Wesley Chapel and Tampa’s Children Photography Studio – Children’s Christmas Portraits

Yesterday we kicked off our second series of Limited Edition Sets. Did I say we had 600 pounds of sand? I meant we really have almost 1000 pounds! Wow … that was a fun Saturday evening loading all that in to the studio. HA! The harder part will be unloading it Wednesday night. But that is still 3 days away and we are enjoying every minute of photographing on this set. Mr. Sandman’s nose survived the entire day! That is a vast improvement over last year where several kids yanked it off. Lets keep our fingers crossed for the rest of the week!

Each session yesterday was amazing. The kids had a great time playing in the sand … even if at first they were apprehensive about getting their toes in to it. By the end of each session, every child was getting down and digging with their shovels. Luckily, unlike the real beach … our sand is dry, so it is easy to wipe off. Although I do think there were a few babies that needed a bath or two

If you haven’t booked your session yet, we do have some times available on Tuesday and Wednesday. Call 813-994-4552. The session fee is only $35 and packages start at $95. Won’t you have fun designing your Christmas Cards with a true “Florida Christmas” design?

Here are a few teaser images from yesterday.

And lets not forget the ever popular “tea stained” effect we can do to these images to give them a vintage feel!

I can’t wait for all the kids to come play in the sand with me today

Wesley Chapel and New Tampa Children’s Photography – Portrait Party Box Idea

Let me lay out the scene for you …

You just finished throwing your child’s birthday party. You download all the photographs to your computer and realize you took over 200 photos. Then the emails start coming in from your friends and family who also took a ton of pictures. Your mind starts swimming around how in the world you are going to ever find the time to choose your favorites and scrapbook the party. Months go by. The images are still sitting on your computer, nothing is printed and you still have nothing but some pixels on your computer to remember the party! A year goes by … you finally decide to print out the pictures, but can’t remember the funny things your child said or did to come up with the perfect scrapbook pages. The frustration sets in, you are a bad mother, how could you have waited so long to document such an important birthday!

Are you feeling me? Been there? Done this?

If you are like me, you have all these grand plans of scrapbooking and sometimes you do it, and sometimes life gets in the way and you don’t.

For Eryn’s 3rd birthday this year I came up with a new idea and wanted to share it with you. If you were following Facebook yesterday, you saw a glimpse of it as I used the box for my drawing.

The lab I order the proof boxes from now has a thicker size! So I thought … HEY!!! I can print out every image I took from her party and put it in this box I designed to remember the event. Since it is nice and thick, I can also put in one of her birthday invitations, thank you note, napkin and thoughts I wrote down about the day.

Now the pressure is off on having to scrapbook every picture. I can look the box and pick a handful to do a few spreads. Much easier and much more likely to get done! Plus, even if I never scrapbook anything, I have her entire party in one box to always remember that special day.

If you love this idea, I would be happy to make a box for your child’s party. All I need is one or two photos for the front and back (or we could use something from their session), a color scheme and whatever you want to say. That is it! Then all you have to do is print your photos for a wonderful happy memory box.

The cost of this box is $175.
