Got a call from someone I knew back in high school. I had photographed her wedding and a family portrait when here kids were about a year or so old. She wanted to do another family portrait - this time on the beach - and her kids were older (like in their 20's).
Because of the type of portrait she needed, we agreed to do it in the early morning on the North Shore. As I was driving to the location, I was a bit concerned as the clouds were dark, the light levels were dark and it was raining. For once I was hoping they would be late... they were.
After meeting, we decided to see what we could do with the weather the way it was - raining. We went to one location and it was pouring so that was out. We were contemplating postponing the session when one of the kids asked about Mokuleia. I had noticed that the sky was kind of clearing in that direction so we decided to try it.
We finally got to Mokuleia Beach Park, found a parking space (lots of homeless camping out) and took a look see. The lighting was ideal (soft light because of the cloud cover), the beach was smooth (wave action during the night) and nobody was on the beach.
Spent about a half hour or so doing the photos and got some great images.
