Storybook Santa 2020

Storybook Santa 2020

What a wild and crazy year 2020 has been!!  Its definitely one we won’t forget, but did you actually make memories you will WANT to remember??

Santa experiences this year have been cancelled in most places and the few that are still having them will have Santa behind plexiglass and he is wearing a plastic face shield… not very magical! 

At Long’s Photography, we are turning our Tallahassee studio into the ultimate North Pole experience AND we are doing it safely!  Santa will be in town November 21, 22, 28 and 29 ONLY!  Those not being photographed must wear facemasks and everyone will have their temperature taken to enter the building.  There are no lines, no waiting, no crowds and the set is cleaned and sanitized between each client.

Each session can accommodate up to six people and your children will get quality one-on-one time with St. Nick!  Santa will write each family a personalized letter that you receive before the session, then Santa will call your children by name when he sees them!  Santa will help them find their names on the “Nice List”, sprinkle some Christmas magic on them, share some Christmas cookies and make memories that they will treasure for a lifetime!

Book your session by November 10th and use code MAGIC to save $50 on your session fee!  The session fee includes the Santa experience only.  We will have you schedule a second appointment the week after the portrait session where you will view the unretouched images to make your purchase decisions.  Storybook Santa sessions have a limited menu available so that we may deliver as many of the products as we can before Christmas!  For more detailed pricing, visit the pricing page of www.LongsPhotography.com

The Keller Family

The Keller Family

Tallahassee summers are just brutal.  The intense heat and humidity really limit sessions outside to the hour after sunrise and the hour just before sunset.  I was so thrilled that the Kellers joined me just after sunrise at the lake at Southwood.  We got to play and get the portraits in just before Miss V was ready for a nap!

McFarland Boys

McFarland Boys

CHAOS!  LOL  What else can you say about a session with a five year old, 18 month old, two grown doggies and a puppy?  While the session may have been a whirlwind, its a true representation of this time in the lives of the McFarland Boys.  This is real life– its dirt, bugs, a grumpy face and an unexpected snack.  While it isn’t “perfect” by textbook standards, in twenty years this momma will look back on her boys and remember all the chaos fondly and she will cherish these moments of wild boys and dogs!

Ducks and Bunnies 2020

Ducks and Bunnies 2020

This was the tenth year we have done the Ducks & Bunnis mini-sessions  at the studio and I have to say it was a year like no other.  With concerns over Covid-19, many sessions cancelled and this was the lowest number of sessions we have ever done, BUT each and every one of the sessions we did was AWESOME!  We had so much fun creating Easter portraits in the studio gardens.  Its such a joy to watch the children interact with the animals!  To all the families who kept their sessions and helped us make it through the Covid shut down, I thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Award Winning Tallahassee Photography

Award Winning Tallahassee Photography

COVID19 is NO fun.  We miss our friends, our routines, our sense of normal.  I desperately miss being in the studio, playing with all the kiddos, snuggling all the babies and spending time with all my clients.  I am so blessed to be a part of a very large network of professional photographers and through this we have stayed connected online to give each other support and friendship.  One of the most importrant of these groups is my home guild- the Tallahassee Professional Photographers Guild.  

This group is where I first put myself out there to network with other professional photographers.  13 years later, this group is some of my closest friends on the planet and they are my “co-workers” in a sense.  We celebrate each others successes and we help comfort in times of failure.  They have my back and I have theirs through thick and thin, so connecting tonight online instead of in person for our monthly meeting was just what I needed.

I was thrilled that we could still hold our monthly image competition and that my peers chose two of my images as the best in their categories. 

Super proud mama moment when the image of my babies was chosen as the winner for Portrait of a Group!!  Then I also won the special challenge that had to be GOLD themed.  I am always honored when my fellow professional photographers choose my image as the best, it just means SO much!
