[daisylove]

has anyone gotten thier picture taken recently, I really wanted to get our family pictures taken on our first day in Florida, but am concerned about the variable quality in the pictures taken. Is the photo session really worth $75 for 30 -40 minutes???

Does anyone have any SSR photo session pics? I tried to look through the whole thread for some, but with as many pages as there are, I had trouble finding any... My family is staying there in May and would love to get some type of family pictures done while we are all together. If anyone has any to share or knows where I can find some i'd greatly appreciate it!

I have a couple questions about the photoshoots.
So is the price 75.00 at each location? Is there a location where its cheaper?
I am doing a photopass share is the photo shoot session an option for someone who is in a photopass share?

Thanks
Fran

$75 is the price at all resorts. The Saratoga Springs location is closing permanently on Saturday.

I think it's possible that people would have different experiences (better or worse photographers) and different opinions (more out less picky about the pictures). We had ours done at Wilderness Lodge on 3/4. I had the $25 email, and I'm personally really glad I did. The photographer did not seem to have ideas for where to take our picture or how to position us. After a while, we started telling him "how about this". The other issue was it was very sunny at 10am and we had trouble finding spots where we could manage to keep our eyes open. And a lot of the pictures are white-washed. I had specifically asked when I booked whether we should go earlier or later and they told us 10 was perfect. The next day, I saw another family doing all their pix with sunglasses on. I wanted a nice family picture, not sunglasses, but I can certainly understand why they did this. Anyway, I probably ended up with 2-3 good family pix and a couple nice ones of the kids individually. That's out of 85. But, I am admittedly very picky. If it were $25, I might do it again, but not $75.

that's what I'm wondering, what options do you have if you are not happy with the pictures?

Hi!!

I have tried looking through most of this thread but keep losing my place!! Anyway, does anyone know the current locations available for the resort photo shoots?

We did one in 2007 and it was great but they were only offering GF at the time.

Thanks!

I am also curious about what if you are not happy with the shoot? I really don't want to be making suggestions to the photographer... I would hope they would be "choreographing" the session. If you have it done early in the trip... and truly are unhappy with the results... could you call someone and ask for a takeover??? I am not overly picky.. (although I do admit I do not like photos of myself) but as all mothers feel... I think my children are very photogenic but if they dont turn out I don't want to pay 75 dollars for photos I could have taken with my own camera.

Question

Do you book 30 days prior to arrival or 30 days prior to the day you would like your photo shoot? I am arriving on April 25th but would like to have our photo shoot done on May 2nd. So is it 30 days before April 25th or 30 before May 2nd?

 

[Praise2Him]

30 days before the day of the photo shoot. I went to the website where you plug in the dates of your ADR's and it tells you what day to call to make sure of the correct day to call.

 

[lissiesmum]

what is the current price for the shoot? $75? IF you prepurchase a CD, is it $50, or some other discount? I know the $25 isn't offered anymore, but was wondering if there was something else with the CD purchase.

 

[annej]

I booked a photo session at the GF on Friday for April 3. The girl told me that they were making some changes to the packages. I have preordered the CD and she quoted me a price of $70. I was told that it included a photopass with all of the prints so I can add them to the CD, a CD of the prints that I will get at the end and also a package of some prints that they would print while I was there. She said there are 3 packages to choose from. Not sure how all this works but wanted to share what I was told. She said the changes were taking place in the next couple of weeks.

I'm still really debating on this, and I have about 1 1/2 - 2 weeks to decide! I'm leaning towards doing it, even though I think the $75 is pricey. Does anyone know the times it is available at the Poly? I'm thinking an evening, before dinner. I'd like to not be squinting if at all possible. Do you pay when you reserve the time, or on that day? I'm thinking red tops and either khaki or denim bottoms for all of us. We've done white our last two beach trips so I want something different. I'd like orange too, but I'm thinking red might give us a nice Christmas card photo.

 

[sandym718]

Anyone know what the times are for the shoots at the Poly?

 

[kieras nana]

you can choose anytime,as long as the slot,is available.we did ours at 10.30a.m.

Anyone know what the times are for the shoots at the Poly?

I believe the times you could reserve were from 8am-4pm. That's what it was in December anyways.

 

[Praise2Him]

It depends on when the sun sets, so they go a little later in the summer. I believe last August they told me 8 am until 6 pm.

 

[sandym718]

Thank you everyone! I'd guess May would be more like the 8-6 times. I think we might try for a 5:30 on the night we're having a later dinner at T-Rex.
