The Wheeler Family & Tallahassee Family Portraits

The Wheeler Family & Tallahassee Family Portraits

I think this is the fourth year we have done the Wheeler’s holiday card!  Its hard to believe the first time I met these guys they were being pushed around in a stroller!  Their holiday session is one that Olyn and I look forward to every year– we always do something different and the kids are beyond cute and sweet.  Its kind of funny, but it just doesn’t feel like Christmas until we photograph the Wheelers!

The Golemboski Family & Tallahassee family portraits

The Golemboskis are just plain awesome.  They are so sweet, easy going and they actually all get along!  Or at least they put up a pretty good front for us!  They have lived all over the world and their last family portrait was when they were in Alaska.  So, this session was definitely different!  Big change in the kids in the last few years and a huge change in scenery!

Ransdell Family & Tallahasee family portraits

Its a little funny to me how many parents feel that their kids are being wild, wiggly or just uncooperative during a portrait session.  We get SO many apologies from moms about how their toddlers are behaving, but Olyn and I just laugh!  Kids are kids and we are so used to chasing little ones through the park and making complete idiots of ourselves to get a smile, it takes a LOT to phase us anymore!  The Ransdells were an awesome family– full of fun and energy and absolutely normal for a two and four year old!  We had a great time being wild with them!

Recognizing the little fighters & Tallahassee newborn portraits

November is Prematurity Awareness month and I just wanted to take a moment to be thankful for all the awesome preemies I have had the privilege of photographing.  Each of them has had their own distinct health battles, but the uniting theme has always been their strength, their amazing families and their feisty little attitudes.  I was hospitalized with preterm labor with Ethan at 29 weeks and obsessively read every possible complication that we could face.  We were lucky enough to go full term, but that experience paired with all the amazing tiny babies I know has opened my eyes to the challenges the babies and their families have to face in those early days.

I have so much respect for these little fighters, along with their brave moms and dads.  I have announced this before on the blog, but I think now is a great time to put it up again.  For those feisty little premies, we are proud to photograph their newborn portraits, along with their mom and dad with NO SESSION FEE.  It is a pleasure to meet each of these remarkable little wonders that we are happy to waive our session fee.  To qualify, your little one must have been born before 36 weeks and we must do the session in the first month they are home from the hospital.  If you are interested in scheduling a session, just email Linda@LongsPhotography.com and we will get you on the calendar.

If you are just looking to help, I strongly encourage you donate to the March of Dimes www.MarchofDimes.com and support all the amazing work they are doing to battle prematurity.
