Ron and Renee go on another Photo Safari- skimmers on the public beach

 We put together a litte video we thought you might enjoy of our Photo Safari that we mentioned below. Thanks to the skimboarders and their friends for sharing their tallent. We all shared a beautiful sunset that evening.

Surfin'

We had a great time at the Gulf Shores public beach last night. Ron and I wanted to photograph birds along shore. But there were some young guys out there cutting up the surf with their skim boards. They looked so great we asked permission to photograph them and they turned out to be extremely nice. We thought they must be from Michigan or something because the water was still very cold from last week's freeze. But "no" they are from Gulf Shores! Dakota Caodwell, Austin Fulmer & Logan Canan. Thanks Guys!

Ron goes Up!

We are now offering Aerial photography! It's awsome for homes & businesses, especially if you are near the water. It shows off your property beautifully. And Ron LOVED going up in this little antique Barn-Stormer. He got some great pics & he can't wait for his next assignment. Ron's pilot, Bar Eisennhauer, with "the Bird of Paradise" out of Gulf Shores Airport was really nice and very accomodating. Although small (two passenger) this vintage 1940 Taylorcraft BL-65 works best for photogrphers he says. There is just one wing located above the cockpit so that it does not block the view of the camera. But Bar also offers offers fun Historic Biplane rides for multiple passengers. Call: 1-866-MUST FLY.

The Little Gym

Fun for Baby and You!

Ron and I played with & photographed our grandaughter during her weekly "workout" at the Little Gym in Daphne. What an awsome program for children of all ages!! The instructor is top of the line. With her creative supervision they learn to control their bodies while they play with fabulous, safe, gym equipment, learn to follow instructions & interact with children their age. Check out their website: http://www.tlgeasternshoreal.com/ But first watch our short video of our daughter Bethany & our precious and perfect Tessa showing her baby skills at:

Personal Touch Painting

We couldn't be more proud of our daughter Bethany's artistic accomplishments. Just this year she joined our studio to create beautiful painted works of art from the portraits we take. We still use artists from our imaging lab in Missouri for paintings, and they are wonderful. However Bethany can ad a more personal touch, and be more flexible to our client's needs since she is located here.

Why a Painted Portrait? It's difficult to describe how beautiful they are. We have samples in our studio that will Wow! you. Please stop in and see... Also the images on our website give you some insight. When you see them you'll want one for your family. These portraits are handed down as a cherished heirlooms. And until now the only way to have a painting like this was to commission an artist to produce an original portrait at considerable expense. Now we can offer an new option. You can choose to have your favorite Surf Side Photography beach image transformed into fine art that has the look and feel of an original oil painting. Bethany uses a specialized stylus to paint colors and brushstrokes on a digital canvas. After hours of detailed work, the inner beauty, emotion and personality of the subject comes shining through. As an artist, Bethany want's to stur your soul by transforming your original photograph into a stunning painted work of art.
