Family & Group
on Guraidhoo
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 Guraidhoo, Kaafu Atoll, by locals who know the island's best light.
Guraidhoo sits on the eastern rim of South Male Atoll, about 35 km from Male, a fishing-village island of around 1,700 people with a long history of hosting travellers.

How it looks
Family & Group on Guraidhoo: 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 45 minutes (~$30), or the public ferry (Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Sat, Sun, 90 min). If you're already staying on Guraidhoo, 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 Guraidhoo session around it and move between jetty, beach and palm lines as the light changes.
