When Krissy first reached out to me about their family session, she already knew she wanted to have her family session at Lanikai. This beach is special to them because it’s “their beach!” I love when my clients choose locations that mean something to them. A year ago, it was just the two of them and their sweet puppy, Cooper on the beach at sunrise. Oh how things have changed! This year, they’re waking up before sunrise as a family of three.

This sweet family is heading back to the east coast next year (thank you Navy), so having their family documented on “their beach” at their favorite time of day, was no coincidence. As military families, we often have to say “good-bye” to places we’ve learned to call home. I cannot think of a better way to document this time in their lives than a family session on Lanikai beach.

If you’re reading this and wondering why this post is not an engagement session or wedding, you’re probably not alone. I do offer family sessions on a limited basis throughout the year! If you’re looking for a femily session with me, the best time to book is 3 months in advance!
