Capture the magic of the holidays with a downtown photoshoot surrounded by dazzling Christmas lights. The vibrant glow of the cityscape, twinkling displays, and festive street decorations create a cozy, picturesque backdrop perfect for seasonal portraits, couples, or family photos. Embrace the cheerful atmosphere while experimenting with creative lighting techniques, reflections, and bokeh, making the most of the mix of ambient and city lights. This setting offers endless opportunities to create unique, enchanting photos and unforgettable holiday memories.
Photographers please do not forget your flashes and triggers as this will be a sunset/night time shoot. Models feel free to bring holiday props and your loved ones to make your photos tailored to your holiday traditions.
This theme is more of a guideline than actual rules. We don't want anyone to feel the need to purchase outfits or equipment for these events, so if what you have doesn't necessarily fit the theme it will be more than fine.
These events are TFP, Time For Print or Trade For Print, meaning that photographers and models donate their time and skills to create images and each gets a copy of the image.
We use a shoot-out format, so it's not uncommon for one model to start posing with a single photographer then other photographers join in to shoot from other angles. We have found this approach works better than forcing every participant into a rigid structure where everyone gets the same shots on a schedule. We will monitor the weather and make announcements of changes or cancellations prior to the event should they be necessary.
Minors under 19 years old are welcome if accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. The Age of Majority, the age when a person can execute a TFP agreement in AL, is 19 while it's 18 in Florida but we're trying to keep consistent guidelines across events in three States.
We reserve the right to refuse entry to or remove individuals for disruptive or threatening behavior. This is a family friendly event.
