What's going on at Honey Bee Photography?
Plenty!
Halloween
We know that Halloween is going to be very different this year; however, that doesn't mean that you still can't celebrate.
I remember that, as a child, it was a very important decision as to what I was going to be for Halloween. I loved putting together my costumes, and feeling myself becoming that person. When I was 7, I was a princess, with a gossamer gown and the most beautiful sash and golden paper crown. When I was 8, I was an "old fashioned girl" aka Laura Ingalls Wilder. When I was 11, I was a bum for fun. When I was 12, I was a witch with a black, pointy hat and a borrowed college graduation cape.
For weeks before, I would think about my costume, and if I were really that person, how would I be? What would I sound like? I would wax philosophical and do what I could to become the person in the costume. In my mind, I was the effervescent princess, the pioneer girl crossing the prairie, the bum hopping on a train, or a witch, ready to ride her broomstick at midnight against the full moon.
These days, though, kids get their costumes much earlier, and then they find ways to "try them on". As parents, if we purchase them, we get them early, like in September, after back-to-school shopping is done, so that we make sure they get that costume. Or, we start buying fabric in September to have their costumes ready by October 1, to make sure they fit and all of that good stuff.
"Mom, I want to try on my costume, to make sure it fits."
"Daddy, can I be a princess in my Halloween costume for a little bit?"
By the time Halloween comes around... the costume is a hot mess between the trying on, the playing in, and the costume parades and parties.
Again, this year is going to be different, but the desire for the cool costume will still be there. We here at HBP have a fun family activity for you!
We are having a food drive on Sunday, Sept 27, and Saturday, October 3! It's so easy to participate.
1. Schedule which hour you're going to come.
2. Come with 10 cans of food.
3. Get your photographs done.
4. Receive a complementary photograph, 1 per family, and purchase extra digital photographs with volume pricing.
5. These will be studio photographs, and you'll be able to choose a themed digital background for your photographs. Your digital photographs will be perfect for greeting cards, decoration around the house, and to show off on social media!
Not your regular photographs, we'll have all kinds of fun photographs from which to choose, so be prepared to want them all!
No cameras or cell phones may be out while the session is taking place.
We will be observing COVID protocol with social distancing, sanitization, and masks/gloves. You'll be able to view and order your photographs shortly after your session on the porch. We will have a team to assist you on that day.
Your digital photographs will be sent to you, retouched, within the week.
Fall Sessions
Due to COVID this year, parks in the area are coming down hard with how we can use them for photography sessions. That's why I'm doing some things a little bit differently.
Who do you know who, 1. loves fall... 2. has the prettiest backyard... and 3. would love to earn incentives for purchasing family photographic artwork for themselves, while inviting their friends, family, neighbors, coworkers, acquaintances, and the dog walker down the street to be photographed as well?
The DATES: October 24 and 25, November 1, 7, and 8th.
WHEN: In the morning and early afternoon time between 9 and 2 pm.
WHAT: Each family will receive a lite version of our photography experience, which includes excitement and discovery calls, the session, and a Zoom-based ordering session, plus delivery of artwork to your home, and help with installation.
We will have special incentives for purchasing, and help you and yours make wonderful memories and help you relive those beautiful emotions for years to come.

Recent Happenings!
I had the opportunity to work with Jen Mabe of Rommell Harley Davidson for their 22 for 22 rally, which is for suicide prevention for Vietnam Veterans. Here are some photographs from that day.
Did you know that here at HBP, we specialize in helping you combine the love you have for your family with the activities in your life that are dearest to your heart? If you have a specific lifestyle, like riding cycles, horses, or 4-wheelers, or you love to boat or fish, or hike, or shop, or ski... any of those things, we can create artwork of your family that will make an emotional impact on your entire family for years to come.
Until October, Bee You, Authentic!
