Spring Mini Sessions at Persimmon Hollow

Full Feather Photography has teamed up with The Mercantile at Persimmon Hollow Village, to offer photo mini sessions during the "Spring Fling" Arts & Crafts Festival. The Festival will take place on April 12-13th from 9:00-5:00 each day, but we will only be taking photos from 10:00-2:00 on Saturday & 1:00-5:00 on Sunday.

There are many other activities, including face painting, a scavenger hunt, & an Easter egg hunt! Persimmon Hollow is located near 71st & Garnett, behind the Salvation Army store. It is an 1880's village on 3 acres with 30 shops full of antiques, furniture, crafts & other unique items.

"You will feel like you’ve stepped back in time about 100 years to an era that was slower paced, easy-going, and friendly."

Be sure to drop by their Facebook page to see their latest news & events.

Due to the nature of this event, we will not be reserving time spots for sessions. They will be available on a first come, first serve basis. You may purchase a Mini Session ticket from Shelly at The Mercantile store anytime during the fair. Cash, check or credit card accepted.

Our Spring-themed set will be just outside the door of The Mercantile. We will allow up to 3 children per ticket, ages 6 months to 12 years. The sessions will only last about 10 minutes, so we can keep the line moving quickly. If your child does not cooperate within that time frame, you are welcome to bring your ticket stub back another time.

You will receive 1 complimentary digital image of your choice (with print release) via email about two weeks after the event. Additional prints or digital items will be available for purchase from Full Feather Photography. Tickets are non-refundable & non-transferable.

If you have any questions, please feel free to CONTACT US! We look forward to seeing you!!!

Family Photo Session at the Blue Whale in Catoosa Oklahoma

Greetings feathered friends!

We recently had a fantastic session with the Brown family! Ryan Brown is a 2^nd Class Petty Officer for the U.S. Navy & his wife, Kierra, was the winner of our Military Spouse Appreciation Contest held back in May on our Facebook page. We're so happy to meet this incredible family & want to say "thank you" for your service!

The Brown’s chose the historic Blue Whale in Catoosa, Oklahoma for their family session.

“We loved the location! Given that we are a military family and Oklahoma is our HOME, we may not be here forever. To be able to have our family portraits done at such an iconic place here in Oklahoma makes me feel like I can take that part of home with us no matter where we end up.” Oh, & did we mention, Kierra’s favorite color is blue? What a perfect spot!

For our shoot, the Brown’s dressed 2-year old daughter Joleigh in an adorable dress from the Children’s Place, which resembled a Navy outfit & the rest of the group planned their outfits around Joleigh’s. Full Feather never shows up to a shoot without some kind of props & this time we busted out some of our fairy sticks so the girls could pretend they were fishing off of the old whale. And yes, one of the sticks ended up in the water but Kierra quickly rescued it!

It was truly an amazing photo shoot & we could not have asked for more perfect weather for an evening in July. If any of you are considering a family session or are prepping for an upcoming session, here are some great tips from Mommy Kierra:

“Don’t expect everything to go perfectly. Kids will be kids, and no matter how well behaved they are, they aren’t going to want to do exactly what you imagine for family portraits. One way or another things will go differently than planned, so always “plan” for the unexpected.” Solid advice!

Five-year-old Amerie, aka “Am,” was a great helper during the session. She was full of positive energy & kept us on our toes. We may have had her fooled for a moment though when we told her we heard she loves Tinkerbell. “How did you know that!?! Do you know everything?” Yes, yes we do. Thanks, Kierra, for providing us with some secrets beforehand to help keep your girls attention! ;)

We’d like to take this opportunity to share some kind words from Kierra:

“I wasn’t worried about the session. I believed in my photographer and the work that she does. I have never had a photo shoot outside of a department store studio, so I was curious as to how the “customer service” was going to go. It was much more personal and easy going. Tara was so much more laid back than any “studio” employee. Thank you!”

Okay, on to pictures of the Brown family!

She who leaves a trail of glitter...

I certainly will not forget this amazing young lady! From the moment I met her, I knew we were going to have an awesome evening together.

Yes, those gorgeous eyes are her secret weapon.

We could not have had a better evening for an outdoor shoot & found THE perfect location.

This was only my second time shooting senior portraits. Ciara & her mother, Carri, were so patient with me & they came prepared with a lot of really great ideas. As a fairly new Mom myself, I loved getting to watch the two of them interact & bounce jokes off of each other.

Thank you, Ciara, for the opportunity to take your senior portraits! You are a natural in front of the camera!

Ciara is one of our featured Senior Reps for 2013, so if you know this lovely lady, please mention her name if you book a session with us. You can find out more information about Full Feather Photography on our website & remember to "like" us on Facebook to see our latest offers.
