Some family photo sessions feel like a checklist item. This Big Island family portrait felt like an extra special occasion. And one that was very important!
For the Meadow family, their Big Island portrait session at Old Kona Airport Beach was more than just a chance to take pictures; it was a moment to pause, to gather close, and to hold onto the kind of togetherness that so often slips past unnoticed.
Old Kona Airport Beach offered the perfect setting: wide-open shoreline, soft sand underfoot, and swaying palms. The kind of place where memories settle gently into your bones. From the very first frame, the Meadows leaned into the experience, choosing more posed portraits that captured not just how they look, but who they are together as one happy family…







Every photograph felt filled with warmth and ease, the kind that only shows up when everyone is truly present. The lava rocks were the perfect setting for their kiddos to pose for us! They laughed, they held still just long enough, and splashed in the water. The joy was palpable just as the sun set in the soft violet sky…
Because family photos, at their core, are about remembrance. About freezing a fleeting season. About saying: This mattered. This moment. This version of us.
And the Big Island? It makes that feeling even bigger. There’s something grounding about the vast lava fields, the endless ocean, the quiet power of the land. It reminds you how precious it is to stand side by side with the people you love most.



For the Meadow family, this session meant everything. And it was a gift to their future selves, a way to remember how it felt to be here, together in paradise.
Because one day, these photos won’t just be beautiful. They’ll be priceless! Mahalo for choosing Karma Hill Photography!

But nothing could have prepared him for how perfect it all became at Southside Beach. The soft Maui light
