Can You Do Landscape Photography on a Family Holiday?

Can you really do landscape photography on a family holiday? 🌄 In this video, I take you behind the scenes on a New Zealand trip to see what happens when family time and photography collide — and what I learned from it. Trying to balance family time with photography isn’t easy. Golden hour always seems to arrive right when dinner does, and sometimes the light you’ve been dreaming of hits just as you’re putting the kids to bed. In this reflective photo-vlog from Lake Tekapo and Queenstown, I share how I approach landscape photography when time is short and the moment I realised I was missing more than just great light.
