the royal hawaiian hotel is one of the most iconic buildings on waikiki beach! it has beautiful architecture and a great little stretch of beach. i love taking photos in the gardens as well. so many great spot to choose from! when your longtime friends come for their annual family photo session with you- and tell you they are staying at the royal hawaiian hotel- you go do photos there! mornings are beautiful and if lucky- we get an empty beach and some silly memories to last a lifetime. A few headshots for a new website as well? yes please! go check out tracytayama.com for some wonderful, whimsical, watercolor art with hawaii and california inspiration and find which images tracy used from our session here!
