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.

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.

They Left the Kids at Home

For their 10th anniversary, John and Sarina treated themselves to a week at the Hyatt Regency Maui. They left their two young boys at home for this trip. That left them time (and money) to do romantic dinners, luxurious massages and, well, beach portraits. It was another perfect day and they chose the 9am slot. in 15 minutes they had over 30 unique images to choose from. They smiled and laughed pretty much the whole time. They enjoyed the shoot as much as they were enjoying their much needed break. The shoot started over by the white swans on

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
