Spelunking Shoot Family Adventure

This post was written by the client: We definitely connected on such a fun level and will absolutely be looking forward to another adventure with them.

I don’t generally look forward to family photo shoots, quite honestly I tend to put them off and dread them. Yet the moment I met Noel she put me at ease. She instantaneously connected with my three kids with her jovial and warm personality and even made my husband and I excited for the allotted time for our photo shoot. Our destination was adventurous, interactive and every moment just felt natural, not overly posed (which I tend to prefer).  The shoot itself was simply fun and my entire family, regardless of age, was relaxed. The stunning photos I received were simply icing on the cake. Now, instead of dreading our shoot; I’m eagerly anticipating our next adventure and breathtaking photos I will have with us for a lifetime.

This photo session with this family was planned out the moment I stumbled across this large cave with my oldest son almost 10 years ago. The first time we found it, I knew I would love to show a family how to get here. It isn’t easy to get there. Some rock climbing and scratched knees may be needed to get to this place, so it was important that I found a family full of adventure, and grit! It is also important to note that getting here is dependent on the tides and swells of the day, so planning it takes little less than a mercury retrograde in the works to make it happen. But, with all this said, to photograph a family who loves to adventure, in an environment of adventure is as cliche as it sounds, a dream come true!
