Family beach photography at Kawela Bay

Sometimes people end up in Hawaii by chance. They tag along for a family reunion or make the long journey to attend a wedding. If you traveled this far, you might as well make the most of it with a mini family vacation. Seek out a secluded beach. Circle the island in search of sea turtles. Or just relax by the shore at sunset. There are so many ways to make it memorable.

Joanna and her family were attending a wedding at Turtle Bay Resort and decided to squeeze in a family photo shoot. They wanted a bit of greenery and loved the sinuous roots of the banyan trees. We opted for quiet Kawela Bay. Other than a group of people on horseback, we had the bay to ourselves.

Sun light broke through the trees, creating a dreamy haze as we explored the forest. The boys were delighted to climb and search for the perfect stick and their laughter echoed through the trees. Slowly, we made our way to the shore to splash along its edge. It was a lovely, peaceful evening.
