| What you get: |
| For $135 I shoot one roll of 35mm film consisting of 36 exposures. From this we can get 6-7 different style images. We have the ocean, rocks, sea walls, and of course the world famous Hotel Del Coronado to use a backdrops. My shooting fee includes the shoot, film, processing, 36 proofs (that you keep) housed in a nice leather album. If shooting Monday through Friday I can normally get you the proofs back by the end of the business day. For weekend shoots, your proofs will normally be available on the following Monday or Tuesday afternoon depending on my labs work load. |
| Where to go and suggestions on what to wear: |
| The rocks at the waters edge in front of the Hotel Del Coronado is a great location for your beach portraitures. There is a road just south of the Hotel Del and North of the Shores high-rises that is a very convenient place to park and just walk North the Rocks, a 5 minute walk. If this is a family portrait dressing a bit alike gives nice continuity to you portraits. Blue jeans or kaki pants seem very popular. Blue or white long sleeve shirts work well. Please remember that this is the beach and often the sea walls and rocks are damp if not wet, dress is something that you can easily launder. Some of my more popular and fun images you will get a bit wet walking in the water, please see (examples). Most people go bare foot. Please do what you are comfortable with. |
| When: |
| I do my shooting early in the morning. The reasons being that the light is nice and there are far less people on the beach to contend with. Normally the shoot starts at 8:30 in the winter and 7:30 in the Summer. The earlier the better! I will not shoot past 10 am unless it is an overcast day. Overcast days are wonderful to shoot in though they are a bit unpredictable to forecast. |
| Any other questions? |
| My job is to create the best possible portraits of you and you family. Any questions or concerns please feel free to ask. Thanks, Bill..... |
