It’s A Party - Keiki’s First Birthday!
In Hawaii, a keiki’s (Hawaiian for child) first birthday is a milestone event to be celebrated. First birthday celebrations have been common for centuries in many cultures around the world as many children didn’t live to the age of one due to the lack of the medical advancements that we enjoy today.
First birthday parties celebrate the start of a long and healthy life as well as offer the entire family another reason to enjoy good food and great company. Some families host parties in their backyards, hiring a photographer and luau vendors, while others have it at the beach or at kid-friendly restaurants. And many families like to capture this significant milestone of their child’s year of life with a 1st Birthday family portrait session.
Below are a few examples of first birthday parties, celebrations and photo sessions I’ve had the privilege of photographing for young keiki’s and their proud and happy parents.
