Waialae Beach Park Sunset Session – Family Photography + One on the Way

Golden hour at Waialae Beach Park always brings the magic—but this session had a little extra glow. With a baby on the way and four joyful kids full of energy, this sunset shoot in Kahala was the perfect mix of celebration, connection, and island calm.

As an Oahu family photographer, I’m often lucky enough to document milestones, but this one was special. It wasn’t just a family portrait session—it was part maternity session, part joyful chaos, and 100% heart.

Waialae Beach Park, nestled just outside Waikiki in the Kahala neighborhood, gave us everything we needed. Wide open sand, gentle waves, and soft golden light that made every moment feel timeless. The kids played barefoot in the tide, chasing each other between shots, while Mom and Dad snuck in a few quiet moments—hands resting on her baby bump, eyes full of love and anticipation.

We captured it all: the whole family laughing together, siblings wrapping around Mom in a warm embrace, and a few intimate portraits of just the parents—marking this chapter of their story before they officially become a family of seven.

The vibe? Relaxed, joyful, and deeply connected. And when the sun dipped below the horizon, the whole beach turned a peachy pink that felt like it was made just for them.
