Merry Waves and Christmas Days!  

The session takes place at Guincho Beach. However, if you have another favorite beach suitable for a photoshoot, we can hold the session there. A hilly area is especially important for beautiful photos.

It’s best to choose a day without rain — I always monitor the weather forecast. Sessions are held at sunrise or just before sunset, when the light is soft and beautiful.

For a Christmas photoshoot, it’s important to create a matching look, and clothing will help with this. Check your wardrobe: you might have knitted sweaters with Christmas patterns in red and white or green and white tones. If not, plain beige knits with a chunky texture will work as well. The whole family should be dressed in a coordinated style. If you don’t have anything suitable, you can buy clothes from a store and return them afterward, keeping the tags on if you don’t plan to wear them later.

Let me know in advance, and we can discuss some motivation options. Usually, the promise of candy or a small gift after the session helps. There’s no need to pose for the photoshoot — we keep it playful. The sled adds fun, and kids usually love it. At the same time, it’s important to ensure safety: hold the child from behind, make sure they’re holding on, and don’t go too fast.

If you have two or more children, please let me know in advance who may lose interest faster. We’ll start with that child to capture individual shots as well as photos with parents for each child. We begin with those who tire or get distracted more quickly.

Remind him that family photos are future memories that will be cherished by you and the whole family.

Suggest taking just a couple of photos, assuring him that it won’t take much time. You can also show examples of the style of the shoot (see the “Announce” section) to give him an idea of how natural and beautiful the photos can turn out.

Additionally, let me know in advance if your husband isn’t enthusiastic about the session. Sometimes it’s helpful to give him time to observe the process — he may decide to join in later. During the photoshoot, there’s no pressure to pose, no need to look directly at the camera. I’ll give prompts like playing with the child, running, or spinning around —these activities help everyone relax and feel natural.

The  weather is not good at this time of year ((of course we postpone the shooting to another day

The prepayment is 20% of the cost of the selected package and is non-refundable. You can reschedule the shooting date no later than 24 hours before it starts, if the rescheduling is not related to weather conditions.

You will receive the photos on a closed cloud drive 5-7 days after the photo shoot with storage access for 1 month. If your package includes photo printing: photos will be printed 2 days after you select them. Photo album: 8 days after the layout has been approved with you.
