Chania Crete family photographer (The Pedersen’s from Norway)

families

Family photography sessions in Chania, Crete are always fun for me. Especially when young kids are involved.

Although the kids bring up the challenge factor due to their natural spontaneity.

I have to be extra sharp not only to catch the right instance of a moment, but better yet, foresee it coming.

Being a rookie dad myself chasing my little girl around all day helps too 🙂

 

The Pedersen’s from Norway contacted my asking to be photographed somewhere with local nature and also on the beach. A very nice combination.

I suggested the well managed Botanical Gardens in Chania for the first part, then the beach in front of their hotel at Agia Marina, Chania.

They trusted me and it paid off.

Our little Penelope
There come times in life when you just gotta break the rules. For years now I try not to mix my family with work. Recently though I have been experiencing new heights of picture taking due to my newborn little girl Penelope. Because of her I have changed the way I view life and have become even more sensitive to my subjects.   What I wanted to share with everyone is the joy of newborn photo sessions via my own baby. In Greece it isn’t as popular as in the States for example, but I have hope that people will accept me into their homes before their child turn 40 days old. Not an easy obstacle to tackle, but doable.  I am so hap ...

Family photographer in Rethymno Crete shoot at Arkadi Monastery
A family trip to the island of Crete turned into a reunion as some members live in Asia and others in California. During their vacation, the family was brought together so they decided to celebrate this moment with a family photo shoot. Elijah contacted me and specifically requested to have the photo session in the historical Monastery of Arkadi in Rethymno, Crete. The age span was from a few months old all the way to grandma and grandpa. The monastery grounds were ideal as it provided multiple locations and backdrops all within a few meters apart from each other. How to get to Arkadi Monastery
