We aren’t big on souvenirs as a family when we go places. Maybe a few seashells and some sand left in our shorts, but photos are about the only thing we always return home with. And every time we get home, I realize that I should have gotten in more of the photos… I’m so busy capturing the kids that I forget to actually get in the picture. That is until Flytographer— a worldwide company that has photographers to use in many of the popular travel destinations.
How it works: send Flytographer an inquiry of your travel destination and dates and they should reply within 24-48 hours of availability of one of their photographers in the area you are traveling to. All the details are set up with your concierge as far as location and best time of day to shoot. Then a couple days before your shoot your concierge will send you the photographer’s number and confirm all details. Honestly everything went flawlessly (except for getting lost trying to meet our photographer…thanks Google Maps) and we will definitely be doing this more when we travel so that we have professional photos to come home with at the end of our trip.
Not only was it fun to get photos of our family on the beach, but we were also able to get a photo with all of my husband’s side of family! His brothers, their wives & children including his parents were able to join us in Charleston and it completely made the trip that we got a nice photo of all of us together. We all live in different states so I know getting a photo like this truly was the greatest souvenir to bring home!
Mackenzie of Flytogether took these amazing photos! Thank you!
Next time you book a trip, I encourage you to see if there is a photographer through Flytographer in the area you are going to! It’s so important to make sure you are getting in the photos too–especially on special vacations together! Don’t wait until your babies are grown and gone to regret not getting in picture with them!
