New Photography Studio: St. Petersburg, FL

It was mentioned earlier this year that there was some big news coming. The wait is over! Our Portrait Photography Studio is almost ready to open on 4th St. in St. Petersburg. Our sign went in over the weekend and we are on schedule to have our big Grand Opening Bash the night of April 29th.

We are teaming up with our wonderful new neighbors to through a great party. You won't want to miss it. About our neighbors, we couldn't have dreamed up better people to share our block with. Kaylie at Pinky's painted Cottage, formerly Bisque-itz, is so amazing!! Then we have Richard and Carl, the new barbers next door, love them! The grand opening will celebrate our coming together and the giving of new life to the 27 block on 4th St. We will have lots of goodies to give away from other 4th St. retailers, food, wine tasting from our neighbor Uncorked, and a great time to be had by all. Proceeds from special services we're all offering will be donated to The Children's Dream Fund.

So much excitement and so much still to do!! Doors open for business on May 1st!

See you soon!

Pet Portrait Event: Bark in the Park - Humane Society of Tampa Bay

This past Saturday the 14th was Bark in the Park. An annual event put on by the Humane Society of Tampa Bay! It took place at Al Lopez park in Tampa and it was packed with dogs and their humans. They shopped, walked, got a bath, had there nails clipped, and dressed in costume, sang and did tricks too! It was action packed and so much fun. As usual, at these events, I received tons of kisses. Love it!
