MBJ Flytographer Session

I love the idea of having our photos done while on a vacation.  Sometimes there just isn't time with a busy itinerary, but once I saw that Flytographer had a local photographer booking sessions in Montego Bay, Jamaica, I did not want to the miss our opportunity to get our holiday card photos taken in paradise.

I corresponded with our photographer, Raheem, leading up to our session on the Friday of our trip, mostly using WhatsApp, to coordinate meeting up.  He selected Doctor's Cave Bathing Club in downtown Montego Bay as our location.  It was a beautiful setting and, especially since we had to pay to get in to the beach club, I wish we'd brought bathing suits to enjoy more of our day in this beautiful club.  I loved seeing more of the area and listening to our taxi driver tell us that Fridays in Jamaica were no cook nights (KFC is a favorite option that night) and Mondays are for soup. 

Raheem was a fun and patient photographer (yes, I'm referring to you, Jonathan, when I say patient...the man apparently can't open his eyes even a crack if he sees the sun).  Raheem sounded like an extremely prolific photographer, mostly shooting weddings, and it was interesting to learn that he'd only ever visited Montana in the U.S.  I still wonder how he ended up there of all places.  We all enjoyed meeting Raheem and am thankful for the many beautiful photos he shared with us within just a few days from our 30-minute session at Doctor's Cave Beach.  Thanks you, Raheem!

My family definitely indulged me a bit on this one, taking time away from the resort to dress up and get our photos taken, but I think they're pretty happy with the results, too.
