When you turn up the distinctive purple driveway into Emara Estate, you instantly know you’re arriving somewhere pretty special. There’s a good reason for this unusual color for a driveway too… This stunning property formerly belonged to music sensation, Prince, and refers to his hit, Purple Rain. Once his home in Turks and Caicos, the estate is now available as a beautiful vacation rental for the discerning visitor looking for a luxury retreat. The property sits on a hill above the south bank of Providenciales, with gorgeous views surrounding the very private home and overlooking the quintessential turquoise waters of the island.
Luxury Villa Family Vacation
With seventeen bedrooms split between two villas, Emara Estate suits multi-generational families staying for a reunion and is ideal for generating the quality family time we all desire. Multi-generational families comprise of grandparents, parents, their siblings and own young children. In this fast-paced world we live in, getting together often doesn’t happen as much as we’d like and it can take booking a vacation away to ensure it does!
India and Greg had travelled from Charlotte, North Carolina, with their five children who each had spouses and their own children, comprising a party of 22 people. To create some vacation memories, they booked a two-hour photo session including two photographers with Paradise Photography. This would ensure everyone could have their pictures taken as a whole family as well as the sub-family groups.
We also took pictures with grandchildren and grandparents, all the cousins together, the adult children and their parents, and many candid moments too.
Family Photography at Emara Estate
Emara Estate has so many photographic locations and we started with pictures in the living room, a round space with large windows, allowing plenty of light in. We directed the guests to the sofa as the architecture of the room framed them beautifully against the archway and shelving behind. After that, we headed out onto the pool deck which offers a spectacular ocean backdrop below. Lastly, we took the pathway down to the private beach for another full group shot with everyone’s toes in the sand, followed by the smaller family group pictures. By now, the sun was going down and the group was enjoying their photo session which meant we had the opportunity to capture some fun moments shared by the family playing in the sand, discovering a hermit crab, and running along the beach.
All in all, this photo session at Emara Estate was a great success. The family will have some beautiful memories of their time together in Turks and Caicos and professional portrait images to display in their homes and look at and enjoy every day.
