FAQ 1.
WHEN WILL I RECEIVE MY PHOTOS?
You will receive your final gallery within 4 weeks.
WHAT IF WE HAVE BAD WEATHER?
Florida weather can be hard to predict. Especially in the summer months. It can be raining one minute and sunny clear skies the next. Usually, the weather will clear up. If the weather doesn't clear up in time for our session, I will do my best to reschedule your session for a time that works best for you.
do i have to order prints with you?
Each of my sessions I will give you a copyright release. You are able to print your pictures anywhere you choose. However, you can order prints with your viewing page;
or I always like to recommend a printing site that I use as well:
www.nationsphotolab.com
WHAT SHOULD WE WEAR?
Plan to wear easy to take off shoes. I usually photograph everyone barefoot, since we are at the beach!
For wardrobe a mixture of light colors always looks great on Anna Maria Island. White, cream and beige are my favorite colors to photograph.
Our teal water and white sand- You can't go wrong with light colors.
Check out some of my current sessions under the Family Photo Gallery Tab to get an idea of what my past sessions wore.
If you have a large group. I recommend finding a color palette on Pinterest or Google. Find a color palette of colors you would like everyone to pick from and send it to everyone in the group.
If you're planning to wear a long dress or skirt, I recommend form fitting slips under dresses or long skirts.
FAQ 2.
WHAT SHOULD I BRING? what is the weather like?
Don't forget to wear easy to take off shoes.
Bring a Hair brush, for any easy hair fixes. (Keep in mind, At the beach there is usually always some wind.)
Summer /Winter/ Spring months in Florida:
Summer in Florida is hot, humid and sometimes windy. Be sure to bring a cold water and a paper or battery fan. (They have some cool ones on Amazon.)
Keep in mind it can be buggy in the summer. (I usually will have a can of bug spray on me.)
Spring months are always windy. Expect wind!!!!
Winter months it will get chilly after the sun goes down.
Bring a light sweater or cozy blanket. Especially for the little ones, only saying from experience. :)
WHERE DO WE MEET FOR THE PICTURES?
The location is totally up to you. Anywhere on Anna Maria Island & Longboat Key that is! If you're familiar with the island- & have a favorite spot? or just want me to meet you at your rental and shoot at the beach closest to you. Let me know what you're thinking! If you're new to the island and would rather me pick the spot. Don't worry- I have many favorite spots I like to use. You might be staying right next to one of them.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT?
Expect to have Fun! But Seriously. I am very easy going and relaxed. Family photography sessions should be a good memorable experience with pictures to prove it. Sometimes the best pictures are when your family is just there, together, on a beautiful beach. Toes in the sand.
If you have any poses or certain ideas, let me know! Or if you don't have any poses in mind- I am really good about posing and giving direction. Just show up, have fun and let me do all the work!
