Some Oahu family portraits feel like full circles, and for the Lee family, this one was exactly that! They first visited Oahu in 2014 for their honeymoon, just two people in love, toes in the sand, hearts full of plans. Now, they’ve returned a decade later with their two beautiful kids and Stella’s parents, turning that romantic beginning into something even more meaningful: a family legacy captured by the ocean at Wai’alae Beach.
Their portraits were bright, airy, and effortlessly beachy. Everyone wore shades of white, simple yet classic, which perfectly complemented the soft blues of the sea and sky. The sunlight poured across the sand, giving every image that dreamy glow Oahu does best. There was laughter, looking for ocean treasures, and plenty of hugs that spoke louder than words. Watching the grandparents smile at their grandkids was so sweet to see. They had so much fun and soaked up the moment of just being together as a family….





A Hawaii vacation is the perfect time to slow down and hold on to what matters most. Between the waves and the morning light, these moments become keepsakes, stories you’ll look back on when the kids are grown and the memories start to blur.
That’s the beauty of Oahu family portraits: they’re more than just pictures. They’re proof of togetherness, of how every season of life weaves into the next. You could see it in the way the Lees looked at each other, full of pride, tenderness, and gratitude for the life they’ve built since that first honeymoon trip.
This session was more than just an Oahu family portrait; it was a moment to pause and honor their story. To slow down in the middle of life’s chaos and celebrate their family. And what better place to do that than beneath palm trees and the warm Hawaiian sun, with the ocean sparkling in every direction?
