Collins Family

Sunday we went out to Eden State Gardens and had a shoot with the Collins family. It was the first HOT day since last summer, I guess it is that time of year again. Dan and Cayce, along with their two kids, Ashton & Clara, go to our church ( Shoreline aka "Church at the Rave"). 

Houston 8 shoot

This past Saturday we had a commercial/retail shoot for Houston 8  and it was such a blast. Margaret Houston, owner, is just as sweet as she is beautiful. Thanks, Margaret, for the opportunity to work with you. It was great fun and we hope to do it again! Also many thanks to our awesome models, musician for hire Hunter Dawson and Hillary Fosdyk of MonarK Events.

"Houston 8 offers Men's and Women's contemporary clothing; providing fashion forward trends to the Emerald Coast for those leading a life less formal. With jeans from Taverniti So, 575, 1921, Stitch's, Paige, and Chip and Pepper, Houston 8 fields a designer denim collection that could rival boutiques from New York City to Los Angeles. Houston 8 also carries contemporary lines from James Perse, Elijah, Hardtail, Mint, PHB, Genera, American Vintage and many, many others to complement the endlessly hip, relaxed and stylish denim selections; ultimately providing a phenomenal look no matter where one may venture."

 Of the 700+ photos we took I loved them all. Here are just a few of our favorites.

Sinopoli Family at Sunset

It was a close call... but we were able to final meet the Sinopoli family. We love big families! They are so much fun to work with. With the sun about to set, we quickly ran this family ragged. They were great sports... doing just about everything that we asked... running, jumping, nuzzling (my fave, always makes a cute picture) all the poses that make family photos so fun and which made up all the great photos that we got.

Another Beautiful Destin Weekend

We had a great time with the families that we photographed this past weekend in Destin. The first family is Ed and Melinda, owners of Gulf Coast Shutter and their new baby girl. Gramma and Grandpa came a long too. Gulf Coast Shutters was actually the company that provided all of the shutters in Alys Beach... our new fave place to shoot. We were able to get some shots of them in the pool area. It was gorgeous.

Dave & Denae's weddding Part 2

Here are more from Dave & Denae's weddding. A few of the "getting ready" photos. Bear with us, they are a bit out of order.

Gorgeous!

Maternity Photo Shoot

Pure 7 Studios had a shoot in an old historic building in Hattiesburg, MS. Our friends, Kerry, Grace, London and Joseph helped to create some unique maternity photos in the Geiger Building, downtown Hattiesburg Mississippi. Although the lofts at the Geiger Building are not finished, we were able to borrow Mrs. Brown's unfinished loft apartment for the background of this adorable photo shoot.

Dad's Gift for Mother's Day

Mother's Day was an awesome opportunity for Dad's like Andrew from Hattiesburg, MS to have him and his adorable son's photo taken. The photos came out so cute. He had a canvas photo printed and Pure 7 was told today, that she loved it!

Majority of the photos were taken in front of Forrest Paper Company in downtown Hattiesburg, Mississippi on a Sunday afternoon. The stone steps and old door made for a great background and the trees made for some great shade to keep us from having a little sunshine overkill. We appreciated the help of Aaron, who came a long on the shoot. He was awesome at getting the baby's attention and blocking some of the sun spots. Thanks Aaron!
