Welcome, Baby | Oahu Newborn Photographer

A Hui Hou, Hawaii | Oahu, Hawaii Family Session

I am so glad we could fit in this farewell to Hawaii session! We had to reschedule which only left a few hours with us both on island. Unfortunately, it was right after this family finished packing. It was an early morning during a stressful time, but mom was so happy to have these pictures. In Hawaii, we say, “a hui hou” which translates to “until we meet again”.

Our Hawaii Bucket List

Oahu might only be 44 miles long, but we’ve already realized there are almost endless things to do here. The boys and I sat down to create our official Hawaii Bucket List. My plan is to blog about each adventure so we can keep track of everything we accomplish. We got three years to get it done…. here we go!
