“There’s a certain kind of closeness that only families know,
It begins with childhood trust and increases as you grow.
It’s a very special feeling to know your family’s there,
It’s a tie you can rely on, a bond you’ll always share.
As a member of this family we know that we belong,
We’re proud to say we’re family, together we are strong.
Of all the blessings we may have, our family means the most,
And whether we live near or far, that bond will keep us close.”

Spending time with this gorgeous family made me feel so inspired. They gave me so much to look forward to when thinking of my own family. Parenting is an extremely tough job - it’s not for the faint of heart. You question everything that involves your children everyday. But when you are lucky enough to meet parents like you see in these photos and their kids, you can’t help but be encouraged by the work they have put into strengthening the love and family ties. I can only hope to be as successful at it. Thank you for such a wonderful and beautiful evening on the beach. I loved spending time with you all!
Much aloha,
