North Shore Photography Hawaii has rockier beaches than the southern and windward beaches. Maybe its those famous winter currents that create pipeline waves washing away all the sand!
Whatever it is, its good to keep in mind that not only is the North Shore out of the way, its not easy for small children to walk in. The sand is soft, but tread very far into the water and they’ll be tripping.
There’s nothing easy about family photos
There’s a lot of decision making that can be overwhelming:
- what to wear
- where to go
- what sizes to print
I provide wardrobe support from start to finish. Every client gets access to Style & Select. If Pinterest and Stitch Fix had a baby this would be it. Everything is vetting for colors, patterns & textures that look good in camera by photographers for family photography.
I’ll help you streamline everything so that your images are framed beautifully on your walls, not just collecting digital dust in the cloud.
