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.

Senior Portraits & Graduation Announcements

Wondering if it's okay to mix black and white and color images on a senior graduation announcement - well of course it is.  Any beautiful image that you love from your session will work well with other beautiful images that you love.  Mix it up and have fun.  

Both images would make for a gorgeous front cover on this card.

Custom Photo Graduation Announcements - Ponte Vedra Inn & Club, FL

Sarah is so natural at the beach.  She was in her element and it was fun photographing her at the Ponte Vedra Inn & Club because it's beautiful and holds special memories for her growing up.

Fletcher High School Graduation Announcements

I love what I do and photographing a larger volume of High School Seniors has been a blast this year. It is so much fun getting to meet all of these vibrant, enthusiastic young people who are embarking on all of the firsts that life has to offer.  Gabby is a delightful young woman with a comfortable and confident demeanor.  I love that she lives near the beach but wanted her own style to show through in her graduation announcements.  She was fun a to work with and her eyes are beautiful - soft but knowing.  It's like looking into her heart.  Best of luck at LSU, Gabby.
