When four families come together under one sky, and on one breathtaking beach, you just know something special is about to happen. The Stewarts’ Big Island family portrait session at Old Kona Airport Beach was more than just a photo op. It was a celebration of connection, legacy, and love.
This incredible group is made up of Active Duty Military, Law Enforcement, and First Responders, real-life heroes who know the value of time together! With busy lives and miles between them, this Hawaii reunion felt even more meaningful. Everyone showed up with open hearts, sun-kissed smiles, and a deep appreciation for simply being together.





From the moment we met them, it was clear: this family is joyful, close-knit, and effortlessly fun. We captured a variety of portraits: big group shots full of energy, heartfelt sibling moments, playful grandkid giggles, and beautifully posed shots of each individual family. Whether they were laughing in the sunlight or posing proudly together, they looked so genuinely happy.
Old Kona Airport Beach, with its rugged lava rocks, towering palms, and soft tones, made for the perfect backdrop. The breeze was light, the kids were laughing, and there was this palpable sense of gratitude in the air.










Photos like these? They’re not just for now. They’re for the walls, the albums, the memories. And they’re for the grandkids to look back on and say, “That’s our family.” And that’s what made this session so special.















To the Stewarts, thank you for your service, your warmth, and your trust in capturing these beautiful moments. You made Hawaii brighter that day!
