To be creative we must step away from what we know works into something either unknown or at least be forced to make what we know not to work somehow work. This is what I was faced with when shooting the Kulak Family in full sun. Due to schedules and weather we had to move our session to 1pm in the afternoon. Images full of shadows and harsh light is what I knew we would get but we did it any way because life doesn't only happen at golden hour. The Kulaks showed up to our session with their outfits on point and their ability to relax and have fun with each other beyond my expectations. I loved seeing them interact both with loving soft touches and full blown tickle fights. This family of six is full of personality and I loved being able to capture a little bit of what makes them "them".
