Family Photography - Honolulu Waikiki Oahu

Fun & Creative Beach & Sunset Oahu Family Portraits!

Honolulu & Waikiki family portrait sessions are outdoors on location, typically at the beach or a local park but can be done nearly anywhere. Lightness Photography is an Oahu family photographer offering one of a kind, stunningly gorgeous, family portraits on the sun drenched beaches and sunsets of Hawaii. Our Oahu family photography sessions are for families of all sizes and ages, from toddlers all the way up to their doting grandparents. We love kids and have lots of patience and experience working with both energetic and shy young ones.

Your Oahu family portrait session can be held almost anywhere, from nearby parks to deserted, off-the-beaten-path beaches and we will happily recommend the best location that fits your needs and desires. Family beach photography in Oahu can be anytime of day, from sunrise to sunset, though morning is often best for families with very young kids.

We believe life should be fun - it's when we play and have fun that our truest self shines through! And family photography in Oahu is at its best when it captures that inner shine while simultaneously celebrating your connection with family.

“We hired Brett to do our family trip photo shoot when we visited Oahu. We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, all the pictures he took. He was so good at what he does and he did an exceptional job. He took many creative pictures that we would have never imagined taking. With kids, it is usually hard to get a good family picture. However, Brett was so good with the kids that we did not have any issues getting our photos taken :). Thank you Brett for the amazing photos and your professional, fun attitude! Highly recommended!” - Gana S.

After The Session
After your session, your Oahu family photographer will upload your SOOC images to an online gallery for viewing, downloading and selecting the images you want edited. In your gallery, you'll be able to purchase prints as well as additional edited images if you desire (see our FAQ’s page for more info). Once you've decided on the prints and sizes you'd like to order, we will do a final touch up edit on your selected images before sending them to the printer.

Besides the usual prints, there are many other great products that you may enjoy, such as custom crafted collages (see images below), canvas fine art, albums, photo books and more.
