spring okinawa family portrait session {cape zanpa}

Anna Rasmussen Photographs — Fri, 15 Mar 2019 09:06:36 +0000

Sometimes the most perfect evenings occur when I head out to do an Okinawa family portrait session. This was one of those nights. We headed up to one of my favorite places to shoot, Cape Zanpa. Have you been up there? Go now if not!

This family portrait session didn’t seem like it was off to a good start. This beautiful family was late (thanks constant Oki traffic) and littlest angle fell asleep in the car on the way so she was not too happy. We worried the sucker would take away from the photographs but both mom and I agree it adds such a fun timeless component.

Gorgeous light, genuine smiles and a few angel wings and everything was better! I love each of these images and hope this family will cherish them for years to come. Now is the time to book your beautiful spring or fall family portrait session! Contact me today!

I am participating in another blog circle today so please follow the link at the bottom of this post onto the next awesome photographer!

As an Okinawa family portraits photographer, I feel lucky to have the opportunity to get to know and document my wonderful clients. Every time a new family comes in front of my lens I find beauty, love and something uniquely them. I was blessed this fall to capture many different families. Today I am so excited to share this one with you. I am excited to be participating in a blog circle today. Make sure to go to the bottom of the post and circle around to see amazing photography from around the world.

Okinawa is awesome for family portraits because it is never cold. Okinawa family portrait sessions are available year around! This family was just having a blast throughout their entire session. The best way to get happy candid shots is to just let things unfold and not try to control every situation. This family was so great at that. Have I mentioned they were also our sponsors when we arrived here on island? The military assigns someone who is usually in the same job as you to help you get situated. These wonderful friends went above and beyond in welcoming us, and we couldn’t be more grateful.

Family Portraits Goal

I love goals and resolutions so this is always a favorite time of the year for me. I don’t always accomplish my goals but I sure love making them! Imagining all the ways I will improve myself in the coming year is a fun process for me. If one of your resolutions for the coming year is to get family portraits done NOW is the time to book. Do you want to capture your family in Okinawa before a move this summer? Message me today!

Asia Vacation Photographer

I have been dreaming for awhile now of becoming an Asia vacation photographer. I would love to hop on a plane and spend a day with a family exploring a new city. Never heard of a vacation photographer? You can hire me for one or two days. I will spend those days with you and document your family as they explore a new place. ?

Why a vacation photographer?

The benefit of a vacation photographer is not only amazing landmark photographs with the entire family in them. (no missing parents!) But also a photographer with you constantly capturing all the in between moments. Those tiny blimps in time that you notice and cherish as a parent, but might not have a chance or skill to photograph. These can now be saved for your entire life. Living in Okinawa, I am a short and cheap plane ride away from so many awesome destinations. Shanghai, Tokyo, Seoul, Taipei, Bangkok, Singapore are just a few of the cities I can get to in just a couple hours.

Asia Vacation Photographer

Are you hopping on the Southeast Asia travel trend?? I hope so! Message me when you do and we can discuss how I can record the memories of your vacation for you. This allows you more space to relax and be in the moment with your family. Capturing the in between and documenting it has long been my favorite part of photography. Today I am sharing a family session on the beach here in Okinawa.

Okinawa Family Session

My favorite moments on this session (and every session!) are not when I am putting people into specific poses. But when they are enjoying one another, when the dad teaches the son to skip a rock, or the mother comforts a sad child. This is what I want to document and capture for ever. So whether you come to me for a traditional family session or hire me as a Asia vacation photographer, you can count on me to ask for lots of play. I am participating in a blog circle again so continue to the bottom of the post to follow the loop around!

Thanks for visiting the blog and I hope to see your family in front of my lens soon! Remember to follow the blog circle around to see some more amazing photography from around the world. Next up is Iana Chtefan and she is a super talented Aberdeen Family Photographer.

Well, it has been a bit, but here is one of my first Okinawa family portrait sessions! Moving across the world sent me for quite the loop this year. Now six months into living in Okinawa, Japan and I am starting to feel somewhat normal. I had a bunch of wonderful brand new clients this fall in our new home! I am so grateful to them for sharing their beautiful families with me.

The first family portrait session I am sharing was shot at gorgeous Araha Beach. Just a few minutes away from Foster Military Base it is an easy and perfect location for a session. This family is obviously very photogenic and capturing them was SO easy.

Okinawa family portrait sessions have been such a wonderful way to get out and see some other parts of the island. I am so excited to share them all with you over the next month. I am participating in a blog circle this month, so make sure to go to the bottom of this post and follow the circle! Enjoy!

Being a Topsail Beach family portrait photographer is the best “job” in the world. I love my families. We are preparing to move again this summer, such is the military life. You always know a session is going to go well when the dad greets you with “Just so you know, this next thirty minutes is going to be like torture for me.” Haha! At least he was being honest. This was my first time photographing these sweet boys and their baby sister, and I loved every moment. Of course three little boys with a tailend sister has my heart from the get go. The good news came at the end of the session when the husband informed me, “That went well, thanks for making it quick and painless!” Of course even better was to hear Mom’s reaction when she got to see these images of her gorgeous family. That is always my favorite part!

I am participating in a blog circle again this month. So make sure to follow along to the bottom of my post and follow the circle until you get back here!

Being a Topsail Beach family portrait photographer is the best “job” in the world. I love my families. We are preparing to move again this summer, such is the military life. Leaving families such as this one and not being able to document them again next year breaks my heart. I have photographed these sweet boys every year I have lived here. I will miss them! This fall for the first time I started freelensing a few images for clients. I LOVE the way they turned out and I have seen them on many of my clients Christmas cards so I think they like them too! It gives such a dreamy feel to my images.

I am participating in a blog circle again this month. So make sure to follow along to the bottom of my post and follow the circle until you get back here!

freelensing at the airport {documentary travel and street photography}

Anna Rasmussen Photographs — Wed, 10 Jan 2018 01:27:51 +0000

My favorite thing and what I most want to be is a documentary travel photographer. On our way home from our recent trip out west I had such fun documenting my children as we went through the airport. The airport is such an interesting place! There were so many fun pockets of light in the airport. I used quite a bit of free lensing in these shots because it is my favorite! Documenting the world but with a bit of magic and soft focus.
