Family Portraits Before a Sunset Dinner on Japengo's Ocean Front Terrace

“In the end, kids won’t remember that fancy toy or game you bought them. They will remember the time you spent with them.”

—Kevin Heath

The huge terrace at Japengo Restaurant in Maui offers one of the most convenient and beautiful ocean front settings for family portraits, especially during sunset. Overlooking the ocean and surrounded by lush tropical greenery, the terrace provides a stunning backdrop of golden skies, palm trees, and tranquil waters. The warm lighting at dusk creates a soft, natural glow, perfect for capturing memorable family moments.

It was a perfect ending to an active day at the pool, watching South African penguins being fed, and visiting the exotic parrots at the Hyatt Regency earlier in the day.
