Reunion on the Beach: Capturing Memories with an Expanding Family

Yesterday, I reunited with 'old friends' on the stunning shores of Playacar for a sunset family photoshoot. Five years ago, I first met Susan and Ryan in Playa del Carmen, capturing precious moments with their daughter Zoe. Now, five years later, their family has grown, and I had the joy of photographing the soon-to-be family of five, with Susan expecting another child. It was a heartwarming reunion filled with laughter and reminiscing. Despite battling fierce winds that turned sand into tiny missiles, we persevered and achieved stunning results. Take a look at the photos – I believe we've captured some truly magical moments!

Getting candid shots like these is not easy at all. Nicolas and his family booked a 1,5 hour session in Tulum and after warming up they managed to dropped all self consciousness of being photographed and started playing with each other. Like that I was able to capture this heartwarming moment, as the boys shower their father with hugs and kisses.

Capturing Serenity: A Maternity Photo Session at St. Regis Kanai

Just a few months ago, I had the pleasure of meeting Jasmine and Bobby at St. Regis Kanai for a maternity photo session. The picturesque setting of St. Regis provided the perfect backdrop for this special occasion. Nestled between Cancun and Playa del Carmen, the hotel is surrounded by lush mangrove trees, creating a stunning environment for photography. With its distinctive architecture and landscaping, St. Regis offers an endless array of elements to enhance any photo session. From the serene beauty of the mangroves to the elegant design of the hotel, every corner provides a captivating backdrop for capturing memorable moments.

Posing in photography - Some tips for photographers and “models”

Photography is a beautiful art that captures moments and memories that last a lifetime. Having done family and couple sessions in the Riviera Maya for the most part I am mostly aiming to get natural and candid shots but also some arranged poses can be a crucial element to photography. Posing is the art of placing the subject in the best possible position to create a beautiful and engaging image. It is a skill that requires practice and experience. In this blog post, I will discuss the importance of posing in photography and provide some tips to help you improve your posing skills. I am writing “model” in parentheses as usually most of my clients are not professional models.

Importance of Posing in Photography

Posing is essential in photography for several reasons. Firstly, it can help to create a connection between the subject and the viewer. A well-posed photograph can evoke emotions and tell a story. Secondly, posing can highlight the subject's best features and downplay any flaws. It can make the subject feel confident and comfortable in front of the camera. Lastly, posing can help to create a cohesive look and feel to a series of photographs. It can tie everything together and create a beautiful visual story.

Tips for Posing in Photography:

Start with a Plan (Tip for the “model”):

Before the photoshoot, plan the poses you want to achieve. This will help you to stay organized and focused during the shoot. You can create a mood board or a list of poses that you want to try (and send them to the photographer). This will save time and make the photoshoot more efficient. As silly as it sounds, but you can practice at home in front of a mirror and see if your ideas are easy for you to achieve.

Communicate with the Subject (Tip for photographers and models):

Communication is key when it comes to photo sessions. It takes some effort to communicate verbally the idea of a picture but every good photographer has to make the effort. It can take some back and forth but that’s all right. Talk to your subject (or photographer) and explain the poses you want to achieve. You can demonstrate the pose or show them a reference image. Encourage your subject/photographer to give feedback and make suggestions. This will create a collaborative and relaxed atmosphere during the shoot. It is important to state the photography session are an interactive process. Don’t leave all to the photographer, be engaging, don’t be afraid to try out things, don’t be afraid to fail.

Consider the Body Language (Tip for photographers):

Body language is an important aspect of posing. It can communicate emotions and create a connection with the viewer. Pay attention to the subject's posture, facial expression, and hand positioning. A slight change in these elements can make a significant difference in the overall feel of the photograph.

Create Movement:

Adding movement to the photograph can create a dynamic and engaging image. You can ask your subject to walk, run, or twirl. Movement can create a sense of energy and excitement in the photograph.

Conclusion

In conclusion, posing is an essential aspect of photography. It can create a connection between the subject and the viewer, highlight the subject's best features, and create a cohesive look and feel to a series of photographs. With practice and experience, you can improve your posing skills and create beautiful and engaging photographs. Remember to plan ahead, communicate with your subject (or photographer), pay attention to body language, create movement and most importantly do it with joy and attitude.

Outfit ideas for family and group photos on the beach

We are a photography service working on the beaches of Playa del Carmen, Cancun and Tulum for more than 7 years now and would like to share with you some of our ideas considering your styling.

Create an awareness of where you are.

As a principle guideline we recommend you to think about where you will be for the occasion. Make yourself aware of where we are. Try to think of the colors and scenes you encounter during the session and dress up accordingly.

Here in the Riviera Maya we usually have three possible scenarios: The photo session can be on beach, in the jungle (Cenotes) or urban (at your airbnb in Tulum).

Colors that dominate on the beach are White (Clouds), Blue (Sea) and Sand (Beach). During sunset and sunrise times those colors shift towards pastel tones deriving from red and blue.

Beachy, sandy, casual but kinda elegant.

Personally we prefer seeing brighter and lighter tones in your outfits. Heavier tones like black or poppy colors might fit better in an urban or jungly context. While on the beach we think that reduced pastel colors on the brighter spectrum are a better fit to match the color palettes during our breathtaking sunrises and sunsets. On the other hand attention attracting yellows and flashy reds can work good with the greenery of the jungle.

Patterns like plaids, stripes, and florals are welcomed. You can even mix-and-match them, and don't be afraid to layer them with solid colours and denims.

Don’t forget that we are in a sunny and hot area almost throughout the year so the lighter the fabric the better.

We are all different.

As families or groups your don’t need to match up exactly. Usually it is better to look individually for colors and patterns that match each character. The clothes you’re wearing shouldn’t make you feel uncomfortable or too dressed up. Make sure you wear the clothes. Don’t let the clothes wear you!

There is no need really to invest your money in shoes. As the photo session takes place on a sandy beach the most common is to be barefoot. If you prefer having something on your feet, some light and stylish sandals might do the job.

If you have a hard time deciding bring more outfits to the session. We don’t have a problem with that as long as time is respected.

If you have different ideas and want to break with the suggested rules we highly appreciate you too. A photo session is always an opportunity to express yourself!

We think this bachelor(ette) group of poeple did a wonderful job. Beachy, casual but elegant still, with some accentuated color.
