Oahu family photography sessions are kind of like beachside magic! You show up with sunscreen, maybe a little skepticism about wrangling toddlers, maybe an aloha shirt, and leave with a camera roll full of moments you’ll want to relive forever.
For the Dau family, this was their first time doing family pictures on vacation, and what a perfect choice! Kualoa Beach Park gave us those dreamy Jurassic-style mountains, soft sand, and just the right dose of breeze to keep things playful. It was, in a word, epic! Keep reading to see their beautiful morning with their sweet girls…



This sweet family of four is no stranger to annual photo traditions. But doing it in Hawaii at Kualoa Beach Park? That hits differently. The warm light, the turquoise waves, the way time seems to slow down just enough to let you really see each other. Vacation really is the best time to hit pause and capture the beauty of right now.
Their sweet girls, Emma and Allie, came ready to pose (twinning too!) with the kind of enthusiasm usually reserved for birthday cake and splash pads. They gave us their best, bright smiles for our Oahu family photographer, who also captured a few candid ones, too! Sometimes, those candid, curious, “I’m gonna do my own thing” toddler moments end up being the most treasured of all!









Mahalo for trusting us with your first vacation portrait session! You brought the joy, the laughter, and the kind of love that makes our job so fulfilling. Here’s to many more years of beautiful memories, and we know these will be some of your favorites in your family album!

When Joe reached out to us, he had a plan, a brilliant, heartwarming, sneaky little plan. He told Leilani they were just taking couples portraits on their Hawaii vacation. A fun photo session, nothing out of the ordinary. But hidden behind the casual smiles and hand-holding on the itinerary? A ring and a once-in-a-lifetime surprise
