I am a Kauai family portrait photographer. I have been shooting Kauai beach portraits for over twenty five years. I prefer to work at a great south shore beach where I know what the sun will be doing every day of the year. By working at a familiar location I am able to control all aspects of my Kauai family beach portraits.
My favorite job is the multi-family reunion. Many times this is the only time everyone has gathered in one place for many years. It is a special occasion and a perfect reason for a Kauai family beach portrait. A large family on the beach with a camera always brings out the best in people and offers great photo opportunities.
This is not a stiff photo session. It is a fun Kauai activity. This is a great way for everyone to interact in a fun and unique way. Folks always come up with great ideas for photos and I encourage that. My goal in every Kauai family portrait is that everyone has a great fun time.
My Kauai faimily beach portrait is structured so that all of the formal groupings are done first. Most small children don't have much patience for this type of thing so I have to work fast. Once the formal photos are done then everyone is walking on the beach, running through the waves or jumping off sand cliffs. Children forget they are in a photo session and just having fun on the beach. Everything we do is of course determined by everyone's physical limitations. I won't be sending grandma running through the surf although some insist on it.
My lifestyle is built around the beach. I try to shoot only one family per day with at least part of the day reserved for enjoying the surf. Many nights my family and I will have dinner while watching the sunset at the beach. In recent years I have retired from a stressful management position for a government contractor and tried to structure my life around enjoying and working at the beach. I have managed to create a lifestyle that is fun and helps visitors produce great photos.
