Book your Hawaii Photographer
Pricing and booking information for families, groups, and couples
We've all been there: frolicking on a stunning Hawaiian beach, snapping iPhone shots of your kids, only to later discover you're missing from every frame. (Well, except for that one where a stranger captured half your face and completely missed the sunset.)
Time to turn the tide!
At Little Bird Photography, your Hawaii photographer extraordinaire, we make family photos as delightful to capture as they are to admire. Let us whisk you away on a morning adventure that'll change the game.
Here's the scoop: infusing play and adventure into your photo session is our sneaky tactic for bonding your family, igniting laughter and connection.
This lively, spirited approach lets us uncover your true essence, enabling us to craft portraits bursting with personality and love. After all, you deserve more than just a cookie-cutter beach scene.
Let's join forces with your Hawaii photographer and create unforgettable memories that'll have you grinning from ear to ear!
As the warm sun tickles your skin and the ocean breeze playfully ruffles your hair, our talented photographer will snap away, capturing your family's unique story amidst Oahu's jaw-dropping landscapes.
Select a Session
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.
Film + Photo Session
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 record video alongside photos and stitch moments together into a gorgeous memento to watch anywhere (& this time there’s no danger of accidentally taping over it - wink).

Where are you located?
What happens if we book a date and the weather isn’t ideal?
There’s a lot we want to do on this trip - I’m not sure I’ll have time for photos?
How long after our session will I see my images or film? How many images will I receive?
For our family film, can you set my video to our favorite song?
What time should I book my session at?
Not to worry – I photograph dozens of local families and vacationers each year. The overwhelming majority of sessions proceed as scheduled. I check the weather forecast 2-3 days before our session. If rain comes up – we have multiple options! First, Hawaii is full of microclimates, which means that rain is often local – we can drive to a different spot on the island without the rain. Bonus: distant clouds can add beauty and visual interest even more than straight sunshine. Alternatively, we can reschedule for the next day – we tend to plan sessions toward the beginning of your trip to give us that buffer if needed. I have never been unable to get great images for someone because of the weather. I will watch the forecast for you and present a game plan if need be.
I get this, I’m every bit as in love with Hawaii as you are (or will be!). This is why when you book me, I become part travel agent: I learn more about your family and put a lot of thought into where I suggest we go and do. I’ve been exploring the island with my own kids for over 11 years and I know what meshes with interests, ages, and stages.
Photos aren’t a separate ‘thing to do’ in a sense – you spend quality time together, actually enjoy it, and come away with beautiful visual memories. Let me help you acclimate to the island, show you a few secret spots, and send you off to the rest of your vacation! Several clients have told me their session was the highlight of the trip.
