A Day In The Garden

I just wanted to take a few seconds to remind everyone that this Friday kicks off our Day in the Garden Sessions. These sessions will only be held on the 19th and the 29th of this month and then that is it for the year! Please, please do not let your child miss out on an opportunity for beautiful heirloom quality portraits. The Winter Park location where we are photographing these portraits at is gorgeous, and I will have other "sets" put together in addition to the tea party and picnic set. There are still a few appointment times left and by request I have added a few appointment times in the evening to make it easier for my parents who work to attend. If you have questions on how the limited edition sessions work give us a call or check out our commonly asked questions here.

Your child's session can be booked by giving us a call at 407.374.3026 or book online!

Please Excuse The Mess

Do to a recent change in website providers, our formal website will be unavilable for a few days. However if you have any questions about our services, scheduling an appointment, etc give us a call at (407) 473.5836 or 352. 275. 8637 or send us an email at info@fcmst.com.

The last couple of months have been very very busy, so much so that the blog was pushed to the back burner. However, that will be less so as soon as our formal website is back up and running.

Have a great rest of the day!

Happy New Years 2009!!!

WOW, so am I the only one who ever thought that the year 2009 used to sound so far away? I'm looking forward to a great year, and I wish you and your family many blessings in 2009.

If you vist our blog, you know that we are always working on improving the website, today we launch a whole new look. Be sure to check back here frequently as we have a lot in store for 2009!

Face-Lift

Every time I tackle html I am reminded just how fun and confusing it can be to decipher. So after three hours of trial, error, and lots of reading . . . I am proud to say our blog has experienced a much needed face-lift.

DONE!!

Wowzier! After lots of action behind the scenes the completed Forever Captured Moments website is live as of 3:59am. I will be honest I do think best late or early depending on who you ask. There have been so many ideas floating in my head of updates and it's nice to see the fruits of my labor (until next time).

Chomp!

It's official I'm in THE GATOR NATION. I've settled in pretty well and found my classes, which start tomorrow. I'm staying in a apartment style dorm with a kitchen to cook in (mmmm yum healthy eating) and I have been blessed with three super sweet roommates. My roommate's mom even brought us flowers to brighten up the place.



The best way to get around campus is on a bike since we have 48,000 students. So this week in preparation for classes I have rode the bike around campus, and boy I never knew Florida could have so many hills. To top it off the hills go splendid with the heat :). It is a great form of exercise and I am looking at about 2 miles of riding a day.

For those of you wondering if I will still do photography:
I plan to find photographic outlets on campus, while offering my services to the Gainesville community and I am still available for limited sessions in Orlando.


Little Known Gator Fact: Gatorade was invented at the University of Florida in 1965.
