Oahu Family Photography

Oahu Family Photography

 

At Sky and Reef Photography, we love capturing Oahu’s Family Photography while serving all Oahu including Waikiki, Ko’olina, North Shore, Kailua. We seek to capture epic shots of your families. We love to photograph both local families and families vacationing from across the globe.

What if 18 years fly by faster than you thought, and before you know it all you’ve got are some cell phone snapshots? What if weeks turn into months turn into years, and you’re left struggling to remember the days when your baby used to fit in your arms?

 

Imagine bottling up your family’s fleeting moments — not only what they look like, but what they feel like. Imagine your family in true-to-life, joyful, connected imagery — and being able to hold those moments in your hands 20 years from now.

I am so excited you are considering Sky and Reef Photography for your Hawaii Family Vacation Photos. While on Oahu, whether you are staying in Waikiki, Ko’olina, North Shore, or renting an Airbnb somewhere in between – Sky and Reef Photography has you covered.

Why Choose Sky and Reef Photography during your

Hawaii Vacation?

 

A MIX OF CANDIDS & POSED

We love to capture a mix of both candids and posed. I normally begin with the traditional looking at the camera style of photos. Then as the shoot progresses and families get less shy. We  then transition to candids that consist of snuggling, running, laughing, climbing, jumping and sand castle building. This mix of shots is a great way to capture the formals as well as the personalities of you as a family. It also makes for a super fun shoot. Almost once a week, I have a family leave my session and tell me this is the most fun they have ever had taking photos. Then I fist pump and say YES!

EXCEPTIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE

Email responses and image turnaround will always be speedy! If you have a special deadline, let me know, I will try to accommodate. 

ENDLESS PATIENCE & ENTHUSIASM

Kids do things on their own terms, as a child photographer I expect this! I’m not upset when your three-year-old has a meltdown or when your son asks to take a picture with my camera. I am a mother of two little ones and I understand the patience it takes to get the perfect shot. 

YES, YOU’RE PHOTOGENIC!

Nobody comes into a session knowing what to do in front of the camera, so it’s my job to coach you! I’ll help you set up each pose and give you little tips to make you look your best. 

LOCATION SELECTION

Do you want palm trees, mountains, greenery, turquoise water, waterfalls? Let me know your vision, I’d love to help you find your perfect location.

PROBLEMS SOLVED BEFORE THEY HAPPEN.

          Rain, Wind, Tantrums. NO WORRIES, I have a plan B!

         I prefer to schedule your family session at the beginning of your trip. no tan-lines or sunburns and we have a rain check option and can change the date just in case. I have backup plans. I am always checking the weather. If we have a significant chance of rain, I will come up with separate location options. 

YOU’LL HAVE A PERSONAL STYLIST.

If you don’t have perfectly Pinterest-styled outfits, that’s TOTALLY OK! We can create gorgeous images no matter what you’re wearing. BUT, if you’re like me and love to plan, I’m happy to help! I’ll send you clothing tips and sample combos for inspiration, or you can even have me choose your outfits for you.

STYLE BOARD/PINTEREST.
