Stunning Kukio Beach Sunset Portraits

September 2, 2024

Kukio Beach Family Photos

Kukio Beach is a gorgeous stretch of white sand that is accessed through the entrance of Four Seasons Hualalai Resort. Tell the guard that you’re going to Kukio and they will direct you where to park. Depending on which parking lot is full, you may have a bit of a walk to get where you’re going, but when you see the beach you’ll agree it’s worth it!  It’s a great place for a day at the beach, a sunset stroll, or family portraits.

Lauren contacted me because her family was all together from different places in the world, and wanted to capture those memories with beautiful golden-hour photos. I was out of town, so my husband Ray took these shots (and I edited them). He’s a professional photographer and has such a gentle manner and artistic eye! (Ray also joins me as a second shooter for weddings and books his own portrait shoots as well). 

For me, a beach session is about connection, motion, and golden light. I think Ray did a great job capturing this beautiful session, what do you think?

If you find yourself in Kona with extended family or even a group of friends that don’t live in the same place, make sure you don’t miss the opportunity to capture these moments so you can remember them forever! Print some canvases (it’s easy to click and order through my online galleries!) and hang them on the wall. Let your kids feel connected to their family as well as these special memories and moments that you’ve shared together.

Contact me if you’d like to book a portrait session at Kukio or another beach in the Kona/Waikoloa area.

Here’s a glimpse of Kukio Beach in all of its glory. It was windy this evening, but I like it, how about you?

ABOUT 

Capturing beauty and connecting with people brings me joy. A camera lets me do both!

I picked up a camera and the rest is history. I fell in love. The art of photography, the ability to connect with people, and the chance to do what I adore all inspire me. You can feel it when you're with me. Photography has been such a blessing in my life, and I want to pass that blessing on to you.
