welcomed us to the little cove which was empty save a small flock of shorebirds. They darted artfully along the beach seeking treasure while avoiding waves.

The sun was slow to wake that morning, but the group was in high spirits. We played nonsensical games, ridiculous enough to make the tweens belly laugh and searched for our own treasures in the cove. Even the men who declared the perfect photo session would be 5 minutes long got swept up into the fun. Time passed quickly before our natural timer – a hungry toddler – told us it was time to leave.

The sun had begun to shine and crowds were filtering into the cove for their own morning of beach fun. With promises to return, we gave one last longing glimpse at the cove and succumbed to growling bellies. Until next time.
