No hurricanes Yea !

Greetings !
We have had a busy busy July here at Summertime beach studio. I want to thank all of my clients for choosing us and we wish you a safe trip back home. I didn't get a chance to blog as much this month but I will make up for it this fall. Sept and October are the BEST times for beach portraits on the Emerald Coast. There are also several film and arts festivals to attend as well. I will keep you posted.

Please call ahead to book your session with us this fall. It's during the off season that we take our vacations so please plan ahead.

Well so far so good... no hurricanes. I really had a good feeling this year.

Cheers ! Tricia

Blue Angels July airshow Pensacola 2007

Greetings !
Even if you are staying in Destin for your vacation it's worth a trip to Pensacola to see the Blue Angels show. Check out their website for more details. The show is July 21. Get their early to claim your spot on the beach. And since you are over there check out the Navy museum on base. Go to mapquest and plug in Pensacola NAS.

You can also watch their practice sessions at the Navy base. The schedule is listed on the website. The kids can also get autographs and talk to the pilots following the session.

Last year there was a company offering helicopter rides from Pensacola airport down to the beach. It was $75 round trip. That's a great way to beat the traffic. I'll look for the company and post it here.

The buzz on the Emerald Coast

Greetings ! Summer is going by so fast ! Next week is July 4th. Let's see tonight at The Grape at the Destin Commons they are having a one year anniversary party. Music, wine etc. should be fun.

Are you looking for food and water floats for the beach. My advice... don't go after dinner.. why you ask.... because that's what everyone does. Avoid the Walmart crowd and go to Target. The prices are the same. It's quicker to get in and out =).

Celcebrating a Birthday this 4th on vacation ? Check out Publix at the corner of Mid bay bridge Rd. and Hwy98. They have GREAT cake. There is also a Publix less than a mile from the Sandestin resort.

Do you want a different view of the fireworks ? Rent a boat. They shoot the fireworks off over the Destin Harbor. Get there early for the best... well .. water spot.

I'll have more this Friday. They will have all of the activities for next week posted.

Happy 4th
