Itinerary
Day 1
Afternoon play, early family dinner, meet at the Hyatt Regency beach gazebo for a 7:00 PM 1‑hour sunset photoshoot on Clearwater Beach, then post-shoot treats and same-night image delivery.
Pier 60 Park — playground & beach time (stroller-friendly)
Easy, low-key afternoon play at Pier 60 Park to let kids run, use the playground, and enjoy restrooms and shaded picnic spots before dinner and the photoshoot.
Tips from local experts:
- Pier 60 has public restrooms and shaded picnic benches — plan a quick bathroom and snack break here to avoid interruptions during the photoshoot.
- Bring a lightweight stroller or carrier — the beach promenade and park paths are stroller-friendly, but avoid taking the stroller onto the sand.
- If your child needs to nap, plan it here: the park is quieter in mid‑afternoon (16:00–17:00) and gives a good buffer before dinner and golden hour.
Family dinner — Frenchy's Rockaway Grill (kid-friendly menu)
Early, relaxed dinner right on the beach strip with seafood and child-friendly options so everyone is fed and comfortable well before the shoot.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask for a table away from the loudest bar speakers — Frenchy's has family tables with views but quieter corners if requested.
- They’re allergy-aware and used to families; confirm kids' menu items and any allergies when ordering.
- Finish dinner at least 30–40 minutes before the meet time to allow restroom/change of clothes and a calm walk to the meetup point.
Walk/transfer to meet point — Hyatt Regency beach gazebo
Short walk from the beach restaurants to the Hyatt Regency beach gazebo meeting point where the photographer will greet you and do a quick briefing.
Tips from local experts:
- Allow 10–15 minutes for a relaxed stroll — little legs may lag; this gives time to button up outfits and apply sunscreen touch‑ups.
- Keep a small towel and a change of dry clothes handy in a backpack for younger kids after beach play.
- If anyone uses a stroller, follow the paved promenade to the Hyatt entrance; it’s flat and stroller‑friendly.
Pre-shoot meet & briefing — Hyatt Regency beach gazebo
Meet your photographer at the Hyatt Regency beach gazebo. Photographer will confirm poses, family groupings, and quick wardrobe tips; final restroom/change and brief warm-up before the session.
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive a few minutes early to use the Hyatt restrooms and make any last-minute wardrobe adjustments — photographers appreciate punctuality once golden hour begins.
- Bring a favorite small toy or snack to capture natural smiles and keep kids engaged during setup.
- Request the photographer to take a few quick candids of kids playing first — it warms them up for posed family shots.
1‑hour Family Sunset Photoshoot on Clearwater Beach (golden hour)
Professional photographer-led session on the sand and shoreline timed for sunset — a mix of natural poses and candid moments to capture family memories.
Tips from local experts:
- Golden-hour tip: stay flexible — the photographer will shift positions along the shoreline to use the best light; bring a light jacket if the sea breeze is cool at sunset.
- For kids: bring a quick-change outfit and non‑messy props (a favorite hat or a small kite) to keep photos playful and authentic.
- Footwear note: barefoot or simple sandals photograph best; bring flip-flops to change into between shots if the sand is hot.
Post-shoot stroll & treat — Kilwins or Pier 60 promenade
Relaxed post-shoot walk toward Pier 60 for kids' play and ice cream or a treat while the photographer prepares same‑night edits.
Tips from local experts:
- Kilwins has quick cones and sundaes — a perfect post-session treat to celebrate and distract kids while images are processed.
- The Pier 60 playground is well-lit at dusk; brief play helps kids unwind after the session.
- Carry a small zip bag for wet clothes and a towel so kids stay comfortable during evening activities.
Same-night image delivery & farewell with photographer
Photographer shares edited digital images the same evening (download link or file transfer) and confirms how you’ll receive final high-res files and prints if ordered.
Tips from local experts:
- Confirm how images will be delivered (email link, shared album, or messaging) and ensure you have space on your phone to download them before leaving the beach.
- If you want prints or framed options, ask for pricing and turnaround times during this handoff — vendors often arrange local printing.
- Verify names/spellings for file labels and ask the photographer which shots they recommend for a framed family portrait.
