Oahu Watermelon Childrens Session |
Aloha Family Photography
Lately it's been pretty rainy here on Oahu. Not that it
actually" has been cold. I have considered getting those good
old' fashion toe socks, since I can't seem to not wear flip flops.
We had a few glimpses of sunshine this week. I also managed to make it to the store with all three children. We picked up a ton of fruit, might be because we are trying to eat healthier snacks or it might be for photo shoot... maybe both.. or we're just fruity. My middle child, the only one not born on Oahu, we call her danger, because he outrageous lifestyle and being a tad crazy. She picked the watermelon, and was way to excited to wait till sister got home to share.
It was actually really nice to sit in a soggy field, chase the baby who is crawling and tries to eat grass, and let them just enjoy a tiny bit of sun, and a lot of watermelon.
I hope you enjoyed and if you are looking for family photos, children, or couples photos I would love to talk to you and schedule your photo session.
Oahu Lifestyle Photographer | Aloha Family Photography
Oahu has some pretty amazing beaches and outdoor locations for your photo session. But, outdoors is not the only place to do photos. I love doing in-your-home sessions. They are perfect for families to really capture life at home.
Baking sessions are one of my favorites for in home, they are messy, sweet, and really tug at my heart strings (more on that in a future blog).
Anyways, this family is absolutely amazing, I love their energy, playfulness, and beautiful home on Oahu.
I will be sharing more from this amazing Oahu Lifestyle session in the next couple of weeks.
If you;re on Oahu, visiting, or on another Hawaiian Island, I would love to be your photographer! Contact me for pricing. Hello@AlohaFamilyPhotography.com

Lighting | Tips | Oahu Family Photographer
I would love to go over some quick easy tips about lighting. It is probably one of the most asked questions I get.
"Chelsie, what time will we do out photos?!"
I generally do photos about an hour before sunset. I am not a golden light photographer. I LOVE light, full but soft light. To achieve the look I want, one hour prior to sunset.
There are exceptions but because we never know what the weather will be I plan for an hour before sunset.
The fun thing about being a Mom is that I take so many photos of my kids, so I can go out some days at noon and have perfect lighting. I always keep an eye on the weather. When it's cloudy its generally perfect for that soft creamy light.
Below I will show you some photos at different times.
This was a cloudy day about an hour before sunset.
About an hour before sunset on a sunny day.
Around 2-3pm on a bright sunny day.
Around 11am on a partially cloudy day.
Around sunset on a cloudy day.
A lot of variables go into what the final photos will look like, but that is all part of my job.
I love being able to adjust as needed in camera to get the look I want, then enhance the photos further with presets I make in Lightroom.
