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!!!

Claremore Museum of History unveils the Lynn Riggs Exhibit

The completion of the Lynn Riggs Exhibit at the Claremore Museum of History is certainly at the top of my list for outstanding moments of 2013.

I believe Mr. Riggs would be quite proud of the latest developments at the museum. In a recent letter to the community, Chairman Tom Pool, explained that the primary goal of the Museum, "is to preserve and showcase the treasured memories of yesteryear, recognize the achievements of today, educate our adults and students about the community history, and stimulate community involvement in the promise of tomorrow."

Last summer, I was offered the opportunity to submit some of my photographs to the Museum's Exhibit Committee, to vote for a backdrop image that would be used in the Lynn Riggs Exhibit. I could not have been more ecstatic to toss my camera bag in my car and head out scouting the hills of Rogers County!

I compiled over 30 images of various landscapes and scenes, but after much deliberation, we chose the following as our backdrop:

This photo was taken off of a rural road between Bushyhead and Chelsea, just West of the Historic Route 66 Highway. It also happens to be my favorite image from all of the ones I submitted. :) Please visit my website if you would like to see more of my work. I am hoping to upload a gallery of all of the images I took for this project soon.

After we voted on the backdrop image, it was time to start on the construction of the exhibit. I was so honored to have an opportunity to work with Richard Carver and his incredible staff over at Little Mountain Productions. He invited us to tour his facility in September to see the progress of the exhibit.

The photo above shows the construction of the exhibit's cases.

I was pleased to meet this "project supervisor."

On September 20th, I dropped by the museum to find the exhibit coming to life!

I'm glad I arrived when I did, because these fellas worked so fast! If you are in need of professional set and stage design, you should give them a call! Click here to find them on Facebook.

"Richard Carver has a background of over 30 years experience as a senior art director. Richard started his career in 1975 working with national corporations and advertising agencies as a print designer and illustrator. Over the years Richard has acquired over 200 national, regional and local awards for his numerous projects. As a Production Designer and Art Director Richard has worked on over 500 national, regional and local television spots and corporate films providing set design, special effects and the creation of props. When he's not on the set, he designs interiors for churches and businesses. With a creative mind and a knack for creating cost-saving beautiful spaces, he can help you achieve your goals."

And now on to the star of the show...

In early October, the centerpiece of the exhibit ~ the surrey with the fringe on top ~ was delivered.

If you would like to learn more about the Claremore Museum of History, please visit their website or Facebook page. We encourage you to make a donation to this outstanding museum. 

"By aiding in this project, you will be proud to say that you had a part in bringing our history alive to everyone that steps through the doors."

As we turn the page to a new year, I want to say THANK YOU to all of the hard working folks that I have come to know this past year. I am grateful to have you as friends and colleagues & I am looking forward to what is in store for 2014!

Pumpkin Patch Mini Sessions at Pumpkin Town in Tulsa, Oklahoma

Greetings from the pumpkin patch! 

Full Feather Photography is very excited to share photos from our recent Pumpkin Patch Mini Sessions held at Pumpkin Town in Tulsa, Oklahoma. We first posted about these pumpkin patch minis in early September & boy, did they fill up quickly! 

Below are some of our favorite images from our weekend at Pumpkin Town:

This year, a portion of all session fees was collected up to be donated back to a charity affiliated with the patch.  For Pumpkin Town, we chose the Food for Kids organization, funded by the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma. 

"It provides a weekly sack full of shelf-stable food during the school year to feed school aged children at risk of hunger through the weekend when school meals are not available. During the school year, free and reduced cost breakfast and lunch are available to eligible students Monday through Friday.  On Friday, a bag of food is given to students identified by the school as lacking sufficient food for the weekend."

Full Feather Photography was able to raise $100.00 for the Food for Kids drive & we want to say THANK YOU to all of the parents & grandparents who participated this year.  

If you want to be one of the first to know about our mini sessions, or other special offers, please subscribe to our blog.  You may also find us on Facebook & Twitter! 

We hope you have a fun-filled October!
