The tote is 11x11x4, and can have a photograph of you, your buddies or the whole squad.

The cosmetic bag is 7×5, and works well with any landscape oriented image.

To arrange for your session, simply e mail schools@keanestudios.com, with the message line Family Portraits. In the e mail, just let us know how many are in your family, what names and ages are the children, and whether you would prefer the studio, courtyard or Windansea Beach.

Also, let us know if there are particular days of the week or times of the day that work better for you than others. Windansea portraits are created within the last two hours before sunset, or before 9:00 am in the morning.

Finally, let us know the best number and most convenient time for us to contact you.

We announced that Keane Studios would be posting the portraits of a few 9-11th graders photographed last week at CCA and Torrey Pines. These were picked on the basis of how well these students dressed, based on the instructions in our last e mail blast! 

For the attention they paid to what we asked (or maybe you were just lucky!) everyone pictured here will receive a 10×10 popart print like the one above. If one of these students is you, just send us an e mail to info@keanestudios before midnight, Wednesday August 20, to claim your prize! If you know one of these students, tell them to check it out!

Keep posted here at our blog in the next few days to learn more about how to VIEW YOUR IMAGES AFTER LABOR DAY, packages available, and other important ordering information.

We’re told by the building management that there have been some delays in delivering key items for the lobby, and that things should be back to normal in the next two weeks. 

Thanks for your patience… we know ours is running a little thin.

* The weather at the beach creates very different backgrounds. Sometimes, there will be beautiful sunsets, other times fog or bright sun. We’ll always pick the best spots and backgrounds to enhance that day’s feeling.

* Late in the afternoon, you can bring your dog to the beach as a buddy. If you plan to do so, please be sure to let us know! 

* Would you like to wear a swimsuit, or your prom dress, or any other change? Windansea is a surfer’s beach, and it lacks amenities! Such as a restroom or a place to change. Plan to layer your clothes, and remember – sometimes waves come in even when you don’t WANT to be wading in the surf. If you want to avoid getting wet, we’ll work a lot further away from the water. 

If you have some special idea of what you’d like to do, let your photographer know. If you’d like them to be creative with their own ideas, that’s good, too. Let’s make this a fun experience for all of us!
