The Significance of Beach Portraits on Vacation: Capturing Cherished Family Moments with Teenage Children   In the fast-paced world we live in, where time seems to slip through our fingers, family vacations hold immense value.

Big Group Photo on the Beach at Sunset

Ok well it's only 15 people.  So it's kinda big. Still, it's more than just a couple of families at sunset so there's going to be some heavy lifting going on. To start with, you need a lot of flash juice to over power the sun in a wide angle shot. When you bunch everyone further, it gets a little easier because you can get closer.  And you can wait til the sun goes behind the horizon.

Is It Crazy to Do Family Portraits on a Rainy on Maui?

We're not gonna let a little rain stop us, are we?  The Doan family decided to stick with their original schedule.  On an off rain was in the forecast (and during the shoot).  We were able to take cover when necessary and ended up getting some great shots.  The four of them, the two of them and then just kids. Leaning more toward natural light helped the photographer reduce the appearance of raindrops (both in the air and on clothes).  Careful use of flash is a great way to increase the dynamic range of portraits, but it will also
