Vacation photoshoot

Short means it fits a holiday. A vacation photographer meets you at the hotel, a café or a public square, works for 30 minutes, and leaves you the rest of the day. In Playa del Carmen that might be the beach before breakfast; in Oaxaca, the streets around Santo Domingo in late afternoon; in Mazatlán, the malecón at sunset; in Todos Santos, the old town before dinner. One location, chosen because it is close, keeps the whole session on camera instead of in a taxi.

A solo traveller gets a plan built for one person. The meeting point can be somewhere busy, the photographer gives direction throughout so nobody is left guessing what to do with their hands, and the pictures are of you in the place rather than of the place with you in a corner. For friends or families, the 30 minutes cover a group frame, a couple of smaller combinations and a quick portrait each, so tell us the headcount when booking.

Archaeological zones run by the Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia (INAH) and protected areas managed by the Comisión Nacional de Áreas Naturales Protegidas (CONANP) have their own rules for photography, tripods and professional work, so check them before choosing one as a backdrop. A family on holiday with small children is better served by the family session, which is paced for kids, and a couple by the couple session; a longer vacation session can be added and is quoted in writing before booking. The vacation gallery is delivered within 7 days.
