Quality family photographers in O’ahu Hawai’i should have awesome people skills on top of solid photography skills. The most overlooked aspect of finding a photographer is their personality.
We researching for a family photographer we usually get stuck on style and price. Both are important, but so is the photographers’ ability to engage your crew – no matter their age.
Look, if the kids aren’t having a good time, no one is. More time, “just a little longer,” isn’t going to make it better or get you better photos.

Family photos with a preschooler and infant are some of my favorite. Three year olds just tell you like it is and I LOVE that.
Like all preschool boys, he wasn’t totally into the photo thing. He wasn’t fully on board with ‘helping’ or playing with his 9 month old his sister. either.
I didn’t force it. We played. We ran, chased, splashed, and took breaks when he needed.
If you’re on the fence about doing photos because of the temperament of your small crew, you just need to find the right photog 😉
In the end, this gallery was TWICE as big as my usual because we had so much fun.

Hi! I’m Alison, your chaos coordinator, toddler briber, and parent commiserator. Oh! And Oahu family photographer!
As the ringleader of my own 4-boy circus, I know how hard getting family photos can be.
I run my photo session like a party. I give you something TO DO so you don’t feel awkward wondering, “Where do I put my HANDS?!”
Dad is playing with the kids, everyone forgets what’s ACTUALLY happening, and you look amazing bc you’re actually enjoying yourself. #whoknewphotoscouldbefun
Fast. Fun. Done.
There’s nothing easy about family photos
There’s a lot of decision making that can be overwhelming:
- what to wear
- where to go
- what sizes to print
I want to make it as easy as possible for you and that starts well before the session with Wardrobe. . Every client gets access to Style & Select. If Pinterest and Stitch Fix had a baby this would be it. Everything is vetting for colors, patterns & textures that look good in camera by photographers for family photography.
I’ll be your second opinion & sounding board. Send me screenshots of what you’ve got, your ideas and I’ll give you all the direction you need!
At the gallery reveal, everyone is welcome! Its virtual so the only limited is opinions – ha! But I’m sure that will be overflowing too!
In the end, you’ll have more than digital files lost on a hard drive. You’ll have heirloom-quality photographs on your walls or in your hands. That’s my full service approach.
The best part: Everyone in the clan will have access to the matching digital files.
Now for something more serious…
I hate to go morbid on you, but my own experience says I have to share. You may never get the chance to do photos with these people again. There will come a time when you will wish you had more photos. Usually by then its too late.
What You Wear Matters
I tried to avoid it for years. But the fact is it matters.
It may not make or break the anything, but planning out the details of undergarments, colors and movement will go a long way to a great experience and even better photos!
