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!

Saunier Family

Meet the Saunier Family! Melonie sent us the sweetest letter, asking to set up a "Dubai" family portrait session before moving back to the United States this summer. We spent a toasty, but fun-filled afternoon with the Sauniers at Madinat and the beach. The kiddos were full of wonderful spunk, and we looked for every opportunity we could to have Andrew get tickled! It was such a joy to document this beautiful family at some of Dubai's best-known sites, and it was our hope that these photos would act as a warm reminder of their time in the UAE. Not everything goes as planned, however, and sometimes unexpected changes turn out to be wonderful. Not long after the session, the Sauniers' learned that they will not have to move. They are staying in Dubai! Woo hoo!!! We're so happy for you guys!

Heath Maternity

I was so excited when Kristi told me she had a bandeau style top... and that she was willing to wear it for her maternity photo session! You'll see why... =)

Tim and Kristi were just a few days away from welcoming their precious son, Owen Charles, into the world, when we met for maternity portraits. We started at Madinat... such a popular site for our portraits here in Dubai. Every time we go, we try to find some fresh new sites for our portraits, and I think we found some goodies! Tim and Kristi were absolutely adorable together! Their love for one another was evident and their excitement for the arrival of their little boy was tangible. Kristi was absolutely glowing- doesn't she look fabulous?! Can you believe she was just about to have a baby?! She was so tiny!!! Just before sunset we headed to the beach, and the bandeau top made its appearance...

I was afraid Kristi would think I was crazy when I suggested she don a bikini and wade around in the ocean during her maternity session, but she jumped right on board. Yay!

Photobucket
Isn't she stunning?!

Kristi is a middle school science teacher. I was a zoology major. So, what do two science nerds do when they get together? Conduct an experiment, of course!

We decided to test whether 9-month pregnant women could float.

Please forgive me for not using the scientific method... I have limited time these days... so, skipping the background research, hypothesis, blah, blah, blah... we ran a few brief tests.

Our conclusion?

Photobucket
No. No, they cannot float. =)


Photobucket
I ended up needing a change of clothes... waded out a little deeper than I'd planned... but the soaking wet clothes were well-worth it! Thanks again, Tim and Kristi for such a fabulous evening! We can't wait to take portraits of little Owen=).

Allie and Chad

Allie and Chad are brand new friends- in fact, we met the morning of their engagement session! Our mutual buddy, Christine, went the school with Allie back in Canada, and then they reunited years later here in Dubai. Isn't life funny like that?! Christine, together with two of her sweet friends, hired us to take Allie and Chad's photos as a surprise engagement present! What fun!!! We spent a very bright and sunny morning together, in search of shady spots at Bastakiya. Allie and Chad were absolutely adorable together, and so clearly in love! We chatted about their lives, engagement, and wedding plans- in Costa Rica! WOW!!! Just a tad bit envious of those plans... =). We thoroughly enjoyed our time spent with these gorgeous lovebirds, and are so honored that we were able to document this exciting time in their lives!

Allie and Chad, it was so wonderful meeting you both! Wishing you many years of love, laughter, adventure and happiness together!
