D/FW Family Photo Day

[CallMeAl]

Anyone interested in participating in a "Family Photo Day?" Our brethren in the Houston area did this last year (original thread) and I believe it was quite a success.

If you are wanting a new family portrait or wanting to learn/practice/build portfolio, this would be a great opportunity. It's set up like a senior shoot, except with families. I think last year they did it in Galveston on the beach. A schedule was set up and your family's portrait was taken, then you photographed the next family, then they photographed the next, etc.

Let me know what you think? Location would be dependant on who was participating.

Interested:

Well it might just be the three of us. Check your calendars and lets set a date and location. I'm in Denton, so I'm up for suggestions for somewhere new.

[BabyHopes]

I'd be interested. Hubbies schedule is always insane, and I'm having visions of shooting with kids in tow. lol. But otherwise would LOVE to be there.

[MelanieIvy]

Sounds like fun! Right now is def the busy time so I'm curious to know what day we're looking at doing it, but I'm interested :)

[wildhairphotography]

I'm in Denton County - what dates are we thinking about?

[CallMeAl]

What is everyone's schedule like? Like everyone else, it's the busy time of the year, but I'm available on the afternoons of Saturday November 1st or 8th. does that work for anyone else?

Also, any suggestions on location? I know the Lakeside Park (Teddy Bear Park) in Highland Park has lots of good and different settings all relatively close together, but I'm game for trying something new.

Shameless Bump...

I've messaged everyone who has shown interest. Lets hear what you think.

Thanks

[BabyHopes]

We would be able to make it on the 8th, if it was in the afternoon. The ninth might work for us as well. (Nothing scheduled as of right now. lol.)

i may be able to do that! I would need to find out when would be best for shey! I am thinking weekends are best for us. i know we are BOOKED the weekend of Nov 7th - 9th! heheh we have a tattoo show, a car show, and scare fest to hit that weekend =( Its gonna be a BUSY BUSY weekend that weekend. Hopefully i will have some REALLY fantastic shots by the end of that weekend! anyway let me know when and where. we live in south arlington.

I am doing family sessions at the Lowry Woods in Denton on November 1st. Sessions will start around 4:00. I think Peter (Ahh) will be there and maybe DaShell. I plan to get there around 3:00, so come come on out. The light will be better after 5:00.

[CallMeAl]

Ok...since this is the busy time of year for all of us. Here's what I have available and suggest. How about Saturday afternoon (I might also be available in the morning), November 8th? We can start around 3pm (it's after the time change). Whoever responds first can choose the location as we are running out of time.

Since we're all wanting family portraits, we can concentrate on getting the family shots done first and then shoot any additional shots we want to as time allows. Although this is the best time for me, as that's when I can get all my family there (selfish I know), I have more time available to help with other family portraits if that date doesn't work for you. I'm not only wanting my yearly family portrait made I'm looking to help, learn and grow my portfolio.

If you have questions feel free to call me 469-363-8805

[babybluetx23]

well darn! I cant make it that weekend. that is the busiest weekend for us of the year! hehe the haunt is having their end of the season party, there is a tattoo convention in town, a car show, AND the haunt fest show =( Oh well maybe we can do another one another time.

[CallMeAl]

Like I said, that was about the only tiime I could get my family together for our portrait, but I'm willing to help you out at another time to get your family portrait done if you'd like. Just let me know.
