SENIOR PORTRAIT PORTRAIT SESSIONS AVAILABLE NOW!!!

How Do Wayfarer Senior Portrait Sessions Work?

Once we’ve agreed upon a time and date, we will start with a 1-2 hour photo session in the location(s) of your choice. We are happy to provide you with location ideas and help you determine the best place for your portraits. You are welcome to bring multiple outfit changes. Our sessions are fun and relaxed, and aimed at keeping you comfortable and natural- we’re all about documenting the real you!

After the session we will scour through our photos, find 20-30 of the best of the best, touch them up so they are perfect, and put them on a disc for you! You will have the rights to copy, print, and post these images online. Also included in your package is a print collection, including one 8x10, two 5x7’s, and 16 wallets. These prints come from a professional printer in the states and the quality is fabulous! Additional prints and photo products will be available to purchase a la carte.

What is the Investment?

While photography is a favorite past time, it is our side job. Our teaching responsibilities take priority, so we are only able to take a limited number of portrait sessions during the winter season. We want to encourage you to book your sessions early to give us plenty of time for processing, so we are offering two pricing options.

Early Bird Pricing

If your portrait session takes place by Saturday, December 11th the cost of the package is 1500 Dhs. We only have a limited number of these sessions available! First come, first served.

Last Minute Pricing

If your portrait session takes place after December 11th, the cost of the package is 2000 Dhs.

Who is Wayfarer Studio?

We are Isaac and Jennifer Marshall… ASD elementary teachers with a passion for photography! We’ve been honored to take many of your friends’ senior portraits the last few years, and we’d love to continue with you!

McCarthy Baby Bump

It's baby bump season here in Dubai (and in Oregon- our sister Rachel is going to have a little girl ANY DAY NOW!!!) and we have had so much fun documenting such beautiful moms and their adorable bellies! Mama McCarthy was no exception- absolutely glowing and gorgeous!
The McCarthy's are new friends who are expecting baby #3 in a few weeks. Micaela, the oldest daughter of this lovely family, is in my class, and she could not be any cuter! Smart as a whip, and sugary sweet-- I am so lucky to work with her each day=). In the weeks leading up to our photo session-- actually, "sessions"... but I'll get to that in a minute-- Micaela would give me my daily hug goodbye and say, "Bye Mrs. Marshall, can't wait 'til picture day!" Awww... I just love her!
We scheduled the McCarthy's maternity photo session while my mom was visiting, so she got to come along and see us in action. We arrived at their home, and were just about to head out the door when their younger daughter, Natalie, got sick! Poor thing! Since we were already there, and everyone was looking fabulous, we did part 1 of the session at Madinat, sans Natalie, and then returned to the McCarthy's for an amazing fish curry dinner! Thanks again, guys! It's always so much fun to have a little social event with our friends/clients after their photo sessions!
We met up again a week later at the beach with a healthy (and feisty) Natalie for part 2 of the session. The girls were wearing THE most adorable white dresses I've ever seen!
Reena had warned me that once Natalie saw the water she'd want to get in and splash around. I had no idea just how determined that little gal was, but just as her mommy had predicted, and despite all attempts to keep her dry, that little fish was out splashing in the water and soaked within minutes! I have to say, even though her ruffled white dress was drenched, the curls framing her face were crusted in salt, and her chubby little hands were gritty with sand, I absolutely love that we were able to capture Natalie's true essence... a feisty little fish=). Absolutely adore her too!
We had such a great time wading in the water and wandering along the beach as the sun set. Dreamy light, cool salty breeze, lovely company... what's not to love?! It was especially entertaining to watch the girls- both such unique little spirits- stomp, or tiptoe, depending on the child, through the surf. Thanks, McCarthy's for such fun sessions! We are so excited for you and cannot wait to meet your third (and sure to be wonderful) daughter!!!

I love how one covers herself in sand ... while the other meticulously brushes off every grain she can.

Watkinson Baby Bump

This beautiful couple is expecting their first child (a little boy) and they couldn't be more thrilled! Our lovely afternoon with John and Shelley was filled with sunshine, laughter, and sand... lots of sand! We ventured out into the desert for part of their session, in search of some dunes (You'd be surprised how difficult of a task that actually was, given that we live in the middle of a desert!). This was such an exciting session- John and Shelley were eager to create some creative images, and were up for anything we suggested. We were so impressed with Shelley- she marched up those dunes like a real trooper and still looked absolutely stunning!

John and Shelley, we had a wonderful time with you guys! We are so excited for you, and cannot wait to meet your little guy. He is so blessed already- you are going to be spectacular parents!

I love this image! Can you believe it was just a lighting test shot?!
