Maui Family Photoshoot
Family photoshoots here in Hawaii are always a dream to capture. I love being apart of your family’s time here in paradise photographing some beautiful memories that your family will get to relive that moment each time you look at an image. Whether you visit Hawaii each year or are here to celebrate a milestone/spend time together it is the perfect place to schedule a family photoshoot. A big question clients have when scheduling a photoshoot is how much time should they book for ? When it comes to little ones or teenagers it’s pretty common to think that a shorter session works best due to how long you think your kids may last during a shoot. The best route to go is actually the opposite, especially for little ones under the age of 10. The sweet spot for a family photoshoot is a 60 minute session. Okay deep breath, that may sound wild but hear me out - During a photoshoot no matter if you go with myself as your photographer or another wonderful photographer on island as much fun as we will make the session there may be a few minutes that your kiddo needs a second to , “just be”. If your little one is shy they’ll need a few minutes to feel comfortable and if they are super energetic there needs to be time during the photoshoot for them to be able to get some wiggles out. Having a longer session allows this to happen where no one feels stressed thinking about the clock. The below family session had two little ones where our hour together allowed for two locations they were able to play at which was fun for them to explore AND added a great variety of images into the gallery. This lovely family has a third kiddo on the way where our session timeframe also allowed for the session to double as a maternity session along with a family photoshoot.
Ultimately it is up to you on what you feel may work best for your family but with Hawaii being a minimum of a 5 hour plane ride do not short yourself on time on a family shoot - This is not just a “photoshoot” but a time your family gets to see more of Hawaii together and have fun making additional vacation memories.
