Idyllic Ithaca

What better place to have a family photo session than on holiday somewhere as beautiful as Ithaca! Maxeen Kim Photography captured the lovely Rodokanakis family and we’re in love with the pebbled bay and sparkling ocean setting, the family’s stylish co-ordinated outfits and baby Mateo’s beaming smile! Maxeen tells us more about their session together; “The gorgeous Rodokanakis family had come to Ithaca for a family holiday. They had also come for a rather special family celebration. Mum, Deanna, and her family have a home on the island and flew out from South Africa to baptise their beautiful little boy Mateo in one of Ithaca’s beautiful churches. The family decided to mark the occasion with a relaxed family shoot on the beach.

The shoot took place just before sunset on Polis Beach, a bay in the north part of the island. The light at this time of day is perfect for portraits. As this beach is quite popular with tourists and locals alike, the moments before sunset are also great as most people have left the beach by this time. The family opted for outfits in tones of pastel blue, white and neutrals and spent their shoot playing with their little man on the pebbles. They got to watch the sunset, dip in the ocean and enjoy a view of the yachts in the bay. The perfect way to end a summers day.”
