Cobblestone Rocks

This weekend is Cobblestone.  Two years ago, we had a photo area in the front of our store to go with the theme of Cobblestone, "Down on the Farm".  It didn't go over as well as we had hoped, so we didn't do anything last year - but we had several people ask us if we were going to or why we didn't.  So this year, we decided we are going to try it again - with a small twist.

This year's theme for Cobblestone is "Cobblestone Rocks".  We're creating a small 50's diner type set.  Two years ago, we charged a small session fee, took a full set of portraits and sold actual portrait size prints and packages.  This year, we're treating it more like a photo booth.

3 1/2" x 8 1/2"
Strip Example

This is our first attempt at the photo booth style, so we aren't sure if we're using the timer on our camera to take 3 pictures at 5 second intervals, or if we will actually take the pictures ourselves.  But what we're doing is just having the camera setup, taking 3 pictures and then printing them out as a 3 1/2" x 8 1/2" strip for you.  The cost is simply $6 and they'll be ready within 30 minutes.

Can you help us!!
We have our basic set almost ready, but we would love more "extras" if anyone has items they would let us borrow for the weekend.  We're looking for things like a neon clock or other neon wall art, an old 50's style table and/or stools and other things like this.  We would also love to get some clothes of all sizes including poodle skirts, leather jackets, etc.  If you would have anything that we use for the weekend, we will give you a free 3 1/2" x 8 1/2" strip.

I won't be at the studio at all times during Cobblestone because I do still plan on taking some candid photos, but we will be open most of the time.  If I'm not at the studio when you stop by, come back in a half hour or so and I'll probably be back.

Hope everyone has a fantastic time at Cobblestone this year!!
