Merry Christmas 2015
This is a fun wide format Christmas Card. It opens like a book making it a fun twist on the traditional 5x7 size card. This little guy is so much fun it is almost impossible to decide on a single image for a Christmas Card. I love custom cards because you can practically send a little mini photo album to friends and loved ones once a year. Love this jolly red color.

Brooke & Grayson Engagement
Engagement sessions are so much fun and what a great way for us to get to know a couple. I love the chemistry between Brooke & Grayson. They are so natural and fun together.
I love all the personal touches and spontaneity this couple brings to a session.

The perfect grandparent Christmas card
How fun it is for grandparents to update friends and family with new photos of their children and grandchildren. Kids far and near came together for multi-session beach portraits.

Beach Postcards are perfect as Christmas Cards
I love this fun black and white Christmas Card. This is on of my favorite beach sessions each year. Kim is so friendly and warm and her session is so fun. I know her family and friends look forward to her cards each year and we are so happy to be a part of her holiday tradition.

Wall Clusters - How do I decide on sizes for the wall and for gifts?
Wondering how to decide what size to order for a wall portrait or gift prints? The most important consideration is which print(s) and the approximate size or scale for the space where you will display the print. We offer a wall grouping service that allows you to send us a photo of a wall in your home with a few key dimensions and we can scale images to give you an idea of how the wall will look with a cluster of family images. It is genius!
If however you would like to experiment at home with butcher paper taped to the wall that works as well. For those of us who are really visual sometimes it's a must.
Here are 4 examples of the same image in different sizes. The ratios remain the same the size scrolls larger or smaller. For example a 2:3 ratio can be a 40 x 60 in wall canvas or a tiny 4x6 gift print for a frame (by the way with 5 people a 4x6 is TOO small.)
A
This 1:2 ratio is a custom size - it's twice as wide as it is tall. It's really cool on a desk because it's not too big but it is an unusual size. Of course that means you'll need to get a 5x10 frame from us here at the studio because we have them custom made in quantities. Yes they are that popular especially for large family groups where the number of people is much wider than the desired height of the group.
B
Below - A 2:3 ratio is the familiar, standard 4x6 shape, but can be scaled larger to retain the composition but fill a larger space on the wall or as a print block on an easel. This is the size that comes directly out of the camera - the only size ratio where no cropping is required. We offer 8x12, 12x18, 20x30 a very popular size, 24x36 and 40x60. We actually have 3 of these on display in our studio.
C
A 5x7 is the perfect table top gift print size. It can also be scaled larger to a variety of custom sizes like 10x14, 15x21, 20x28 or 30x35
D
A 4:5 ratio is also a very familiar shape - 8x10 is a readily available frame size for gift prints. Enlargements range from 12x15, 16x20, 24x30. This ratio is just slightly off square - another of my favorite shapes.

Little Square Christmas Card
I love the beachy blue of this cute square Christmas Card. It's a 5x5 flat card with a single image on the cover plus a little family image on the back. Perfect for family and friends to display in a 5x5 frame. It's Christmas Card season here at the studio and on the beach.

Atlantic Beach Afternoon Date
I loved photographing this adorable couple on their recent visit to Atlantic Beach and our fun Beaches Town Center area. During their afternoon date we were able to tag along and share in their sweet relationship and casual easy nature. I love that they shared so comfortably and didn't need an occasion to shine. As a finished product, they selected a soft touch 8x10 desktop folio and this is on the front cover. I hope they share a desk because they'll be fighting over this.

Family Life is Full of Personality
When we say "Photography to Celebrate Life" this is exactly what we mean. Family life is full of personality, spontaneous moments and let's hope laughter. Gus and I love the opportunity to capture the fun and document for families - "Just how you interact together as a family".
You can procrastinate about weeding and cleaning the garage but don't miss these precious moments. Stop worrying about that last 5 lbs or wrinkles. Your kids do not care - they love you just the way you are. Leave a photo legacy that says I have loved spending time with you.
Yes I know you have a fancy camera, but Mom and Dad you need to get out from behind the camera and get into the photo. I have a fancy oven but I still go out to dinner and let the professionals give me an experience that is enjoyable, unique and memorable. My dinners are not always of that magical caliber.
Call me now (904) 610-5669. September and October are especially beautiful months of the year for beach portraits. Share this post with a friend!
