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!

Tytus

Remember these gorgeous parents-to-be? Well, here is their sweet son, Tytus! Born just before Christmas, Tytus came into the world with the most incredible full head of black hair. I love it... and I'll admit it, I'm a little jealous! Our newborn portrait session took place in John and Shelley's dizzying high rise apartment on a bright, sunny afternoon just after the first of the year. We were so happy that Ty's lovely grandparents were visiting from South Africa, and were included in some of the portraits. When they weren't doting on their grandson, they were feeding us! They introduced us to pancakes with cheese and syrup, which sounded strange at first, but was delicious! What a lucky little guy Tytus is to have been born into such a loving and caring family!

Brock

It's pretty common for our friends and colleagues at school to stop and chat with us about Wayfarer- thank you ASDers for your support! Whenever anyone asks whose senior portraits we've taken recently and we say Brock's name, their immediate response is, "Oh, he's such a great guy!" Every single time! Without fail! How cool is that? And he truly is a great guy. He's so kind, and has a wonderful easy going sense about him. It was a beautiful, breezy afternoon when we met up with Brock for his senior portraits at our favorite beach spot. His mom, one of those fabulous ASDers we work with, tagged along, and it was so precious to see her watch Brock with such obvious pride and admiration. We know she thinks- scratch that- knows he's a really great guy as well!
Thanks again, Brock and Tammy, for asking us to document this exciting milestone for you! Best of luck, Brock, with all your future adventures!!!

JC and Christy

We were so excited when we found out JC and Christy got engaged this past fall! We met this wonderful couple through softball- Isaac and JC play on the same team, and Christy and I do our best to hold the bleachers down during the games... it's a tough job, but somebody's got to do it=). We were so honored when they asked us to take their engagement portraits, and we had an absolute ball (no pun intended) spending the afternoon with them! We started our session in Old Town, at JC and Christy's place, so that their handsome pup, Romeo, could get in a few shots... he's so cute that he made it into plenty! Then we headed down to Bur Dubai and explored an AWESOME art gallery called Bastakiya. We couldn't believe that in our nearly 3 years here, we'd never been there before! Well, we've already been back (interestingly enough, for a senior portrait session the next day- more to come on that soon) and we are looking forward to some special exhibits and events that will take place at Bastakiya this month! During JC and Christy's session the weather was incredible, the light was dreamy, and our models were gorgeous- couldn't ask for more than that! There were so many fascinating little nooks and crannies to explore in Bastakiya, and we eventually found ourselves down by the creek just as the sun set. We worked up quite an appetite shooting, and afterward we all enjoyed a fabulous dinner- many thanks again, guys!

Joanna

Joanna is another lovely ASD senior. She's an incredibly talented actress, and we saw her portray a fabulously sultry museum curator, in our school's hysterical fall musical, All Shook Up. Beautiful, intelligent, a great sense of humor, and oh-so talented- this girl is going places! We thoroughly enjoyed spending the afternoon getting to know Joanna while taking her photos at Jumeira Beach Park.

Thank you, Joanna, for asking us to document this milestone in your life, and best of luck to you in all your future adventures!!!

Dana

We had plenty of laughable moments during beautiful Dana's senior portrait session. They began when a Japanese tourist interrupted us so he could have his photo taken with me... definitely strange! This was followed by a little good-natured flirting with a security guard at the Mina A'Salam as a means of getting ourselves onto the beach for some shots (good thing Isaac wasn't with us for this shoot... don't think we would have been as successful in this venture!). And finally, darting in and out of honking traffic in the crazy intersection by the Burj al Arab in order to get just the right shot, while tourists snapped pictures of Dana's car! Definitely plenty of silly moments! I had a great time chatting with Dana and her mother, and enjoyed hearing about Dana's plans for the future. Thank you again, ladies, for such a lovely afternoon!
