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

[Jennyvelaz]

yes, we had our's done on monday, 9/8. showed email, got discount, no problem at all. they put the pix on photopass card and I got to do the enhancements. and even more important - I'm doing a photoshare from the budget board so it wasn't even my name on the email and they still gave it to me - this was at WL. best $25 ever spent for a lifetime of memories with family pix with first child.

I'm doing the same on the 24th!!

 

[RadioFanatic]

yes, I did my pix at WL and got the $25 discount with the email. and no issues, they knew exactly what I was talking about and even had special $25 ticket you brought into the mercantile to pay for it.

My pix turned out great so I will definitely share when I get them. we didn't do any indoor pix but I did see one photographer taking some in the lobby by the mini geyser and bridge.

My son remembered ... it was Luis. He was very good about going out into the rain with us. He didn't care at all about being wet but was worried about the camera. Only one of our pictures ended up totally fogged up and I didn't see any water spots. I am sorry that yours didn't turn out. We really had fun in the rain.

We also had a photoshoot w/Luis on August 23rd - ours was 9:30 in the morning so it was actually nice and sunny - he was really good and took most of the shots on the beach, as that is what I wanted. I will post some when I get the cd

We just had a shoot w/ Luis @ the Poly too 9/18. I'll post the pictures when I get them. We got 79 pics. However, funny enough, my husband turned out being the bad squinter and I was worried about the kids. I had to delete about 1/3 because of the terrible squinting. We still have several good ones. I'll post when I get the cd.

We have a shoot booked for Saratoga Springs at the end of the month. I have seen pictures where familes dress similar and love them. We are a family of four, our two kids are girls ages 2 and 4. Any suggestions on what we could wear, without spenind a fortune. I would love to all do black or white turtlenecks and jeans but it will be way to warm for that... pics and ideas welcome..

It would be really warm for turtlenecks. When we did a GF shoot in May we went to Target and bought white collared polo-style shirts for all of us for about $15 ea. (the kids' shirts were a little less) and we wore jeans - DH & I in jeans, the kids in jean shorts. Didn't break the bank getting the shirts and the pictures turned out nice.

Here is a pic of the boys (all of our shirts were that style) -

We just had our photos taken yesterday at the Poly, we had Barry for our photographer, we were an hour late because of all detours because of the triathalon but he was going on break and said he would do our photos instead, after he was finished he noticed that my 3 yr old granddaughter was playing in the water on the shore throwing sand and just having a blast and he took about 20 phots of her just having fun as an extra, he added all of our photos on our photopass and said that we could add enhancements at home later.

1. Are they booking at the Yacht/Beach Club?

2. How soon in advance can you book?

3. How much are the photo sessions?

Thank you in advance!

Wanted to share a few pics from our Poly shoot a few weeks ago. Overall, we weren't impressed with the pictures but luckily we were able to get in on the $25 rate. I was disappointed that we didn't get any real good family pictures.

Yes, they are doing it at the Beach Club/YC... the desk is in the BC lobby.

You can book 30 days out as far as I know...

We did ours before the price increase on Sept. 1st. I *think* it's now $75 + the cost of the CD??? I'm sure the info is here somewhere in this thread

Here's a few shots from our August 18 photoshoot... just hours before Fay rolled in!

Has anyone done the photo session at the AKL? I want to book it for next month and was curious about how the pictures came out and where they were taken. Photos anyone?

 

[iluvwdw4ever]

We have an appt. at the Beach Club for October 8 at 6PM. I still need to pre-order the CD. Can someone help me with this????

THANKS SO MUCH!!!

[mousy_in_canada]

Can someone please explain the changes to this program for me? I read on another site this:

Guests who pre-order the PhotoCD or purchase it within the theme parks can reserve a Portraits session for $74.95 with proof of purchase (either email or receipt). Guests wishing to purchase only the Portraits session on CD can do so for $149.95. Alternatively guests who purchase the Portraits session but then wish to combine photos from the Parks may do so by bringing their CD and PhotoPass cards to any resort location for a fee of $49.95 (bringing the total to roughly $200).

ok so I pre-ordered the cd already for the $99 so when I go for my session I pay the $74.95 for the session but it is better not to add my my photopass pics because 1) it costs an additional 49.95 and 2) I can not add any enhancements to the pictures.. BUT if I go and have the session and don't use my pre-ordered CD but use it for the park pictures then I pay $149.95 at that time? Is that correct? Isn't that less expensive anyway?? I am rather confused by this. HELP eek I can't wrap my brain around these new changes.


Thanks for your help.

kldmom your pictures turned out great! Especially the one of your daughters hugging.

We just did ours at the Poly last week. We really enjoyed it and got some great shots. I still have to do some edits on the photopass website but I will post them when I get my CD!

Thats the one that makes me nervous LOL. My family and I are thinking about doing this but Im afraid theyll do this pose with my sister and I (ages 25 and 26)

I took pictures at AKL the first week of September. I've received my CD in the mail and just need to find the time to download them and post a few. We took pictures all over. One place was by the beautiful staircase, another was upstairs on the overlook where the rocking chairs were. We started out over behind where the pool is near the Huge rocks and the small bridge. They came out very nice.

woah we're back!

We ended up having two photo sessions, the planned one at GF but also one at AKL. Both of which weren't ideal!

I was pretty ill most of the trip and was looking very tired and rough for the AKL session, but the photographer definitely didnt help she just didnt seem to get the levels right in the photos and maybe the locations werent great either. The plus side was that she either didnt know what she was doing with the prices either, or I got her to lower the price - not sure which, especially considering the session wasnt booked before the price rise. When she told me the price I was very happy!

The GF session went wrong because of the weather. However, apart from that it was fantastic. The photographer was actually a photopass coordinator and really knew what he was doing with the locations, poses and the camera. We still did some outside undercover photos, but they were mainly indoor.

Best of all, I got the photopass cards from both sessions so I can do the editing. For the GF session I got the CD burnt on the spot as well so I have some photos to show people straight away whilst waiting for the main photopass cd's to come in a few weeks.
