Local Photographer Participates in National Model Search

Panama City, Florida—March 10th, 2009 – Local photographer, Ruth Berry of Ruth Berry Photography, is participating in the National Charity Model Search to select “America’s Cutest Kid” and to raise funds for charity. 

Participating photographers will submit portraits of local children, ages 18 months to 14 years, for online voting to determine the city finalist. The child voted city finalist may elect to serve as a model during the 2009 Sandy Puc Tots 2 Teens Seminar Tour at a city near their home.

City finalists are determined by online votes. Anyone may vote. Each vote is $1, and all proceeds from each vote benefit Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep (NILMDTS.org). Photography and modeling industry experts will determine the contest’s national winner. The national model winner receives many prizes, including a $5,000 US Savings Bond and a Canon PowerShot G10 digital camera.

Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep (NILMDTD), is a 501(C)(3) non-profit organization committed to assisting parents and families going through the difficult time when they experience an early infant loss. NILMDTS connects families with photographers and provides them with a DVD and a reproducible CD of the images of their baby at no cost to the family. For further information on NILMDTS, visit their website at www.nowilaymedowntosleep.org.  

Sandy Puc, Model Search organizer, has long believed charitable work is the backbone of the community. She created this contest to highlight excellence in the portrait photography industry as well as raise funds for NILMDTS, and organization she co-founded in 2005.

Parents who want to enter their children in the contest may do so by calling Ruth Berry Photography at 850-271-9114.  Photography sessions are limited, and only available until March 21st, 2009.

Ruth Berry has been a professional photographer practicing in the Panama City area since 1991.

it arrived!

okay, I just got back from doing errands, and I park the car. I see a delivery truck coming down the road, so I wait. I’m expecting something for the wedding this weekend. Thank God it isn’t breakable! Check out the package:

what’s that red thing in the background, you ask?

oh, NOW I can make it out. it says “FRAGILE”

I know my supplier uses lots of bubble wrap, so my goodies are safely nestled inside.

And I’m not going to tattle on the carrier, it really is one of my favorites – usually very reliable.

Isn’t that a hoot though? Do the workman even see the stickers?

September 10, 2008 - 9:39 am Michael Newman - I think they see "fragile" and decide it's packed extra careful, therefore they want to test the packing!

2007 Christmas Special!

Christmas Studio Portrait Special!

The dates are Monday, December 3rd through Saturday, December 8th, by appointment only.

This is one of the few times during the year I offer package pricing, and NO SITTING FEE! that’s a $95 savings! All of the prints in the packages are 50% off regular studio pricing.

This special is for families, children, teenagers…anyone! So, tell your friends, and call the studio while appointments are still available!

I am offering Christmas cards from these sessions as well. The finished prints will be in before Christmas.

The colors this year are peacock, (blues/lime) with a touch of deep purple/fuscia on a white flocked Christmas tree. The background is a very classic gray / taupe.

Just about any color of clothing will work with this set. One thing to keep in mind though – if you are going to have more than one person in the portrait, make sure that all of the clothing works together. As always, plain is better than patterned when choosing an outfit. It will be less distracting in your portrait.

You can download the package order form here.

Please call or email if you have any questions.
