I met the “V” Family the other night at Baby Beach in Lahaina. It was a really windy afternoon and I was nervous that it was going to be too windy to continue the shoot. But I’m glad we waited it out. The clouds formed a softbox type effect and made everyone’s skin look beautiful.

I think at first everyone felt a little awkward being in front of the camera, but as we chatted, everyone warmed up and we had a great time. I loved watching dad, Bruce, catching crabs with his boys. I loved how mom, Tracy, watched her boys with love. And the boys…. ok… seriously adorable. They each have a dimple. Older brother Brandon gave me a bit of a challenge as far as smiling goes, but we finally got him out of his “tough guy” persona and got him smiling to show off that adorable dimple. Younger brother Kennedy was quite a character – so full of charm and smiles – so easy to photograph.

Thank you, “V” family for meeting me on the beach and braving the early winds that we had!
