Making Memories from Moments
Making Memories from Moments
Photographs should feel like a memory that takes you back to that fabulous vacation with family and friends. Photographs should bring out your emotions. They should make you smile, make you laugh, make you reminisce and maybe even shed some tears. All of those reasons make up the answer to the question - why should we have professional pictures taken? So you can remember every reason you decided to take your vacation at Cape San Blas on the Forgotten Coast Beaches of North Florida.
Beach portraits are about capturing that relaxed and laid-back vibe with your family. We want to capture your family's unique personality in an authentic and candid way. We will create a few 'well behaved' images and we will create even more free-style with some gentle guidance. We want your experience to be stress free and just another part of your vacation memories!
Family sessions are based on the number of people being photographed. Whether it's just your immediate family or a reunion of generations, we can capture both relaxed, posed group shots and free style images as well.
Couples sessions are fun, flirty and romantic. Maybe you are newly engaged or celebrating an Anniversary. The focus is exclusively on the two of you!
Maternity and Senior sessions, while not the same genre, are meant to capture your personality, and you as an individual during these special milestones in your life.
Family sessions at Cape San Blas and the surrounding beaches in Gulf County starts at $450 for up to 10 people. Session fees for groups of 11 or more people will be based on the number of people being photographed.
Couples, Maternity & Senior sessions are $450 and allow time for an outfit change.
What's included? All sessions will include an online, password protected gallery and your choice of -
20 high resolution digital images
OR
Credit towards your purchase of prints, products and/or digital image files. You can choose the products that you want!
Besides digital image collections, we offer different mediums of wall art, memory books, signature albums, story boxes, and prints of all sizes. Product samples are available for viewing prior to all sessions.
Where are the pictures taken? The most popular option for a session location is the beach area closest to your vacation rental house. Other options include St. Joseph Peninsula State Park, Cape Palms Park and The Stump Hole at the rocks.
When is the best time? The preferred time for pictures is the 'Golden Hour' before sunset. It provides the soft, most flattering light and we avoid the harsher light and shadows that can accompany earlier session times. Sometimes this presents a concern to clients with young children. In those instances, perhaps an afternoon power nap or the promise of a special treat can perk them up! We try to get the images with the young children done first so they and their parents can relax!
When will the images be ready? 2-3 weeks after the session you will receive a link to your password protected online gallery. From there you (and your family) are able to make your purchases and image selections directly through the gallery.
Yes, we do weddings also! From intimate elopements to grand affairs, we offer collections for weddings of all sizes.
Fill out the contact form below and please include the number of persons being photographed. Once we agree on a date and time, I will forward to you a contract and an invoice. A $100 non-refundable retainer fee (applied to your session fee) and the signed contract will reserve your date and time. The balance of your session fee is due by the day of your session and payments can be made at any time.
Every effort is made to hold your session on the scheduled day. In the event of bad weather at the session time, we will attempt to reschedule during your vacation or issue a credit/refund.
Drop us a line! We are happy to answer any questions you may have.
