Olyn and I are shamelessly addicted to Facebook– seriously, I must check it 5 times a day! I am so naturally nosey that watching everyone’s status updates just fulfills a guilty pleasure for me! We have so much fun seeing all the comments when we tag our clients in images or when we do giveaways on our Facebook fan page. So… we want to do more of that!
We want to expand the Long’s Photography fan page, so if we can get 500 fans by the end of the month, we will be doing monthly giveaways on Facebook!

Yea for Olyn!| Tallahassee photography
At the monthly Tallahassee Professional Photographers’ Guild meeting a few weeks ago, one of Olyn’s images was selected as “Print of the Month” for environmental portrait. (YEA for Olyn!) An environmental portrait can be one of two things– a portrait where the environment plays a large role in the image (such as a family wandering down a beach) or it can help tell a story about a subject (such as a mechanic working in a garage). Olyn captured a great image of a singer performing on stage at one of our weddings and the setting of the stage, lights and other band members complete his story.
Olyn and I both actively compete in print competitions at the local and state level. Competition is a great way to gt honest critique and better hon your skills. So, for all the photographers reading this, I really encourage you to bite the bullet and enter competition!

Rikki and Casey| Tallahassee engagement portraits
I was really beginning to think Rikki and Casey were jinxed and we would never get their engagement portraits done! We had scheduled and rescheduled so many times, but something always got in the way– weather, work, etc. So, I anxiously watched the weather channel all day yesterdya and although they said it looked like it might rain, God gave us a break and we were able to do their portraits! Now… God was kind, but he did have a sense of humor. No rain, but extreme cold for a girl who wanted to wear summer like clothes in her portraits. To their credit, Rikki and Casey were such troopers and never complained about the chilly temperatures– hopefully they will think the portraits are worth it in the end!

The Dotson Girls– Kisses Preview| Tallahassee portrait photography
Olyn and I had a great early start to our Valentines with our Limited Edition “Kisses” portraits! Over the next week, we hope to share a few of the images here! First up are the awesome Dotson girls– they were so incredibly smiley and sweet for their session. Their last session was a bit more dramatic, but this one definitely made up for it! Gosh I wish all kids were that way… one tough session and then the rest are a breeze!

An Update on Baby Ethan| Tallahassee portrait photography
Thank you to everyone for the incredibly kind phone calls, emails, IMs, notes, gifts, etc. Olyn and I have been absolutely overwhelmed with your love. Baby Ethan is a month old today and he is doing great! He is very different than his big brother and seems to be a lot more mellow. He is definitely a cuddle bug and is taking full advantage of having his G-mama at his beck and call. I think he will be thoroughly spoiled by the time he is two months old!

Something looks different…
Yes, we have finally launched the all new Long’s Photography blogsite! We were getting so many comments from clients who either didn’t know we had a blog or were fans of the blog who had never been to our main site. So… we merged the two to create a blogsite! Now you can view the latest and greatest from the studio in the same place as our static galleries and information pages.
The new blogsite also has some new features, like the subscribe option. Want to be notified every time we post to the blogsite? Just click subscribe and enter your email address!
So, take a look around, let us know what you think and see if you recognize any of the gorgeous faces in the all new galleries!
