Engagement Session [ Sam & Scarlett ]

I never would have thought Bradenton's DeSoto Memorial Park would have been as cold or  as windy as it was for Sam and Scarlett's portrait session. But we made it through and evan extended the shoot since we were getting so many great shots.  And I don't think any of the goose bumps are visible in the images...whew!

Kephart Photo Booth

DYI: Wedding Photo Booth

~Here's a Fun Do It Yourself Idea for Your Wedding~

A simple Wedding Photo booth setup is sure to please! Find a blank, well lit wall, add in a few funny props like mustaches on a stick and bolo hats. And then let guests express their feelings for the Bride and Groom on a framed dry erase board. By using a tri-pod, you'll get a true photobooth feeling and it will make the photographer's job easier. In this case, using an old brick wall worked great.

DYI:  Home-made "Mustache on a Stick" Props

Here's what I did to make the Mustaches:

Spray painted some wooden dowels black.

Bought fake self-adhesive party mustaches at Party City.

Stuck the 'staches on black, thick craft paper to add stiffness to them.

Glued them to the pre-painted sticks.
