Family & Group
on Gaafaru
Candid-first sessions that work with kids, grandparents, and friend groups. We shoot loose and playful, then gather the classic all-together frames. Photographed on Gaafaru, Kaafu Atoll, by locals who know the island's best light.
Gaafaru sits on its own small ring reef at the northern tip of Kaafu Atoll, about 62 km from Malé, a fishing island of around 1,300 people.

How it looks
Family & Group on Gaafaru: quick answers
We shoot loose and playful first (running, splashing, building sand) and gather the classic all-together frames when everyone is warmed up. Sessions are paced around the kids, not a shot list.
Early morning is often best with small children: softer light, cooler air and empty beaches. Late afternoon golden hour works well for older kids and groups.
Speedboat from Malé in 75 minutes (~$35). If you're already staying on Gaafaru, we meet you there; we photograph guests on their own island.
Golden hour: roughly the last 60–90 minutes before sunset, and the first hour after sunrise. We schedule every Gaafaru session around it and move between jetty, beach and palm lines as the light changes.
