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

[seagaylego]

I just re-read the "fine print" on my photopass CD confirmation. It says "You must present a printed copy of this email to purchase a Resort portrait sitting for $25 at our Grand Floridian Resort location."

Does anyone else's confirmation specify the Grand Floridian Resort? I scheduled our session at the Wilderness Lodge. Think it makes a difference?

Thanks.

Thank you so much...18 years and 3 children later we still have what it takes to make a marriage work[/QUOTE]

Your pictures are great--we got them done last year (Sept 07) I didn't see your husband squinting either!! It was me, DH, DD (7), DS (3)--and he was CRABBY!! he didn't want to look, he cried...but we did get a few really good ones. Our photographer took pictures on the beach (walking away & coming back) we had them done 1st thing in the morning, then we took our children to the doctor & found they both had ear infections (so I guess he had a reason to be crabby!

Yellowfish, those are great photos! Did you also stay at the WL? We are hoping to stay there in June! If we do, I want to do a photo shoot there as well!

 

[yellowfish78]

Thanks! We stayed 2 nights at the Villas and our photoshoot was on our arrival day. I really think that the 5:30pm would have had better light, but we were still waiting for luggage. And the humidity was so bad that it ruined my hair as soon as we walked out the door. Go figure! The person that took the photos was really friendly and knew where to put us. There were some great seperates shots too.
I'd do it again at the higher cost - if I get my hair done professionally (or literally use a whole can of hairspray)!

Well,
I ended up backing down from our photo shoot and did my own version. Here are some of MY photos. what do you all think.

 

[jdes88]

i LOVE the sepia tone one...what great kids you have!

 

[CEK40]

Great shots! What camera and lens did you use for the shots? DH and I are next Saturday 10/25 and have been trying to decide if we wanted to pay to have the resort shoot or do it ourselves. Thanks for sharing.

These photos are fantastic. Much better than the ones we had done @ GF.

There is a big difference between daytime light here in the summer vs. the winter. The sun is blinding in the summer but much milder during the winter months. Does anyone know if that is true in Florida as well?

The reason I ask is that I am trying to figure out when to schedule our shoot. We are planning for our non-park day which is Dec. 11 at the WL. I would like to do the session after our late breakfast so probably around 11:45ish.

Thoughts? I'd appreciate any input. TIA!

Just got our Poly shoot done today and I am uploading our 55 photos to photobucket right now. I say we got about 20 good shots!! One great family photo but that is about it and all I wanted.

I am in a photo share and took the confirmation with me for the $25 and got the photo shoot for that price plus the cd even though my photographer said I wouldn't receive the cd. When we walked back up to the photopass stand the other CM had already downloaded them to the cd so I have the cd and photopass card.

 

[mom2zandjsquared]

Here are a few of our shots!! These are just off of the cd they gave me this morning so no editing done to them.

this next one is a little blurry but its because the photog let our DD take it -

Awesome Poly photos!

These are great! I think this is what Im going to do. The hit or miss quality is just not worth $75 to me when I have the nearly the same camera. I think my plan is to pack my tripod. We really want to try to get a picture of all 4 of us at the beach at Yacht and Beach with Boardwalk behind us. Self-timer is a wonderful thing. Thanks for the inspiration!

I think that will be our plan as well. We'll be there Thanksgiving week and I'm concerned the photopass will be useless and the higher price just reduces the value by a huge degree. So the tripod seems a viable option to me. Haven't decided for sure, but it's the direction I'm leaning.

Take it and if you dont use it, no one was hurt right. I was looking into a remote but Ive heard that distance isnt that great and I dont want it to be obvious in the picture. So my plan is to set the 10 second timer and RUN to my spot LOL. Im trying to talk one of the guys over at The Magic In Pixels to come and take pics of my family for me...I told him he could sleep in the bathtub! LOL!
