Haunted Halloween Photo Booth 2017

As a way to give back to our community for a second year in a row, we wanted to do something special for our East Lake neighborhood children. So instead of passing out candy, we had our photo booth on our front drive way so the children can walk away with a photo booth strip. It was the hit of the neighborhood! The kids and adults had a spooky time making funny faces and wearing different of festive props. We incorporated laser lights as well as Halloween music videos within our set-up. Creating childhood memories is the best part of our evening.

Capturing the USA 2017 Solar Eclipse

I was very fortunate to capture a partial solar eclipse on my camera. I took this photo on the historic August 21, 2017 across the USA solar eclipse at 2:55pm. The next time this will happen on April 8, 2024. I live in the Tampa Bay area so I was only able to photograph it as a partial. Still, I was able to capture this beautiful photograph. I did not have a special filter to reduce the sun flare entering into my lens but it makes is unique so I feel lucky to create something beautiful that I can call my own.

If you are interested in the gear I used, see below:
Canon 5D Mark II ISO 50 1/8000 of a second f/32

Over 100 years in the making
The Elegant Photo Booth

Set up of the Elegant Photo Booth * moon not included

This 2017 prom season, we proudly introduced a new style of photo booth that is over 100 years in the making and the only kind offered in the entire Tampa Bay Area. We call it the "Elegant" Photo Booth. We retrofitted state-of-the-art photo booth technology into an over 100 year old camera to give the ultimate experience of elegancy. This style of photo booth is very different than a traditional "funny" photo booth. Instead of silly props, funny faces, and a 2x6 inch strip, this photo booth we pose each student or couple that enters into a formal pose and each person received a 4x6 print in 15 seconds. We also have the option of offering professional 4x6 folder frames so each student can take home their special memory of the dance.
