Oahu Baby Photographer | Celebrate One!

First Words

Do you remember that first “no” uttered from your sweet baby? Maybe tentative and timid at first and then growing in confidence and volume as they experience the real power of the word? We were able to capture that sweet and salty kind of no on video. Although, honestly, baby Mari is such a gentle soul I can’t imagine her ever raising her voice in frustration. Capturing that sweet “no” along with beautiful moments that will change so quickly as she embraces toddler-hood makes me happy. It’s good to be an Oahu baby photographer.

A Beach to Ourselves

We spent a beautiful morning together in Waimanalo Beach with a sun rise softened by the clouds. Mari delighted in the sand between her fingers and beamed at the ocean. She darted towards the water at every chance to fling her little body at the waves. After she tired of the waves, we retreated to the forest for a little celebration. She had just turned one and celebrated with family, but her first cake was saved for today. Her first sugar experience was a decadent sampling from Uncle Tetsu’s bakery in Waikiki. Slowly, carefully, Mari touched and then smashed the beautiful cakes. It didn’t register as food until mom fed her a strawberry. Strawberries and cream was the decided winner, but the cakes were better for smashing.
