Kona Family Photography

creating and capturing memories that will last long after you’ve left the Hawaiian sunshine behind

Your time on the Big Island is more than a vacation—it’s a rare pause in the rhythm of busy lives, a chance to reconnect and just be with the people you love most. Whether you’ve traveled far for a once-in-a-lifetime family holiday, have found time for an intimate babymoon or are celebrating a mile-stone life change like an anniversary or upcoming graduation with a trip to Hawaii, this time together deserves to be remembered.

As a Kona-based family , maternity and high school senior photographer, I work with families who want more than just posed portraits—

you want photographs that feel alive, full of movement, laughter, and love

you want to genuinely enjoy your time on the shoot

you want the beauty of a Hawaiian beach sunset or sunrise to be the backdrop

you want a photographer who gives you guidance about what to wear and how to pose without it feeling awkward

you want a meaningful, fun experience and a collection of beautiful, natural images that will become part of your family’s story for generations.

Why Work With Wendy?

With over 20 years of experience, I specialize in creating fun, relaxed, and beautiful family photo sessions in Kona and along the island’s most scenic beaches. I know how much effort goes into planning a Hawaii family vacation, and I’m here to make your photo session seamless and stress-free. From selecting the perfect Big Island photo shoot location to providing expert advice on what to wear and how to prepare, I take care of every detail. My local knowledge allows me to choose the perfect sunset or sunrise beach based on your family.

Unlike most family photoshoots, all high-resolution images are included with your session, with no extra fees or upsells. You’ll walk away with a full gallery of images you can download, print, and share freely. If you’re looking for a Kona family photographer who combines experience, creativity, and a warm, fun approach, I’d love to help you capture your time on the Big Island in a way you’ll treasure forever.
