Kalinowski Family | Kalapaki Beach Golden Hour Family Session on Film
During our time in Hawaii last summer I had the chance to photograph a couple families. Who could pass up the opportunity to shoot some film on the beach! My sister in law and her family decided to take me up on getting some photos done while we were there. I had packed along the Nikon f100 35 mm camera and my favorite film and we hit the beach in the evening as the sun was sinking below the hills near Kalapaki Beach. It was my first time photographing little Koa who, at 18 months old, wasn’t quite sure what to make of the whole event, but his big brother was a champ as we wove our way through the waves and driftwood. I think its sweet when the littles are a bit unsure and there are little moments between them and mom and dad.
This session was just with ONE roll of film, it took us about 25 minutes and I just love that we got a sweet blend of family portraits, kids portraits and some sweet candid moments. A family session doesn’t need to be long or involve overly fussy posing to capture the relationships between family members. I love that there was enough movement throughout our session to keep the kids engaged in the process to create a full gallery of images the family will treasure for seasons to come.
