Apr 29, 2010 | Announcements, Children's Portraits
Founded over eight years ago, The Heart Gallery is a photographic exhibit created to find forever families for children in foster care. The nationwide project includes more than 120 local heart galleries and is designed to increase the number of adoptive families for children needing families in our community. Leading the local Heart Gallery project is The Tallahassee Junior League, with Long’s Photography as their proud partner.
Austin is our latest Heart Gallery portrait and he is a total guy’s guy. Counting the days until he can get his driver’s license, Austin is totally into classic cars, especially mustangs. I have a feeling that the majority of his teen years will be spent under the hood of a car. 🙂

Long’s Photography has partnered with Big Brothers Big Sisters of The Big Bend to celebrate Father’s Day while also giving back to the children of Tallahassee. On Saturday, May 15th, Long’s Photography will be offering “In His Shoes” mini portrait sessions in the studio. Each session is just a minimum $25 donation to Big Brothers Big Sisters. There is no actual session fee or minimum purchase– each session benefits children in the Big Bend through positive mentoring relationships.
Each session is just a quick 15 minutes and are by appointment only. To schedule your appointment, contact the studio at 850.339.5799 or Linda@LongsPhotography.com Session times are first come, first serve and may book completely.
For your session, you should bring clothes for your child to dress up in such as: Dad’s shirt, tie, shoes, etc. Little girls can also dress up like Mom, so you would want to bring dresses, hats, jewelry, heels, etc. If Dad is into sports, bring his jersey, baseball hat, etc. If dad has a hobby like fishing or bowling, bring some of those items as well. Each session can accomodate up to three children ages six months and up (must be able to sit up unassisted). The sessions are limited to one outfit per child.

So much of my job is about timing. You have to be in the right spot at the right time to get the shot that you need. It might sound like I am talking about the weddings we photograph, but the same principle really applies to photographing babies! For Miss Abbie we had to wait for her to be in the right mood and once we got her happy, we moved quickly! She was so incredibly sweet and chatted up a storm while I shot away!

Baby Rhys is just BARELY sitting up now, so his six month portraits were a real balancing act! His mommy is just off to the side, catching the little guy when he would lose his balance. I started calling him a weeble, but then the rest of the day the little song, “Weebles wobble, but they don’t fall down!” was stuck in my head. Days like yesterday make me so glad no one can read my thoughts!
