What we'll do is plan the session first. A Group session will held in one location and will begin 1 hour before sunset and consists of more than 15 people. I recommend scheduling early in the vacation so no one is sunburned or has swimsuit strap lines ha and we can possibly reschedule if the weather does not co-operate.
I have a few locations I recommend that are somewhat less crowded and do not have buildings in the background. I have a Location Gallery you can view and we can discuss where you are staying so we can find a location close to you. I can come also to you if you prefer or would like to to document where your staying. Its easy in large groups to feel lost and rushed, and I don't want anyone to be left out. I suggest working on a list so we make sure to get what everyone wants. I usually start with the whole group to get everyone relaxed and let the little ones get a feel for how it will go. Then we will pair down, for instance grandparents with grandkids, cousins (we'll go ahead and get them all while we have them), then individual families, siblings, single shots of the children, then the couple. This of course just a suggested beginning to the list. A few more suggestions are, grandparents with just their adult children, then add spouses, best friends, all the girls, all the boys, then if left over certain play or walking shots etc, and any ideas you would like. If any of the children do not like the sand I do have chairs, a white sheet and other little tricks so just let me know! I would much rather have happy children than children in the sand. I have a few other props you can check out on the Location & Props Gallery as well. |

The Group Session will be held 1 hour before sunset (yes, I promise we'll have enough time, trust me ). A $50 retainer and signed contract are required to confirm your session. The remainder of the session fee is due three days before the session. I will send a session reminder and a link to where you can pay the session fee. If you prefer to pay by check or cash we can make arrangements to pay at the session.
After the session I will cull the images and choose the best of each 'pose' to edit, combining several images if needed to make sure everyone is looking their best. The images will be ready within three weeks during the busy summer months. I can make some simple changes after the session is edited however if any require a lengthy amount of time then a $10 per image fee will be applied. |

Which is the right option for me?
Do you want one or two wall prints as well as the disc?
When you spend $500 in prints/products the disc is half price.
Do you want larger wall images or canvas?
When printing large I recommend using a professional company for printing.
Do you want several prints of the same image or smaller prints?
Then the disc/session is your best option as it is discounted at 25%.
Do you want to print several gift prints for friends, family, album, collage?
Then the disc/session is your best option.
Do you want to know more about what you can/can't do with the disc?
