More Smiles

I was very lucky to be able to take photos of my friends son Jayden... He was just darling!! At first he wasn't too sure about my camera equipment.. BUT, after just letting him get used to the camera and playing with him a while - we had a lot of FUN.. At Smile Forever Photography, I let your children have time to be children - your Photo sessions will not only included the photo time, but it it important to let them have some play time. You cant get that when you go for your scheduled appointments at some other studio's in the Tampa Bay Area.. I hope to have the opportunity to play with you soon!!!

In Memory of our SWEET Nana!!

I will need to post all future photos using Picasa since, the normal process of posting photos is not working right.. Thanks you for looking - Margie Schulz - Smiles Forever Photography

In Loving Memory!!

Well Heaven received another ANGEL on Friday, August 11th, 2006. My very good friend's mother passed away - she is at rest!! In a way I think she may of felt like she was going home. They had journeyed to Philadelphia for a vacation and she took ill. This was her hometown and maybe she just wanted to pass away where she started her life?? She was so darn sweet, and will be missed by all... Nana's normal response when you would see her - ask her how she was doing... She ALWAYS said, not bad for an OLD LADY.. Rest in peace and keep a watchful eye over your loving family.. GOD BLESS!!

I will Post a couple of Photo's later - as there seems to be an issue with posting photos!!

Ahhhh - Football Season!!

One of my favorite times of the year... When the Seasons Change in Sunny St. Petersburg, FL - Oh, might not be what you are thinking... BUT, when it changes from Baseball Season to Football Season.. LOL Last night I went to my 19th opening season game.. Being the Pre-Season - we only got to see the starters for a short time. I did take my camera to the game - and someday I still hope to be on the sidelines taking photographs... Well one can Dream right??

Re-Charged and Ready to GO!!

Vacations are such an important part of our lives - everyone should take some time with Family, Friends to re-charge yourselves!!! I had a wonderful week in the mountains - With my BEST friend and her family. I am ready to get back to work and contribute to our FUTURE success - we have a lot of exciting projects coming up!

Here is a slide show from the beautiful scenery in the mountains of North Carolina!

Smiles Forever Photography was also at work in the mountains - I was very fortunate to make some NEW friends with families from PA, FL, TN, NC - I did 3 family portrait sessions as well as 2 Senior sessions - nothing better than doing what I LOVE to do while away on Vacation.

Gone Fishing... Having a BLAST

Just a quick checkin.. I will be on vacation for this week... Spending time in the Smokey Mountains.. Will post as I
can!!









We had a long day in the Mts today, they had rolling blackouts and we were without power for hours.. Thank goodness we planned dinner on the open fire!! There are tons of little ones here to take photographs of - we are having a contest for who gets the most photos takens.. Even though Smiles Forever Photography is on Vacation.. HA HA

Tribute to Black Jack!

Today my heart breaks for my good friends, who have to live thru the pain of losing their "Boy"

I feel sad for those people who haven't experienced the unconditional love of a pet. Many people just don't understand that our pets are our Family Members, Companions and a BIG BIG part of our daily lives!!

This is my baby Cory - She is quite the character and really I can not remember my life without her.. And will give her BIG hugs every day - She gives me so much more DAILY!!

TODAY, take time in your busy schedules to tell those who mean something to you that they DO... Is there someone that you need to tell - THANK YOU or I LOVE YOU?? What is stopping you... GO DO IT!

HUGS and Love to those who mourn.. M

Took his FIRST photo at 18 minutes OLD!

Some of my favorite photography sessions http://www.smilesforeverphotography.com/gallery2.htm are with little kids.. I feel we can have a successful session, by letting children be children. When you book a portrait session with Smiles Forever Photography you will get just that SMILES!! If you have a favorite location or in the comfort of your own home, I will be happy to come and create memories.




Hope that we can get together and play some time REAL soon...

Wedding Photography on the Florida Beaches

June is a busy month for wedding photography... I was lucky enough to take part in two very special weddings.




Perfect locations for a wedding: Carlouel, Clearwater Beach, FL and at the Sirata Beach Resort, St. Petersburg Beach, FL

It was just the right time to introduce two new items for my customers. I created a 20x10 Story board, which includes 5 photographs of the Special Event. And the other is a 16x20 Collage including several photographs from the Wedding. These are in addition to the Collages that I already offer - 6 photos in either 8x10 or 11x14 enlargements.






One of my favorite subjects to photograph are children - this little guy was a PURE joy.. Taught him how to do the Popeye look!!

Sharing the Joy of Photography!

I was very fortunate to do a photo session for a co-worker friend of mine this weekend, all of her family lives in Holland and they haven't seen each other in several years - so thru the magic of Photography and my website http://www.smilesforeverphotography.com - we were able to share this session with her Mother and Father.


Sunken Gardens is a wonderful location for Portraits, Family Gatherings & Weddings - it is located in St. Petersburg, FL and is a Photographers Dream.



Meet BOBO - he is a resident of Sunken Gardens and agreed to pose for me.. Ruffled feathers and all.
