Family Portraits
Whether you are here on vacation, or call the island home, the beaches and vistas of Roatan make a great backdrop for family photos. We can capture vibrant bright daytime photos that show off the turquoise sea and blue sky. Or you may opt for more subdued evening sunset photos. Either way, we can provide you with family portraits that you will be proud to hang on your wall, and will provide memories for years to come.
After your photo session, images will be uploaded to your own online gallery. From here you can choose your favorites, order prints and wall hangings, and even share your favorites online with friends and family. Once you have picked your favorite images and ordered your prints, we perform additional retouching before they are sent to the lab. Retouching is free on all prints 12x12 and larger.
FAQ
What can I expect during the photo session?
We will meet you at the location of your choice with studio lighting and setup your scene. We will shoot a variety of photos in as many poses as possible in your allotted time. A one hour portrait session for a family of 5 typically results in 5 to 7 family groups and 30-40 proofs to choose from. Family groups may include: children, parents, boys, girls, or the whole family. Many families choose to utilize multiple scenes such as under a palm tree, on the water's edge, and even jumping in the water. The more scenes we shoot, the longer the session will take.
What happens after the photo session?
We will edit the photos leaving just the best of each scene, then post-process the images and upload them to your online gallery. You will be sent the address, and password (if applicable) for your gallery.
How do I see the proofs from my session?
Proofs from your photo session will be uploaded to an online gallery. You will be sent a link with details how to view your proofs.
What are the fees?

We understand it is important to you to view your proofs as soon as possible, so we provide a quick turn-around. Typically proofs are available from 2-5 days after your photo session.
How soon before I receive my prints?
After you submit your order, we will perform additional retouching on prints larger than 12x12. This process takes 1 to 2 days.

Lab prints are available in a number of sizes, from small 5x7 proof sized images to 20 in by 30 in. Lab prints are available as a stand alone print, mounted to foam or art-board, or framed with your choice of frame and mat-board.
For stunning long lasting wall prints, we recommend canvas gallery wraps to showcase your images. These feature your image printed on art canvas and wrapped around a 1.5in wood frame. Your photo literally wraps around the sides of the frame giving it a 3D view that does not require any additional framing.
Your photos are also available in acrylic key-chains, greeting cards, magnets, and even functional postage stamps.
