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

[3Plutos]

I read about this photo session thing on another website and we are definitely going to do it. I got us a reservation at 9am for the session at the Beach Club. I thought early in the morning would be the easiest because it might not be as hot. I did preorder the cd and that is the way to go if you want to do the photo session because if you buy the cd there its $125 plus $50 for the sitting fee. With the $99 prepurchase CD its $25 for the sitting fee. Great deal.

You get a copywright release too so you can print the photos anywhere,which is great. I plan on using one of the pictures for our xmas cards this year. They say you get approx between 40-80 photos taken. They put those and all your other park pictures on the cd. I think its a great deal.

Hi everyone! I just wanted to tell you that I also booked the Beach Club at 8 AM, I figured that would be the best time for our toddler! I can't wait so see some pictures from there so I have an idea of what to ask for when we are there!

 

[lissiesmum]

I asked this earlier but no one has responded and thought I'd try again. Have any of you ever booked a photo shoot and it ended up raining? Just wondering if they take all the pics indoors and if it was worth it???

This is what happened to us - I booked our shoot 30 days out; arrived and decided I wanted it later so scheduled it but about 2 hours later it looked like it was going to poor and the kids and I were ready so I called and was able to get in right then. It ended up not raining (as is the case here in FL) and was sunny by the time our session was over. So I have no experience of what they do but I assume they would do mostly covered and indoor shots.

Great pictures everyone! I can't wait to see more, especially the Beach Club ones!!!

I am SO EXCITED to see the WL pics since we'll be there at Christmastime. Please post after your session so that we can all get an idea of locations. Hope your session goes well!

I'm so excited for this too!!! I was hoping they would do this. We're staying there Dec. 6 - 14th. I know that the photos will be absolutely beautiful at Christmastime. What color do you think would look nice for a Christmastime session? What colors do the photographers recommend? I'm thinking red would look nice. Maybe we can wear our Santa Mickey ears in some of the pictures too.

Hubbie and I did the Beach Club photopass session just a few days ago at 7pm it was wonderful. We had Dallas as a photographer and she is a professional photographer and does Disney twice a week for the perks. So, we got awesome pics can't wait to get them back. She took about 55 but only about 45 showed up when I loaded them when we got home not sure why the discrepancy.

She did say they just added Wilderness lodge last week and Animal Kingdom is next on the list within the month.

It was a wonderful experience and I might do it again if all my kids are with us next trip.

Zurgswife. Can you explain some of the picture spots for the Beach Club? Thanks!!

 

[kaleighmariesmom]

I would love to see them too!!! I have been dying to see the BC ones!!!

No one has any new pictures?? It has been very quiet with pictures lately. I am just waiting until the 19th so I can book my sitting. I think we are doing the Poly and we have our outfits already picked out. LOL!!!

After seeing all of the wonderful photos posted here, I've gotten very excited about doing a photo session. We are going the first week of March '09. So, it occurred to me last week that if I'm going to find coordinating outfits, I need to do it now because I won't be finding summery clothes in Michigan in February! So, I went to the mall for a couple hours today, and it's too late. Everything's on clearance and picked over. I especially like the look of everyone wearing white in the photos. I found one white dress each for DD and I, neither of which I was crazy about. Nothing for DS, and a few shirts for DH, but not what I would consider his style. I know I cannot pull together coordinating outfits from the clothes we've been wearing this summer. So, now I'm totally stressing about what I'm going to do so that they look nice. And DH loves it when I stress about family pix as it is- he'll really love to hear about this for the next 7 mos!!

Even though the local malls are out you might want to try purchasing online!!
I am not sure the ages of your children but Gymboree,Old Navy have cute summer clothes. Good luck.

We are headed to GF 9/6 and I think I'd like to book a photo session. If we pay ahead for the $99 photopass is the $25 sitting fee per family or per person? Also is this the only charge for the session? Can we just get all of the park/session pictures on our computer at home and print them ourselves? I am sorry if this is all repetitive - we are new to this.

We just had our photo shoot at the GF in June the $25 is the sitting fee for your family not per person. All your photopass pictures will be on the CD you will own the rights and can print them yourself or I took mine to Target and had it done there. Good Luck

Thanks so much. What a great deal! So I am right that this is the only fee. Is there any other cost for the photo session?

That is it, get as many pictures taken at the parks as you can. Everything will be on your CD. After you get your CD the only cost is how ever much it is for processing your photos. Have Fun

I just booked for 8am @ the BC too!

I booked a Wilderness Lodge photo session for August 31st @ 6:30pm. The CM I spoke with suggested white as a color for the session. He said he had just done a family who wore all white and it looked really nice. I think I am going to be in white polo and DH is going to wear a green polo. Has anyone had WL yet? I would love to see some pictures.

 

[christa112]

So what do you guys think would be better an morning session or evening session? I am thinking of either doing it right about breakfast or right before dinner. I am leaning towards the morning because it will still be kinda cool and our hair and clothes will still be kinda clean (after eating yeah, right LOL).

What I am worried about is the squinting in the pictures.

Hey, those are our dates, also! We're there Dec. 7-14.

I'm really not sure about what to wear. I thought red because the lodge is so green but DH does NOT look good in red and it's only an OK color for me. Blue is our best color and we both do well in green also but I think green would blend too much with the Lodge. DH and I both look horrible in white so that won't work either.

Do y'all think blue would be too awful for the WL at Christmas time? What about black? What color would you do?
