Sarasota's Premier Senior & Headshot Photographer

March in Pictures | Instagram Project 365 | Sarasota Headshot Photography

And just like that, it’s April! Here were are, seven days in, and if I’m going to post my Instagram Project 365 photos for March, I’d better do it soon!

Today is the 98th day of 2016. This means that for 463 days straight I have posted at least one picture per day. For years it was thought that it takes 21 days to form a habit. I call BS. I almost forgot to post my photo last night. On day 462. Which either means it takes way longer than 21 days, or I’m just a slow learner. But, I got it done and we carry on!

“March came in that winter like the meekest and mildest of lambs, bringing days that were crisp and golden and tingling, each followed by a frosty pink twilight which gradually lost itself in an elfland of moonshine.”
― L.M. Montgomery

March brought spring to Florida and we are seeing lots of flowering trees and new life springing forward. I visited the Selby Gardens and saw some of the most beautiful orchids ever.  I attended the Sarasota Wine Fest and had the privilege of photographing a farm to table dinner and wine event. Wines were provided by Azienda Agricola direct from Ruvo di Puglia, Italy. It was awesome.

I went to Disney for a day and spent time with my dear friend Amanda from Amanda Schoch Photography…we got to play together and then I was honored to photograph her fun crew.

And then I got to photograph the phenomenal Ashley for Beauty Revived. Another magical experience. I will share it all soon on the blog, so stay tuned!

There is SO MUCH going on. And how great is that! Coming up this month is the Night with the Stars Special Needs prom on April 14th, and then in May I will be partnering with Bag Up the Love and Do Your Best Sanctuary to host a day of Mini Sessions. These sessions will benefit children going into foster care in Sarasota County. Stay tuned for more details. You won’t want to miss this event!

Phew! That’s a ton of info. Oh! And there will be another 30 Day Photo Challenge starting soon as well. Make sure you sign up here to be notified of start dates and to jump on board. It’s a lot of fun!

And now, without further adieu…. Instagram Project 365 – March 2016

    Parents of seniors tell me the same thing after graduation: "I wish I'd taken more photos."

Not just the big events, the everyday moments too. The messy bedroom. Late-night homework. Running out the door to practice.

Those are the ones you'll miss the most, and they're yours to catch, not mine.

I made a free list of the 27 photo moments worth capturing before graduation. Comment SENIOR and I'll send it straight to your DMs.
