Oahu Family Photographer | Sunset Memories in Laie

The Perfect Beach?

As an Oahu family photographer, people often ask if I have a favorite beach for photo sessions on the island. I don’t have a favorite. Not really. I have favorites under certain conditions – the light, the tide, the wind, the crowds – they can all come together to make an epic backdrop or they can be just, meh. It also has to be a good match for the family. For this particular family on this particular day, I couldn’t imagine a more perfect spot than Laie Beach Park.

About the Session

The weather was possibly too nice because the beach was packed on a random weekday. Beach lovers were basking in the sun and dancing in the bright blue waves. We had to get creative and find little nooks for games and laughter. As the crowds began to thin, we made our way to the far end of the beach for a bit of adventure. There, we scaled the cliffs for big views of the coastline and beach below. Crabs scurried along jagged rocks as we slowly crept toward the edge of the cliffs for a peak and the raging surf below. The boys were eager to jump into those waves so they jumped in at the very end.

How old were your children the last time you took family photos?
