Recent Work - Siesta Key and Longboat Key Family Beach Portraits

November and December are very popular months for beach portraits because many people like to use these photos for holiday cards

We recently met Dr. Mertzlufft and his family on Siesta Key for an update to their family portrait. Center for Sight uses family portraits of their doctors with their families in the lobby of each of their buildings for marketing purposes. Dr. Mertzlufft and his family also wanted holiday card photos. His little girls were so cute and we had a nice time photographing this beautiful family.

Here is our favorite:

We also recently met the Fenderson family on Longboat Key for their family portrait, also intended for holiday cards. Their little boys were absolutely adorable with great smiles and personality!

When we aren't busy with beach portraits and weddings, we enjoy visiting local parks and photographing wildlife - including deer, hogs, and the many beautiful birds that live in this area.

Badger's favorite wildlife is right in our own backyard! We recently re-hung our bird feeders after a brief hiatus and the birds have started to return. We often see blue jays, cardinals, and woodpeckers on our feeders. Badger's favorites are not birds at all, but the many clever squirrels that visit our backyard and seem to be able to thwart even the best of the squirrel-proof feeders. We gave up on squirrel proofing this time around and we've been having fun watching the squirrels enjoy the majority of the bird seed. Badger spends hours staring up into the treetops, trying to catch a glimpse. Of course, they are always one step ahead of him!

Here are a few recent photos of our backyard visitors. We think they are awfully cute, but don't tell Badger!

Holiday Card Creation 2011

***Card creation instructions have changed! Updated 12/2/2011!***

Recycling an old post to remind everyone that the holidays are approaching and this is the perfect time to order your holiday cards! We are really pleased to be able to offer you a great selection of unique holiday cards - designs that can only be found on our host site, SmugMug - they are really different from those you will see at WalMart, Walgreens, or Snapfish. If you are interested in creating Holiday Cards from your Siesta Key Beach Portraits or Sarasota Wedding Photos, here's how to do that:

First, find the photo you want on your card. Select "Create a Card" from the "Buy" menu.



Select which type of card you want (5x7 folded or 4x8 flat, Holiday, Christmas, etc.). Then create your card by dragging photos in and out from the box at the right. You can change your card design by browsing the categories at the bottom. You can make your photo bigger or smaller (zoom) by using the controls on the right.



If you select a card with multiple photo spots, simply drag additional photos into place from the box on the right. Don't worry, the Jason Scott Photography watermark will NOT show up on your cards!


Add text in available text boxes (marked with a "T") to customize your card.



When you are happy with your card, use the area on the right to purchase your cards. Finish by clicking "Add to Cart."



Sometimes saving your card can take a while! Don't get concerned if it takes a long time! Cards with more photos take longer!




When it is finished, you can go back to the gallery to purchase additional prints, or go directly to the shopping cart to check out!



Hope this helps! If you have trouble, please let us know! And don't forget to use coupon code "holiday2011" to receive 20% off any order over $25 between now and December 31! To receive photo orders in time for Christmas, please order by the following dates:


* 6-10 Business Day shipping – December 8th
* 3-5 Business Day shipping – December 12th
* 2nd Business Day shipping – December 15th
* Next Business Day shipping – December 18th

We finally met the Bolin Family on Siesta Key the other night for some family beach portraits, after rescheduling several times due to weather and other circumstances.
