You know how this goes: You spend time on a gorgeous beach and snap iPhone shots of your kids - then you'll get home and YOU aren't in any of them.
Yet, you might not be sure how your family would react to an 'official' photo sessions - after all, you're here to have fun.
We believe you don't have to choose between 'fun' and 'photos'. You can adore your images and love making them too.
We are Little Bird (three playful souls who teamed up to make sure someone is always available), here to take the kinds of images you're going to want to print and post everywhere.
Let's go make your next favorite family photo, shall we?
Let's make some memories together!
There will be no 'standing on a beach, hoping everyone cooperates.' As professional Hawaii photographers, we follow the rhythms of your unique family. Your session is not something you “get done” so you can go play - the photos are the play.
Whether you live on island or will visit for the first time, our sessions are a soft place to land. We know the secret spots and will watch the weather, so all you have to do is show up and enjoy. Yes really - we do this week in and week out. We let you keep Hawaii exactly as you remember it, together with your people. Hold this sunrise, this splash, this quiet hug in your hands, always
Remember pushing old family videos into your VCR? The tape went through the little door and memories lit the living room. Magic comes when you add motion and sound. Add a short film to any session, and we’ll bring a videographer to stitch moments together into a gorgeous memento to watch anywhere (& this time there’s no danger of accidentally taping over it - wink).
I’m Heather, principal photographer at Little Bird. I have assembled a team of likeminded photographers who all use the same methods to make sure we offer year-round coverage for playful families across Oahu (my home), Maui, and Kauai.

Oahu is Heather’s home base, and we know every inch and microclimate. One reason we don’t worry too much about weather is because we know which beaches will be sunny when another is rainy - twelve years of experience holding nimble, fun sessions really helps!
One of our favorite places for Maui family photography features beautiful coastal forest, with lush jungle-y trees right next to the ocean. There’s also upcountry Maui for families searching for non-beach scenery. Whatever magic you’re hoping to find, we’ll help.
The pace for Kauai family photo sessions is slow. It has more of a country feel, with a sound track of roosters to go with the waves. As you can only drive around the perimeter, the island nudges you to go on a big adventure.
We love aloha adventures as much as you do! We are all raising our families here - which means we know exactly where to go and what to do. The three of us work together so you never have to worry about whether someone is available for your date (especially if you’re traveling for your session!), but contact us quickly so we can give you first priority!
