I have been sitting on these photos for months meaning to put them in a blog post to share them.  At the end of January our family went to Hawaii with my parents, sister and niece.  This is usually an annual thing, however this may have been our last trip :(  While there I wanted to get lots of photos of the girls, though they were less then thrilled so we didn't go scoop out locations as much as I wanted, but instead used what was around us.  Still worked!  My favorite photos though are our family photos done at a beach called "Slaughterhouse Beach" in Maui, great name, huh!  Haha.  Here's some favorites from our shoot.

Here are some more from other mini sessions I had with the girls.  P.s. shooting on the beach when the sun sets over the ocean is HARD.  Sun was super harsh all the way till sunset!
