OUR BIGGEST MODEL CALL… EVER! {Tallahassee model photos}

I have so many creative ideas that I need models for, so here it is… our biggest model call EVER!  I have some shoots I will be doing in the next few weeks, others in the next few months and some of the entries will be held for future projects I haven’t even thought of yet!  We need models of every shape, size, color, age and gender, so don’t hesitate to send a photo in.  While it might not be right for one of the shoots I am working on at the moment, I will keep it on file for anything that may come up!

We are looking for models for:

Boudoir (implied nudity)

Pinup (prefer that model has retro or vintage looking clothing)

Newborns

Musicians with their instruments

Maternity with implied nudity

Bodybuilders/boxers/wrestlers

Brides and grooms (in their wedding attire)

Men with heavy tattooing

High school junior and seniors

A litter of puppies

Any wrinkly type dog– bulldog, sharpei, basset hound, etc.

Really chubby babies in the 6-8 month range that can sit but not yet crawl

Family with elementary to middle school age children

Maternity progression portraits starting with sessions BEFORE 8 weeks

Dancers, especially ballet, ages 12+

 

If you are interested in any of these sessions or you would like us to keep your image in our model file, just email any image to Linda@LongsPhotography.com along with your contact info and the type of session you are willing to do. As a model, there is no charge for the session and you will receive an 8×10 print at no charge at the order session.  Additional images from the session are available at our regular pricing.

2011 Tallahassee Photographer of the Year and Tallahassee Top Three Photographer!

Last night, I was named the 2011 Tallahassee Photographer of the Year and Olyn was named one of the Top Three Tallahassee Photographers for 2011!  These awards are from the Tallahassee Professional Photographers Guild, based on the quality of our work.  Each month, we enter print competition that is judged by other Tallahassee photographers and once each year, we have certified judges that score our images in a formal competition.  Through the points earned in those competitions, Olyn and I have won these titles. We are so grateful to the other photographers who scored our images so highly and I am personally grateful to Olyn for being such a driving force in challenging me and keeping me on my toes!  It was truly the best way we could ever imagine ending the year!

Please help us give some smiles this Christmas!

Every three minutes a child is born with a cleft — often unable to eat, speak, socialize or smile. In some places these children are shunned and rejected. And in too many cases, their parents can’t afford to give them the surgeries they need to live a normal life.

This year, Long’s Photography is working to make a difference.  From December 1-25th we will be accepting online donations for Operation Smile.  For each dollar that is donated, we will provide a matching donation to Operation Smile AND your name will be entered to win a $700 prize pack including a family portrait session, framed portrait and prints.  If you wish to donate $1, your name will be entered once, $100 will get you 100 entries, and so on.  To donate, please CLICK HERE

Operation Smile is an international charity providing much needed surgical services– more 200,000 free surgeries for children and young adults born with cleft lips, cleft palates and other facial deformities since 1982.  For every $240 that is raised, another child will receive a surgery.  For more information about Operation Smile, please go to www.OperationSmile.com

We hope you will help us heal children’s smiles and bring hope for a better future.  Please donate as much as you can to help these children!  To donate, please CLICK HERE
