Family photos on Hilton Head Island

I suppose my biggest reason for starting this blog post was just to really try and explain my photographic style and philosophy a bit better so that someone interested in my work, such as yourself, might understand who they are hiring a bit better.

The other day I was riding the boat over to visit my parents in Haig Point on Daufuskie Island, South Carolina and a friend of my family, as well as a resident of Haig Point asked me take a family portrait on the beach. I was excited about their interest in my work. They asked me how they should dress for the shoot.

I told them that they should dress however they wish. I told them that they should dress however they feel most comfortable because after all, the photographs are supposed to represent who they are in all aspects. I told them that my goal, as a specialist and seasoned veteran in beach portraiture on Hilton Head Island, that the moment when everyone is prepared to have the images taken, dictates how those images should be taken. In other words, each family has their own personality and requires a different photographic approach. I do not believe that there is a set recipe for success, nor is there an exact proper attire geared for all families.

So our beach portraiture shoot is scheduled for June 28th on the beach in Melrose Resort on Daufuskie Island and how those images are taken will only be known at our evening meeting time on June 28th.

I will have more posts regarding my photographic style and philosophy. Thank you for reading about this one.
