My photo session mantra: Show up prepared, then go with the flow. As Hawaii photographers, we see a lot of families who are here for the first time. The excitement is high! What does this mean? Your child is in a new element and a stranger is holding a big camera in front of their face. They’re likely not going to entirely be themselves. They may show off more than usual or your extrovert may suddenly become shy. But don’t worry, we’ve seen it all!
And after hundreds of sessions photographed, we also know that not every pose works with every family. Not every prompt leads to the kind of reaction you hope for. Not every kid is in the mood for my behind-the-camera antics. Your Hawaii photo session should be fun. This means if we have to go with the flow to get the perfect shot, then that’s just what we’ll do.
This is my 3rd time photographing this beautiful family. We’ve done sunrise sessions and sunset sessions, and a different location each time. They are always so ready to go with the flow which means we work together perfectly! Each time I show up to photograph them I have a plan in my head, but we end up needing to go with the flow and feel out what is working and what isn’t.
That’s the beauty of booking us as your Hawaii photographers – we have the experience to know what works and to pivot whenever we need to so you still end up with a gallery that is exactly *you*.
