The Schumacher-Waterman family recently came together for a heartwarming Big Island family portrait session at Puako Beach. What made this gathering even more special was the occasion—a family trip to honor the memory of their beloved grandparents, marking the one-year anniversary of their passing.
Under the sun, this beautiful family coordinated effortlessly in blue and white, with denim tying their look together in a cohesive, casual, yet polished way. The color scheme perfectly complemented the serene blues of the ocean and the soft whites of the sandy shore.
The session was filled with love, laughter, and a touch of nostalgia. From paired-up couple shots to individual portraits, every moment captured their joy and the deep bonds they share. You could see the sparkle in their eyes as they smiled, hugged, and genuinely enjoyed their time together. This was a wonderful way to mark the end of the year with a beautiful set of family photos too!
Taking these portraits at Puako Beach, with its iconic tide pools and dramatic lava rock formations, added an extra layer of magic to the session. The setting served as a peaceful, beautiful backdrop for their Big Island family portraits.
This session was more than just a photoshoot; it was a celebration of family and a tribute to the legacy left by their grandparents. We can only imagine the pride and joy their grandparents would feel, looking down on this happy, united group.
The Schumacher-Waterman family now has a stunning set of photographs to add to their album—a heartfelt keepsake that will remind them of this meaningful time for years to come. What a wonderful way to honor the past while embracing the present and looking forward to the future! Aloha!
