Vacation Photoshoots

Why should I consider it?

Are you the person that always has the perfect photo to share?  Or are you the person that can never find the perfect photo?

It doesn’t matter which person you are, but scheduling a photo shoot with a local photographer to catch some amazing photos while traveling is a fantastic trip extra!

Traveling photo shoots create the perfect opportunity to capture stunning photos to create

  • perfect holiday cards to send to friends & family,
  • amazing canvas prints for your home,
  • memory books to share with the family
  • ornaments to commemorate the years’ adventures

For professionals and students, capture unique and stunning headshots that will set you apart from the crowd!

If you’d like to explore this idea, I recommend checking out Flytographer, an industry partner specializing in connecting travelers with local destination photographers.

The shoots are short, fun, and natural in style, and their over 500 local photographers have been carefully vetted for talent and personality. They act like a local friend, strolling around & sharing insider tips as they snap beautiful memories that capture your vacation story forever.

Can't I just snap a photo with my phone?

More and more places are banning selfies, selfie sticks, and other devices for DIY photoshoots.  Having a local professional will ensure you have a smooth experience with gorgeous backdrops without the risk of fines.

Can't I get someone else to take photo with my phone?

Yes, but it is a risk.  Unfortunately, tourists are often more likely to face petty thefts like pickpocketing.  Sometimes, a friendly passerby offering to take your photo may not actually be so friendly and may simply be trying to get your phone only to run off with it – and all your vacation photos, documents, GPS, etc.

If you do this, it is better to be the one to ask someone to do it than take up someone offering to do it.

 

Do I have to take special clothes?

Packing anything special for a photo session is unnecessary unless you have the space and want specific outfits – you do you!  If you want the whole crew wearing kitschy patterns on your Hawaii beach trip, have at it – and send me one!

However, don’t stress about coordinating outfits and looking super put together—lifestyle photos with smart casual looks fit in anywhere.
