Aloha from the Garden Isle!

As a Kauai family photographer based in Princeville, I’m excited to share some of my favorite family portraits from 2025 — captured amidst Kauai’s breathtaking beaches, lush mountains, and vibrant sunsets. Through my work, I specialize in creating heartfelt, timeless images that celebrate your family’s unique bond.

Whether you’re visiting Kauai for a vacation, family reunion, or milestone, my 2025 portfolio showcases the joy, connection, and natural beauty of family moments set against the island’s stunning landscapes.

Why Kauai is Perfect for Family Photography

‍Known as the Garden Isle, Kauai offers unmatched scenery — from the dramatic Na Pali Coast to serene Hanalei Bay, vibrant Shipwrecks Beach, and majestic Tunnels Beach. These iconic backdrops turn family portraits into genuine works of art.

As a professional Kauai photographer with over a decade of experience, I know how to read natural light and conditions to craft vibrant, candid images that tell your family’s story. In 2025, I was honored to photograph families from around the world, capturing their laughter and love in Kauai’s paradise.

Why Choose Me as Your Kauai Family Photographer

Most people feel a little awkward in front of the camera — that’s normal! I have years of experience helping real families (not models!) look and feel like themselves. I gently guide you so you’re never wondering “What do I do with my hands?” — but I also give you space to just be present with your loved ones.

I believe the best family photos happen when you’re relaxed and having fun. We’ll mix classic posed portraits (perfect for your wall) with candid moments that capture genuine connections.

Lighting and Kauai’s incredible scenery shape everything about your images. The island reflects the feeling of wonder and awe you want — and my job is to work with the light and landscapes to flatter you beautifully.

Pro Tips for your Kauai Family Photoshoot

Here are my top tips to help you get the most out of your Kauai family photography session:
‍

Time It Right: Book sunrise or sunset sessions for the best light — photography is all about good light!‍
Choose Iconic Locations: Consider places like Hanalei Bay, Tunnels Beach, Shipwrecks Beach, or one of Kauai’s many epic spots.
Coordinate Outfits: Opt for neutral or pastel colors to complement Kauai’s lush scenery. Solid colors usually look better than loud prints, which can be distracting.
Let Kids Be Kids: Don’t stress — real laughter and play make the best family memories.
Book Early: Summer and holiday seasons fill up fast, so plan ahead if you can.
