Sitting:
By appointment,
we will meet your family on the beach. We shoot
a variety of poses: in the dunes where poses are
more traditional and down at the water's edge for
a more candid approach. We can also accommodate
special requests and we take extra time with infants
and small children to capture the essence of their
personality. We shoot only in the evenings when
the light is prettiest; therefore we are limited
to the number of sittings per evening. If you know
the dates of your vacation, it is best to make your
reservation as far in advance as possible, especially
around holidays. A sitting fee will be collected
in advance to secure your reservation and is subject
to a 48 hour cancellation policy.
-
Immediate
Families: Sittings will take approximately
30 minutes. We shoot three to four poses of the
family, mom and children, Dad and children, children
together and children separate. This will generate
approximately 75-125 images.
-
Extended
Families/Large Groups: Sittings will take
approximately 45 minutes to one hour. We will
shoot several poses of the entire group and any
sub families within the group as mentioned above.
Clothing
Suggestions: Simple, classic attire works best.
Coordinating each family member's attire (same color
and style if possible) not only creates a unified
look, but a "timeless" look as well. Some
suggestions are: Khaki bottoms (shorts, pants, skirts,
skorts) and white shirts. White dresses for women
& girls look great in beach portraits.
Portrait
Viewing : Families view their portraits the following
day of their sitting and this takes about 30 minutes.
A preview, via personalized slide show, and each individual
image will be shown for consideration. We demonstrate
special effects that can enhance your portraits, such
as: black and white, "hand tint" and retouching.
Guests can choose from a wide variety of portrait
packages or portraits a la carte. Sizes range from
wallet size to 30x40. Both traditional photographs
and canvas portraits are available.
Shipping
: Guests can expect to receive their portraits
via UPS insured, registered mail.
