Breaking NEWS PHOTO SESSIONS!!!!!! :-)

[TotalSnowWhite]

Hi ..... Just thought I'd share that I've booked our photo session! We're doing it on Sunday, July 6th at 9:00 AM at the Poly!

When I was on the phone making the reservation, the VERY NICE CM I was speaking with actually made the suggestion that our family of 5 dress in coordinating colors. Although, we were already planning to do exactly that, I thought it was nice that he did make the suggestion for folks that may not have thought of it on their own.

We are going with the white theme as well. The girls (me, DD14 and DD11) will be in white sun dresses and the boys (DH and DS8) will be in khaki shorts with white button down shirts. Hopefully, these will work out great with the Poly setting ....... tropical flowers, beach, etc.

I just bought my dress last weekend & found it on sale! I was so excited. I've been shopping for this specific photo session for a couple of months now! Wish me luck though ...... DD14 lives with her mom & won't be here for us to go shopping for her dress until 5 days before we leave!!! Please send pixie dust ........... please

I will post photos when we return! This is probably the day I am most looking forward to on our upcoming trip! Thanks to everyone who has shared photos & information so far!

Oh, I was definitely shopping until the night before we left...and we'd already sent our bags down to FL with my grandparents!!

I am trying to convince dh to take some time to do this at the Poly on our Sept trip! It looks so nice!

You guys have shared some AWESOME pics! I love seeing them. I am such a photo editing nut that I could not resist playing with some of them and popping them out just a little bit. I figured I would share some but if you had rather I not just let me know and I will take yours down asap! I just can never resist doing some when I have the time.

I will share some before and after ones.. again if you had rather I not play with your photos please let me know and I will take them down. (I know some people can be bothered by this.)

I talked with a CM as well today and he told me the same thing about the colors. He also said that if someone had a tropical shirt, it would lookd nice and everyone else could coordinate with that. This was for the Poly shoot. Also, for the GF shoot he told me that light colors and khakis would be nice. He mentioned that the blues look really good so I am thinking about light blue shirts and everyone in khakis. I am still shopping for the shoots as well and we leave in 9 days! I am so excited!

P.S. I was able to get 7 pages worth of scrapbooking done last night! WOO HOO!

I have to just say again how much I LOOOOOVE that photo of the family laughing. LOVE it!

 

[Twende]

TheDisneyBunch WOW you are good at fixing those colors!

None of those are mine but I love what you have done with them!

 

[christa112]

TheDisneyBunch what program did you use to pop the color? Those look great!!!!

 

[TheDisneyBunch]

Thanks guys. I am such a fan of popping out the colors and all in photos. I did them in Photoshop Elements 5.0.

Thank you all bunches for sharing ! Want you to know I am so enjoying all of your nice photos and beautiful families of so many happy smiling faces! We are doing a grand gathering Thanksgiving week and I definitely hope it works out we can do a family photo shoot.

Luckily our family will all be doing the Spirit of Aloha at the Poly one evening and this should be perfect timing as we'll all be together. I read to save money by pre-purchasing the PP CD for $99 http://www.disneyphotopass.com/. When I called for info rep said it can only be booked 30 days out, suggested buying 2 20min sittings with such extended family, as we'd have more time w/more pic and when asked advise of what to wear she suggested bright coordinates tops w/white or kahai bottoms. Sounds so cool, one more set of outfits for our family of 17 to plan . This even makes my anticipation of our family trip more exciting! Can't wait to capture the magic in our little grands eyes!!!

Its funny, I think the solid colors with everyone coordinated is gorgeous, but at the same time, I really like the ones that are not so coordinated, they are so natural looking. Love them.

I am not sure which clothes my family will be wearing...busy Hawaiian prints or studio whites/khaki. Until we decide, I sure do love seeing all the gorgeous photos.

Thank you all for sharing!

I booked the GF for 8:30 AM the end of June but am considering changing it to the Poly b/c we have an ADR at Ohana's for 9:30 am or I should I change GF to 4:45 pm since we have ADR for 5:30 pm at 1900 PR. Which would be better for beach shots?

Our family having fun!

This is a great shot - very natural - just enjoying your time together. I love the red shirts too!

Thanks so much for all the compliments!! The more I see this picture, the more I really do like it -- big mouths, teeth, cleavage and all!!!

I would suggest the early morning for the beach shot. 4:45pm in June is still going to be really bright. IDEALLY you want to go even later in the evening like at/after 6pm.

Since we already did a family portrait wearing off white last year, I am considering having us all wear pastel polos with khaki colored shorts. My DD had a white dress that has Disney princesses on it w/ the colors: pink, blue, yellow and green. So I thought it would be nice to "pull out" the colors from her dress. What do you think?

That sounds darling! I think it would make for a very cute portrait.

I have a question and I appologize if this has already been answered. I called to book today and was told that I didn't pay until I got there and also that there was no confirmation #. They simply took my name, cell #, and party size. Is this right? Also, I was told that the $125 price included the photo session on CD, all other photopass photos could be added, and 3 5X7 prints.

Having just done the Poly shoot 4 days ago, this is absolutely correct. I prepaid for the CD, and got it for $99, but had to pay $25 for the photo shoot, so it came out to $125 for everything. Well worth it. All they take is your info, and when you go to the desk, there will be a photopass guy waiting

I have a question, when you went to the Poly with your prepaid number, did they just download all of the photos that they took to your photopass card?
Thank you, Stacy

Yep, i just handed him my card, told the cashier i prepayed for the CD, showed the paperwork, paid $25, and was off for the shoot. Got about 30 pics, and was happy with most of them...
