Family Portraits With Kauai Photographer

By Nick Galante


I am a Kauai family portrait photographer. I have been shooting Kauai beach portraits for over twenty five years. I prefer to work at a great south shore beach where I know what the sun will be doing every day of the year. By working at a familiar location I am able to control all aspects of my Kauai family beach portraits.

Of all my asssignments my favorite is the multi-family reunion. In many instances this will be the only time everyone gets together in years. What better reason for a Kauai family portrait. Having a camera with a large family on the beach is always a great opportunity for wonderful photos.
I market my photo sessions as a Kauai fun family activity rather than a stiff portrait session. Other than dinner or maybe a boat trip this is probably the best way for a large group to interact in a unique way. There is always the hey let's do the photo where I am holding you in my arms like we did when we were 18 type of thing going on and I love that. My main goal other than great photos of course is that everyone has a fun time."

My Kauai faimily beach portrait is structured so that all of the formal groupings are done first. Most small children don't have much patience for this type of thing so I have to work fast. Once the formal photos are done then everyone is walking on the beach, running through the waves or jumping off sand cliffs. Children forget they are in a photo session and just having fun on the beach. Everything we do is of course determined by everyone's physical limitations. I won't be sending grandma running through the surf although some insist on it.

My life is built around the beach. I work and play at the beach. When we can, my family and I eat dinner while watching the sunset at the beach. I realized at some point while working for a government contractor that I was too busy to e

My life is built around the beach. I work and play at the beach. When we can, my family and I eat dinner while watching the sunset at the beach. I realized at some point while working for a government contractor that I was too busy to enjoy the great island I live on. I changed all that to concentrate on three things 1. work at the beach 2. play at the beach 3. spend time with my family at the beach. So for me life really is a beach.
