If I could be 16 again . . .

If I could be 16 again . . .

OK . . . if I  could be 16 again I think I'd hire a professional photographer and have some fun glamour shots taken with my BFF or group of friends.   No one told me how magical youth was ~ how I'd possibly never be cuter, in better shape, more optimistic or more fun loving.    Oh to be 16 again ~ so full of life and laughter.  Of course if I were 16 today I'd probably have 2,000 selfies ~ not fabulous but oh so fun.

This spring our family mailbox and inbox has been filled with invitations for clever "Sweet Sixteen" parties and high school graduation festivities.  That's what happens when you have teenagers in your life and home.    

So what do you do as a photographer when your own daughter turns 16?  We decided to forego the traditional Sweet Sixteen party and pack up our gear and head out for a fun themed portrait session instead. 

It was such a hit with her friends we are offering themed Sweet 16 photography sessions, one every month for the rest of the year.   On the 16th of every month, beginning in June, we will be heading off on a different themed photography adventure.  Why not bring your 2 best friends or make it a Sweet 16 photo party.  

Join us this summer for one of our Sweet 16 photo themes or call us to design your own theme.

2016-17 Senior Portrait Sessions at the beach, historic St. Augustine, a driftwood beach and more.

We are loving this season in our business and enjoying the opportunity to photograph so many fun, 

spontaneous and creative teens.

Schedule a Summer Sweet 16 Portrait session

We have some really fun themes planned this summer - call me for details.  Limited openings available each month. So if you know someone who is turning sixteen, please share this fun memory making opportunity with them.  They'll thank you now and for years to come.

SWEET 16 Themed summer photography sessions

Baby's First Christmas Card

Family Photo Christmas Card with address change

Alesch Family Photo Christmas Card

These boys were so fun to photograph.  As you can see no lack of personality here.  The card will be a 5x7 foldover with an image of the boys on the front.  The card opens to a family image and message and a fun buddy hug on the back.

Christmas Photo Postcards - custom designed for each client

I love this fun postcard Christmas Card.  Offset with lots of room to write a personal note if you choose and if not it just looks fun and contemporary.

 

Portrait Christmas Cards is in full swing

 

This is a 5x7 foldover, watercolor card with a white envelope.  The back of the card is also green.

Holiday Photo Cards at the Beach

 

This 5x5 tri fold card is a photo album in an envelope.  What better way to catch up with a growing family than a mini photo album in a Christmas Card. 

Christmas at the Beach

Nothing like living at the beach.  When it comes to celebrating Christmas we rather like the warm, white ground cover.  Here we call it sand.  And unlike the Northern variety - it actually feels good between your toes.  Ben and Bear are always so much fun to photograph.  Bear was a really good sport reindeer ears and all.
 Mom and Dad selected a 5x5 Trifold card.   It's easy to see why - there are so many adorable photos of this little boy.  Use your imagination.  Both side panels fold into the center to make a 5x5 square card.  When you open the card the message flap is on the right and a photo is on the left.

 

 

 

This is the inside.  The left and right photos fold in onto the center 4 photos.
