Goodbye Summer!

Posted on September 3, 2010

Even though we still have a few weeks before the official start of Autumn, Labor Day weekend is typically a time to celebrate (or mourn) the end of summer. Here in Florida, I’m definitely celebrating! As much as I enjoy the idea of summer, I am *so* ready for some cooler temperatures. The weather this past week has been almost pleasant, so it definitely has me thinking about fall.

First, my dates for my annual trip back to Indiana have been finalized! I will be in the Indianapolis area from September 22-27. While I’m still working on my exact schedule, it looks like I’ll have time for one or two more photography sessions. If you are interested, please feel free to contact me, and we’ll work out the details!

Next on my “things to think about” list is…are you ready…Christmas! I know, I know – it’s only September – BUT since I’ve already had a few inquiries, I thought it would be a good time to mention that if you’ve been thinking about the possibility of giving the gift of photography this year, now is the perfect time to schedule a session. This is especially the case if you are interested in custom designed holiday cards or other speciality items that may require a little more production time. I always try to be as accommodating as possible, but November and December are usually very crazy (in a good way!) months around here so it’s good to get an early start.

Speaking of great gift ideas – I’ll admit that I’m *very* behind on sharing some of my latest and greatest specialty products, but hope to have some new samples up very soon.

I thought I’d share our 2009 holiday card – while it makes me sad to think that my cards this year will be missing Pongo, this makes me smile and is a reminder of just how special our last Christmas was together.

Peyton, Indy, and I hope that you all have a wonderful (and safe) Labor Day weekend!

Florida Pet Photography | Road Trips!

Posted on July 24, 2010

As many of you know, my first love is photographing dogs. My second love is playing agility with them! While we are currently taking a little break due to the summer heat down here in Florida, I’m starting to plan my fall agility trial schedule. If you have been thinking about having a pet photography session with me, and live outside of the Southwest Florida area, there’s a good chance that I’ll soon be heading your way!

Here is my tentative travel schedule:

West Palm Beach: August 13-15
Ocala: September 24-26
Miami: October 21-24
Jacksonville: October 28-31
Vero Beach: November 19-21

If you live in or near one of these areas and are interested in a session with Simply Spotted Photography, please contact me so that I can add you to my interest list.

And for my Indiana friends and fans, I will likely be making my annual trip back to Indy sometime in September or October. I offer a limited number of sessions and last year they filled quickly, so please let me know if you are interested. As soon as I know my exact dates, I will post an update.

Poor Peyton thinks Florida summers are rather boring, and he can’t wait for his next road trip!
