Photo Shoot Fun

All summer we have been looking forward to having some new pictures taken for Pizza by the Sea. Our photography team, Jackie Ward and Sheila Goode from 30A Studio, did all of the pictures for the former owners, and those pictures are amazing, so we couldn't wait to do a photo shoot with them. We had planned on doing the shoot on Monday, but a thunderstorm came through at the last minute, so we had to reschedule for Wednesday.

It was an absolutely perfect evening for it. All of the seaweed is gone, the water was emerald green and blue, and the sunset was amazing. We did the shoot in Grayton Beach, which is beautiful. It is unique because you have the gulf on one side, and a coastal dune lake on the other.

Thirteen children were involved in the production of this shoot, so it was kind of like herding cats to get them all together for the group shots. But overall, they did great! Jackie was wonderful and so patient with them. The moms of the other children were there as well helping to get kids positioned and keeping them out of the water. There were big crabs crawling all around the lake, so keeping the kiddos out was not easy!

I snapped a few pics of the kids playing around in between shots:

This last shot is a preview of the final pictures from Jackie and Sheila. They are still in the process of proofing and editing, but she was so sweet to send this one to me last night. Her work is amazing.

I think that would make a pretty good menu cover, don't you? :)
