operation smile 2012

pure7 — Fri, 04 May 2012 14:58:25 +0000

as a proud member of the ppa (professional photographers of america), we had the wonderful opportunity to host a fundraiser through their charity division (ppa charities) for operation smile, who provides cleft lip and cleft palate surgeries to children in need. on saturday april 21, we joined other portrait photographers all over the country in hosting an all-day event in our studio for new and old clients. on this day, each person who gave a minimum donation of $24 was in return gifted with a 10 minute mini session at our destin studio and a complimentary 5×7 fine art portrait (or digital file if image was a head-shot for professional use). this was our first year participating in the fundraiser and it was a huge success! on saturday alone we raised enough money to give 10 surgeries to children across the globe in need! we received many outside donations from those that were unable to attend and many of those that did attend gave more than the minimum donation. the final count for our funds raised will be officially announced on our fan page next week, as we’ve still got some donations trickling in. here are some portraits captured of those that are the reason this event was such a success. thanks again to all that participated and donated to the cause, we loved meeting and photographing you and your families!

“Happy Birthday to Justin Bieber!” & Fun Destin Senior Portraits by Pure 7 Studios!

pure7 — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 21:48:45 +0000

NEWSFLASH! In case you were living under a rock or didn’t login to the internet or turn on the telivision this past week, we are here to share the big news that is March 1! Today we celebrate the birth of the one and only teen heart throb sensation Justin Bieber who takes the leap to the 18th year of his life! Can you belieb it?!

Why is Pure 7 Studios so excited about this? Well
a) Because we’re guilty. Erica & Lindsey have the Bieber fever that roots back to the love of Usher and his sweet moves in the 90′s and more importantly…
b) Our youngest son, Paxton, looks so much like JB that he’s been dubbed “baby bieber” (see below for proof)!
c) the age 18 signifies the thought of SENIOR PORTRAITS! One of our FAVORITE things to photograph!

Do you have a senior in your home? Don’t fall for the cheesy black cape with pearls standard nonsense. It’s 2012! Pure 7 Studios offers many fun options and shooting locations that make our senior portrait sessions in Destin FL and the surrounding areas nothing but FUN.

Side note – Justin Bieber fun facts!
- Justin Bieber was discovered on YouTube
- Justin Bieber is worth $53 million
- His favorite color is purple
- He has a massive crush on Beyonce
- A lock of his hair sold for $40,668 on eBay

We’ll end on this heart felt, hair swingin’ note ~
Justin Bieber is giving up his birthday for charity: water. Instead of gifts for his 18th birthday, he’s asking all his fans to donate $18 to help give people access to clean, safe drinking water (click here to donate). Join Justin, and give up your next birthday for clean water!

a family reunion…..

pure7 — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 18:47:24 +0000

for the first time, we had the opportunity to photograph a family reunion get together in Seagrove Beach Florida. luckily the rain had left us with a beautiful winter day for some frolicking on the beach before they gathered for dinner. this was a beautiful family full of adorable, lively children (and adults, too). they were such a joy! hopefully we can be a part of their annual get together!

better late than never i say. i know the whole “best of 2011/year in review” stuff is usually around the first of the year. well, in case you have not figured it out we like to do things a little different around here. these pictures are some of my favorite from the past year. Some are Destin Wedding Photography sessions others are miscellaneous. we are now gearing up for a crazy busy spring/summer. we look forward to all our new families and excited to see the families come back from years past.
