The morning started with soft sunlight, two sandy toddlers, and the kind of calm only Kalapaki Beach can deliver. For the Peterson family, this wasn’t just a vacation, it was a long-overdue celebration with a Kauai family portrait. After nearly twenty years since their last big family trip, they finally made it to paradise—together. Maui […]
Some family gatherings are casual. Some are long overdue. And some—like the Vance’s Kauai family portrait session at Waimea Plantation Village—are stories woven with history, heart, and an extra sprinkle of Hawaiian sunset magic. This wasn’t just a trip. It was a pilgrimage of sorts, back to where it all began. In the 1960s, their […]
If there’s one thing the McCoy family’s Kauai family portrait session reminded us of, it’s this: time together is everything. This beautiful family of eight, visiting again after a few trips to the islands, chose Shipwrecks Beach for their session—and wow, did it deliver. The waves rolled in gently, the light turned golden, and the […]
If you’ve ever dreamed of a Kauai family portrait session that’s full of love, golden light, and joyful chaos—this is it. The Kilat family showed up to Shipwrecks Beach at sunset with four families, a whole lot of laughter, and even more love. This wasn’t just a photo session—it was a celebration of connection, togetherness, […]
There’s something magical about family portraits in Kauai, especially when the Luttermoser family is involved. This lively family of four traded their small-town Washington life for a dreamy sunset session at Kealia Beach. With the ocean as their backdrop, their love and laughter shone brighter than the golden hour glow. A Family Adventure on the […]
Some moments are so full of love that they don’t just happen—they radiate. The Swedberg’s Kauai family portrait session at Shipwrecks Beach? Yeah, it was one of those. Eighteen years of marriage. Countless adventures. And two little girls who are nothing short of adorable miracles. Drew and Elyse’s journey to parenthood wasn’t easy. It was […]

What time of day is best for portraits? Morning or sunset?
Morning and sunset are both great times of day for portraits so it really depends on the look you want for your pictures. Morning sessions give a more tropical look and it’s usually less windy with brighter natural light! Sunset sessions create a warmer light with a beautiful Hawaii sunset in the background.
