Making It Count – The Swain’s Big Island Family Portrait
Let’s be honest: family photos with kids can feel like herding cats, especially when those kids would rather be climbing trees, chasing lizards, or running full speed into the nearest tide pool. The Swains know this well, which is exactly what made their Big Island family portrait session at Old Kona Airport Beach so memorable and meaningful.
Lindy and Mark are celebrating their 15th wedding anniversary this year (yay!), and Lindy had just turned 40 (double yay!). This trip was a celebration in every sense, made even more special by having Mark’s parents, Lee and Debbie, along for the adventure. With three generations all together, capturing these fleeting, sandy-footed moments felt more important than ever.
And yes, the kids (Penny, 11; Oscar, 8; and Archer, 7) ended up giving us gold. Real smiles, real laughter, and just the right amount of mischief.
Oscar and Archer brought their explorer energy, darting off toward the rocks and shells like they were on a mission. Penny brought quiet charm and big-sister poise. And somewhere between climbing, giggling, and tolerating group poses, the Swains gave us exactly what we love most: real, joy-filled family magic.
These portraits aren’t just photos, they’re memories wrapped in sunlight and ocean breeze. Proof that even the most reluctant participants can help create something extraordinary. They had the best time and that’s why Hawaii makes family portraits so relaxed…beach, sun, ocean, what more do you need to have a good time? Three generations all in one…
