Some moments sneak up on you. You don’t realize how much you’ve been waiting for them until you’re standing in the golden light of a Hawaiian beach, looking at the people who make your world whole, and thinking, Wow. This is it.
For the Hall family, this trip to Oahu wasn’t just about stunning views or beachside relaxation (though, let’s be honest, those were a definite plus). It was about something bigger—something that had been years in the making. Their first family portrait as a foursome – better yet an Oahu family portrait!
Nick and Lesley have built a life together over the last 13 years, one filled with love, laughter, and two incredible boys. Mitchell—Nick’s stepson, but in every way his son—is grown now, living three hours away after college. Braxton, their youngest, is about to turn seven, with the boundless energy and excitement that only a soon-to-be birthday boy can have. With 17 years between them, the boys are in completely different phases of life, but here in this moment, on Waialae Beach, they were simply family.
And oh, did they have the best time. Keep reading to see more!










The Best Time
There’s something about being together, really together, that makes you appreciate the little things. The way Braxton looks up to Mitchell. The way Lesley and Nick share a quiet, knowing glance. And the way a single photograph can hold a decade of love, a lifetime of memories, and the promise of so many more.
Most people don’t realize how powerful a family portrait can be—how it freezes time, even just for a moment, and reminds you that no matter how far life takes you, this is your home. The Hall’s Oahu family portrait was that and so much more!




For the Halls, this wasn’t just a photo session. It was a homecoming. And it was perfect. Mahalo for choosing Karma Hill Photography!
