Limited Edition Pumpkin Patch Portraits

I love doing the annual Pumpkin Patch Portraits. It makes me think it's fall in Florida even when the temps are still in the 80's. This year I have a fantastic backdrop - an old weathered portion of a fence to go along with the corn stalks, haybales and the pumpkins. While most people opt to have the pumpkins in the portrait, I can just as easily remove them for a sweet fall portrait without the Halloween feeling.

This year not only will you be able to get some wonderful portraits at a great price, but you'll be helping out an awesome cause: The All Faiths Food Bank. Each and every penny of the $10 session fee will be donated to All Faiths by Studio B and your generosity.

The basic date and time information is below. I will be listing package prices as well as some really cute outfit suggestions in another post.

Hope to see you and the kidlings at the patch! :)

Urban Session - Part II

I think this first image may be one of my absolute favorites from this session.

Who knew a garbage dumpster could be such a great backdrop? If you can stand the smell... :)

Love, love, love the grunge factor in this image. Nothing done in Photoshop with that one - just a perfect backdrop.

Urban Session - Part I

Photographed this gorgeous girl recently in my favorite "urban" setting. So many wonderful images that it will take a few posts to share them all, but I want to show the great variety. Enjoy!

Yummy New Backdrops

Gearing up for fall and winter seasonal sessions with these gorgeous new backdrops. Don't you just love the colors? The neat thing about them is that they are essentially two-sided. The pattern is the reverse color on the back side, so if you have a preference for one color over another you've got a choice! I can't wait to try these puppies out. (More information to come in the next few days about Fall Pumpkin Portraits and Holiday Mini Sessions) The black and red backdrops will be gorgeous for holiday images, don't you think?

Light is Everywhere

Pretty cool stuff, eh? If you look in the upper right corner of these images you will see the night stars. When I stepped outside to take these photographs I didn't see anything other than the stars and black sky. That is, until the lightning flashed and lit up the clouds. Taking images of lightning is even more exciting than shooting fireworks because you never know what you're going to get. :)

The Ross Family

Love this family. :) They are so down-to-earth and some of the nicest people you could ever meet. Oh, and they know how to get silly - which I love. This first image was actually one of the last images from the session. The kids had been waiting for forever to get to make their "silly faces." Are they good at weird faces or what?!

Not only was this one good-looking family (all uber-coordinated), but they have this awesome property as well. So many nice areas for great images.

Adam owns a woodworking business and does some beautiful work. You can check out his site here.

Meet Hootie, the family dog. Nice dog. He did a great job. You should have seen me trying to get his attention though. Squeaking and whistling. The things I do to get the perfect image. :)

Gulf Gate Animal Hospital Session

If you are looking for a veterinarian for your pet, Gulf Gate Animal Hospital is the place to go. When we had cats we brought them here and they received great care. In fact, one time when our cat Emmett was pretty sick, "Jeanette the Vet" called at night to ask how he was doing because she was thinking about him. How sweet is that?! Everyone who works here absolutely loves animals and it shows. Here are some images from their session:

They recently updated and remodeled their clinic. It looks awesome!

Veterinarians Kate Cole, Jeanette Cole and Ed Cole. The number for the clinic is 922-3917. Give them a call if you have any questions about your pet.
