Kauai Family Photographer

The invisible magic bunny that sits atop my head has saved the day many times…because yes, sometimes the young ones are not interested in taking pictures. As a family photographer in Kauai, I’m truly blessed to know how to engage the youngest in the group. This is just one creative forte of mine, being a very experienced longtime professional photographer who’d love to do your family photos.

Most families worry about the same things: “What if the kids don’t cooperate?” “We’re awkward in photos…” “We don’t know how to pose!” All completely normal—and you don’t need to worry about any of it.

Here’s what you can expect from me. A natural, relaxed family session that’s going to feel more like a fun vacation outing than a photoshoot. I’m not into stiff poses any more than you are, or forced smiles. You won’t hear from me, “Say cheese!” So if one of you say it I’m likely to ask American? Cheddar? For sure you’ll get guidance from me. I pride myself on esthetic staging, creative compositions, beautiful lighting, all in pursuit of photos that aren’t just families standing side by side, but family togetherness on a gorgeous Kauai beach, having fun and yet shining brightly as if on stage.

Price

Are you okay with okay or do you want something more?

If your criteria for choosing a family photographer is price and you plan to choose a photographer based on that, you might not be thrilled with your photos. Certainly, economic uncertainty makes expenditure an important factor but so does waste. I'm sure you wouldn't want to receive photos from a Kauai family photographer and think “what a waste of money!”

Here's the thing, any photographer can give you a stunning photograph if everything gels—the natural light is magic, the family without any or limited direction just gathers perfectly—and there you have it, one beautiful shot. Maybe she'll even give you 2 or 3 beautiful shots. But don't bank on it!

A family photo session that yields multiple beautiful photographs doesn't happen willy—nilly; it happens because the photographer has a track record of consistently producing top-notch family photos. It happens by intention, when your photographer makes aesthetic staging decisions, when he uses meaningful framing not simply getting all the family into the shot. The question really is are you okay with okay or do you want something more? If you want more, please look at my gallery of photos because, well, there’s a saying in England: the proof of the pudding is in the eating.
