Some milestones are too special not to capture. For the Leatherman family, their Oahu family portrait session at Haiku Gardens wasn’t just another set of photos; it was a celebration of fifteen beautiful years together. After all, their original wedding photos didn’t capture the love they share, so this time, they set out to get it right. And to include their kids in the story, too! They dressed as if it were their wedding da,y and so did their adorable boys!
Set against the lush greenery and tropical stillness of Haiku Gardens, their session felt joyful and effortless. The energy was lighthearted and fun, exactly the way family portraits should be. Between candid giggles and quiet in-between moments, you could feel just how much love and history this family shares.





That’s the beauty of family photography in Hawaii: it’s not just about perfect poses or matching outfits. It’s about capturing connection, joy, and the small gestures that tell a family’s story. Every hug, every laugh, every glance becomes part of something timeless. These new photos will mean so much to them, especially since their boys are included in their “new wedding photos!”
Our candid photography style is all about that, letting families be themselves. No forced smiles, no awkward pauses, just authentic, genuine moments that show who they are. And for the Leathermans, that meant playful laughter with their kids, sweet glances between two people who’ve shared a lifetime, and the warmth of knowing they’ve built something beautiful together. The tropical setting with the lush greenery and banyan trees added to the beauty of their Oahu family portrait. We know these tropical memories will make up for their wedding photos from long ago! We’re all for the tropical romance vibe!








Fifteen years later, these portraits aren’t just replacements for old wedding photos; they’re proof of love that has grown stronger, fuller, and more radiant with time. Congratulations, Leatherman family! Here’s to love, legacy, and the beauty of every chapter yet to come!
