The LaRouche & Schreiber’s Big Island family portrait session felt like one of those moments you instinctively know matters. Old Kona Airport Beach set the scene with its open shoreline and golden light, but the real magic came from who was standing together in front of the camera. This wasn’t just a vacation stop; it was a gathering shaped by intention, love, and the quiet understanding that time is something you choose to honor.
Their family visits Hawaii whenever they can, making a point to travel with their two endlessly energetic boys, who have completely fallen in love with the Big Island. From swimming with turtles in the lagoon to exploring hidden gems recommended by locals, this family thrives on adventure and discovery. Hawaii isn’t just a destination for them, it’s a place layered with memories, laughter, and sun-soaked days that linger long after the trip ends. This family portrait was pretty special, as you’ll see below!








What made this visit especially meaningful was the presence of both grandparents. It had been years since they were all together here! And there was a shared awareness that this moment was rare. This gathering felt like a gift for everyone. One that deserved to be paused, noticed, and preserved. They know and deeply value quality time together.
Their Big Island family portrait session unfolded naturally, less about posing and more about connection. Grandparents surrounded by grandchildren, arms linked, laughter slipping in between frames. These are the kinds of family portraits that go beyond photos; they become touchstones. Proof of togetherness. Evidence of love that spans generations.





Family portraits like these create space for bonding in the middle of a busy life. They ask everyone to slow down, stand close, and be fully present. For the LaRouche & Schreiber family, this Big Island evening was super special, not just because of where they were, but because of who they were with, making memories they’ll carry forward for years to come. And Big Island with its natural lava rocks and pastel sky was the perfect setting for this special vacation!





Mahalo for trusting us to capture such a meaningful chapter of your story. It was truly an honor to photograph your family together, especially with multiple generations gathered in a place you love so deeply. We hope you come back again soon!

David had been rehearsing this moment, a Maui proposal portrait, in his head for weeks… the words, the timing, the way he’d lead Maria across the sand as if they were simply taking a sunset stroll. But nothing could have prepared him for how perfect it all became at Southside Beach. The soft Maui light
