Long Overdue – The Kirtland’s Big Island Family Portrait

back

What’s better than a tropical holiday getaway? A tropical holiday getaway with your entire family, of course! The Kirtlands chose the Big Island as the perfect spot to reunite for the holidays, and it was nothing short of magical. While most had visited before, this was the first time with the kids in tow—making it extra special! So this special family vacation calls for a Big Island family portrait!

With grandparents flying in from Seattle, one branch of the family from San Francisco, and another from sunny San Diego, this was the first time everyone had gathered in quite a while. So, naturally, capturing these moments at Puaoa Bay Beach was high on their to-do list!

The morning couldn’t have been more perfect. The bright, sunny light filtered through the palms, creating the ideal backdrop for their family portraits. From posing by the shimmering water to sharing laughs under the swaying trees, every frame radiated love, warmth, and a touch of that Big Island magic.

The kids were thrilled to be in paradise, enjoying some much-needed playtime while everyone soaked up the sun and embraced the relaxed island vibe. It was clear how much joy this time together brought to everyone, and those feelings shone through in every photo.

For a family that doesn’t take a ton of group photos—especially professional ones—this session was a treat. The Kirtlands now have a beautiful set of memories to look back on, capturing a rare and wonderful time when they were all together! One thing we know for sure is you will never regret taking a family portrait even if it does take some wrangling with kiddos and organizing everyone together!

Here’s to the Kirtlands and the priceless moments now forever preserved in their family album. Cheers to family, love, and creating memories to last a lifetime! We hope you have a great time in Hawaii!
