Some moments deserve to be frozen in time: the laughter, the generations, the quiet joy of simply being together. For the Pizula family, their Hawaii family portrait at Pauoa Bay Beach was more than just a photo session; it was a celebration of love, legacy, and the beautiful, ever-growing story of their family.
They gathered on the golden shores of the Big Island to honor a truly special milestone, Steve and Holly’s 70th birthdays. The session was a heartfelt gift from their four grown children, a way to express gratitude for everything, celebrate how far they’ve come, and capture the joy of everything still to come! Please keep reading to see more of their lovely session with us!








And what a season of joy it is! Their adorable two-year-old granddaughter toddled through the sand, adding giggles and energy to every frame. One sister beamed with the excitement of her engagement; another glowed as she awaited her first baby with her husband; and another, the voice behind this thoughtful gift, carried twins soon to join the family adventure. So many milestones, all converging beneath the Hawaiian sky.
That’s what makes a Big Island family portrait so extraordinary: it’s not just about beautiful backdrops (though Pauoa Bay delivered its magic). It’s about preserving a moment in time when life feels full, hopeful, and deeply connected. These photos will one day remind them of the laughter that echoed between the palms, the gentle ocean breeze, and the feeling of being exactly where they were meant to be: together.






Happy birthday, Steve and Holly! And here’s to the growing generations that will carry your love forward! Mahalo for letting us capture this special family moment! We hope you have the best time celebrating with your family!
