Hansen Ohana | Kualoa Regional Beach Park | Oahu Family Photographer

Meeting the Hansen Ohana was such a pleasure and quite the quick encounter. I met Colter on a Friday afternoon at a networking meeting he was visiting while in Oahu for a family vacation. As fate would have it, we got to talking and between 2pm on a Friday and 6pm the following day, we had booked his session, informed his wife to start setting out wardrobe for the three girls and met at Kualoa Regional Beach Park for their session. Oh and side note, 24 hours after the session we met for their Image Reveal and ordering session…now hows that for a fast editing turn around time (this is not normal fyi LOL). The Hansen’s were starting their one year long journey of traveling the US in an RV (well, the officially started the RV thing on the mainland but Hawaii was their first destination on their epic sabbatical). After Colter took some drone footage of the beautiful Ko’olau mountains on one side and and the ocean on the other, we began the photoshoot, which to me seemed more like playtime with their three beautiful daughters more than anything. I love my job. How beautiful is this family? I mean!

Island Adventure - Location Scouting with Gloria | North Shore Oahu Hawaii Photographer

Out location scouting for an upcoming video project with my girl, and fellow photographer Gloria of Gloria Posada Photography and we found ourselves at Kualoa Ranch Beach Park, Kahana Bay and Dole Plantation

 

Nature never ceases to amaze me. I've always been fascinated with trees and flowers and being outdoors. I fell in love with the texture of this weathered tree and this driftwood just spoke to me and begged me to turn it into a black and white photo. Hawaii has no shortage of awesome stuff to photograph so go out and find some cool stuff!

Always loved finding little rocks and shells as a kid. This little guy just spoke to me and I had to photograph him, he is so cute and small in contrast to the Ko'olau Mountains in the background. 

Gloria squealed with delight as she found a childhood favorite plant, the Mimosa Pudica which closes or sleeps when touched. 

Found this little beauty while grabbing a pineapple dole ice cream.

Yeah for girlfriends on a Friday that are as obsessed with their camera as me. Thanks Gloria for coming along on the mini island adventure. Always more fun to explore with a friend! The giggles were a bonus and much needed therapy after a long week.
