Tis The Season...

for family photos sessions!  Many people in Hawaii love to have their Christmas card photos taken on the beach.  This was one of my favorites from a session I did last weekend.  I like it more for what it's not - instead of being the obvious posed oceanfront shot (of course I love those too) this candid capture only subtly hints at its location.  Bicycles propped against the wall, canoes jutting out, and beyond them the texture of the sea - no blue hues, no foaming white waves, just the change in texture as sand meets water.

  2. And no forced smiles for the camera Lisa, some people (like me) find it hard to look relaxed with a camera pointing straight at them. I really like the way you have approached this and must remember it when I take portraits in the future!

  4. Very sweet. I'm sure that one will be heading for the wall. Wishing you a happy Christmas, Lisa, for you and your family.
