Family Session | Black Sand Beach, Hilo, Hawaii

Not in a thousand years did I ever picture myself in this spot, doing this thing! A Family Session on a black sand beach! Wow. What an amazing experience to spend time with the beautiful family as we explored the insanely beautiful black sand beach. It was actually with a group of photographers as we got together to challenge each other and push ourselves creatively to grow and be able to offer more and more to our clients in terms of art and beauty.

This particular spot is special to this family who live on this island. Even more insanely special is that we didn’t know that their 4th family member was already present and just a tiny little bean! They will forever have these photos, and be able to return to this spot as a family. Wow.

So how does this beautiful black sand happen?

Hawaii Island’s ebony shores unfold a tale of volcanic artistry. As molten lava meets the ocean, alchemy occurs, crafting stunning black sand beaches. This mesmerizing fusion of fire and water leaves a unique footprint on the island’s captivating landscape, a testament to nature’s ever-evolving canvas. Explore these shores and discover the enchanting narrative etched in each grain of volcanic elegance.

It just makes SO much sense to me to embrace this artistry and let it make it’s own gorgeous backdrop to a family session! Oh my goodness I absolutely cannot wait to go back and if you’re planning a vacation on the Hawaii Islands, I’m your vacation photographer! Or, if you’re not sure of where you’d like to go, and would like to have a family session, what better than planning your vacation around your session? You can explore, and have a Family Session on a black sand beach. What a dream!
