The Gould family contacted me several months before they would be coming out to stay at Ko olina (home of Disney Aulani and the new Four Seasons Resort) for their family vacation and asked me if I would take some family portraits of them. Of course, I was just delighted!

Instead of staying at the resort for the pictures, we traveled about 15 minutes away to my favorite private little spot on the west side of Oahu. We had a gorgeous night! There was a little wind, but otherwise, the skies were golden and all-around perfect.

The Gould family themselves are all-around perfect, too! The children were very well-behaved and enjoyed their time in front of the camera. Even Grandma and Grandpa came along to get into some of the pictures (I love it when the whole family gets involved)!

Hawaii is a very special place, and it’s even more special when your entire ohana (family) visits—and I love getting to send people home with special memories! If you’re coming to visit Oahu, please contact me so we can book your portrait session!
