Location: Paradise Village, Nuevo Vallarta Mexico
Family from: Colorado
Karah contacted me to photograph her and her family while they were visiting from Colorado and staying at Nuevo Vallarta’s Paradise Village resort, always popular with families. One nice thing about photographing at Paradise Village is the variety of locations/backgrounds available.
Sunset portrait sessions can be somewhat problematic because the sun is much stronger late in the day than most people realize. The intense heat can make people sweat (even in our less humid winters) and photos with people squinting into the sun are never attractive. Everyone wants that perfect shot on the beach, but when I first arrive for the portrait, we usually need to start in another shaded location.
This image shows how there is also some nice tropical foliage that makes a nice backdrop.
This shot is cool and a result of an unintentional collaborative effort. I directed the kids over to a grassy, shaded location and their older son, being a 10 year old boy, immediately spotted the staircase and began to climb up. It wasn’t my intention but once I saw him on the stairs, I knew it was a good location.
This is one of my favorites. I hope it’s a shot she’ll remember forever and will make her remember her first vacation at the beach in Mexico
