Some moments are so precious you want to wrap them in sunshine and keep them forever. That’s exactly what the Cavender family set out to do on their Big Island family portrait. It was a special trip made even more memorable because their little girls had never been to Hawaii before. (Only Chad and Amy had been to Kauai, so this was major family milestone energy!)
With the beach stretching out like a dream and the sea sparkling like it was in on the excitement, we met the Cavenders for a portrait session all about preserving this sweet season of life. Their daughters were pure joy, full of giggles, twirls, and sandy toes. And we could feel just how much this experience meant to all four of them!







The vibe? Bright, airy, and completely magical. Everything from the soft morning light to the ocean breeze cooperated like Mother Nature knew we were trying to freeze time. The Cavenders were dressed in the kind of effortless style that feels beachy and timeless, and their love for one another came through in every frame. (Seriously, they’re the kind of family that makes you want to go hug your own.)
They laughed, they explored, and they soaked in the moment together, just being present. These portraits aren’t just photos, they’re memories of a trip their daughters will one day tell their kids about.









To the Cavenders, thank you for letting us be a part of your Big Island story. We feel honored to bottle up this chapter for you, capturing each sun-drenched moment in every photo. We know how much these photos mean to you and hope you cherish them forever!
