Happy New Year! I’m excited to share an excerpt from my final family photo session of 2023. This family was documented as part of an extended family photography session. What a delightful way to end the year with a blissful sunset and this radiant family.  I was honored to have been their Disney Aulani Photographer during their stay at the incredible Aulani Disney Resort at Ko’olina.

As the golden sun dipped towards the horizon, I found myself immersed in the enchanting world of this loving family.  Two young daughters, their laughter echoing through the gentle breeze, created a picturesque scene against the backdrop of the setting sun.

The soft, golden light kissed the faces of the family, highlighting their genuine smiles and creating a timeless glow.  The parents, wrapped in an embrace, radiated a sense of contentment and shared joy.  All the while, their two playful daughters giggled to their hearts content.

As their Aulani Photographer and trusted Oahu family photographer, my lens became a storyteller—capturing candid moments of pure happiness. The love within this family was palpable – a bond that transcended the stunning scenery around them. Each photograph told a tale of shared laughter, whispered secrets, and the magic of being fully present.

This session wasn’t just about taking pictures. It was a visual narrative of joy, love, and togetherness—a celebration of what makes family photography in Oahu so meaningful. A huge mahalo, dear family, for the honor of being your Hawaii family vacation photographer and letting me preserve these memories for you.

Wishing everyone the gift of presence in 2024, as well as the bliss that comes from both giving and being surrounded by love in all its wondrous forms.
