Do you want to hear the crazy story behind this session, because I sure want to share it!

The Buchmuller family are dear friends of ours who came to visit us here on our little Island of Santo. We couldn’t help but give them a family session as a thank you in return. As we arrived to our Beach Location, we realized that one of the boys outfits was left back at home. Being one hour away, we decided to continue with the family photo shoot. Without hesitation, my assistant started running around the nearly empty Port Olry Beach, in search of a toddler to borrow clothes from. Luckily she found a little boy, who was willing to take off his shirt (from his own back) and lend it to our little model that day! Lesson learned…always double check that you’ve packed everything!

We’re so excited to share this Vanuatu family session with you today! It was such an honor to have our sweet friends trust Niva Studios to capture their special moments. Even though Vanuatu could be super hot and humid, they were all such troopers and we LOVE how they turned out!

The Bennet family are good friends of ours here in Espiritu, Santo. They are the sweetest, kindest family, and have two adorable little boys, one of which my little daughter is “in LOVE with”! She makes sure I am constantly reminded that he will be “her future husband one day” lol. Mind you, she’s 4.

We are very grateful to have the privilege of serving people with such big hearts. Thank you friends.

We hope you enjoy this little gallery of photos taken at Turtle Bay Lodge in Espiritu, Santo Vanuatu!
