Hawaii Family Videographer : A Relaxing Babymoon Vacation

Memories of Hawaii

When you were once able to call Hawaii home. When you created a life and a business and memories inspired by water and sunshine, it’s hard to let go. When you were born into that salty, sun-bleached environment and it shaped who you are, it’s even harder. For many of my clients, a trip to Hawaii is returning home. Returning to visit family and soak in the sun or to introduce the next generation to a life they once knew. I feel their nostalgia and excitement and it makes these homecoming sessions some of my favorites.

A Baby on the Way

Life changes dramatically when your family expands from three to four. Sacha wanted to capture all the sweetness (and exasperation) of their current reality, in their favorite setting – the beach. Water has always been a big part of her life. In fact, Sacha was a underwater photographer before it was really a thing. She captured stunning underwater portraits of couples and seniors and families in Hawaii before moving to rain soaked Seattle.

They were drawn to the slow pace of life on Oahu’s windward side and they were hungry. There was no question that our first stop would be one of my favorite places to eat on Oahu  – the Waihole Poi Factory (I recommend the beef luau plate, fresh poi and “sweet lady of Waiahole” for a dessert). With bellies full we continued the meandering drive that takes you precariously close to the water’s edge before plunging you into a tree tunnel dripping with vines. Crowing roosters and bickering Myna birds provide the endless soundtrack for your drive.

Our final destination was Kualoa Beach Park. On this winter weekday, the beach was quiet and empty. The muted blues of Kaneohe Bay stretched out before us and it felt as if we were the only people on the island. The park is a natural playground with trees to climb, sand to dig, and many shells and treasures to be found along the shore. It was a perfect setting to make memories and enjoy their final days as a family of three.
