Family Photo Shoot

Our favorite photographer, while technically maintaining two shops, is mostly in California these days, so it has been hard to get pictures done.  So we turned to our favorite amateur photographer, Uncle Roger!

Since we're in Waikiki now, we figured we'd take advantage of the location and headed down the street to the beach.



Ewan waiting his turn.  He's skeptical about this whole venture.



Liam looking like we don't feed him.  But the background is nice!


It started to rain, so we went over to the Moana Surfrider to continue the shoot.  We had new clothes for the kids to be in, but getting them on was a different story.  Here are Liam's antics as I tried to get some jeans on him.













He looks so proud of himself.  But at least the jeans were on!



Ewan remained a bit skeptical.  Board shorts for the couch?  Really?



Once dressed, Liam posed nicely.  Considering a Gymboree photo shoot next, dude?



Hahaha!  I take it back.  Couches are fun.  Especially with bags.



And this pretty much sums up what we got in terms of a family photo.  Might just have to try this one again.

The boys were getting tired, so we took them back home to see what we could get there.  The light is pretty good, after all.




Ewan looking handsome on the bed.



Liam relishing his role as big brother.



I have a similar photo with Liam at this age, so I wanted one with Ewan.  Of course, Liam photobombed...



...until we included him in the picture too.



What a ham!

Thanks Uncle Roger for helping us catch a slice of life on film!

  1. I don't know how people manage to get nice portraits with kids. I only have luck with candids.

  2. Huh? what happened to my previous comment? Oh well, if it's somewhere in the ether, thanks for the photos.

  3. Hey Dad! Not sure where the other comment went...but you're welcome! Kimmie--the lady we had take our family pictures before is amazing. When Liam was four months old, we did a mini session with her and went away thinking there were no pictures, but she got some amazing photos. We went with her again the following year and Liam was in a bad mood (we later found out it was because he had a fever), but she still managed to get some amazing photos. Of course, she is not cheap. But we were so happy with what we got. I wish she was Hawaii more often. If you ever want to give her work a gander, her company is called Island Style Images.
