WELCOME TO NOVEMBER AT SPIRITWOLF PHOTOGRAPHE!

        We are pleased to say that jobs are abundant and editing is at an all-time high. First let us begin with a sincere apology for the ups, and downs with Alipalooza. A decision was made , though it was not easy but the benefit has been postponed until further notice ! We would like to thank all of the sponsors , participants, and countless volunteers that helped us along the way. The holidays are among us and we would like to get back our focus on those upcoming shoots and clients.

    We would like to say a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Kim at PVL Magazine. We are so excited to be a member of this team that makes this publication come alive. We thank you for you continued support & all the wonderful adventures you share our way we will always be yours.

  We had a most exciting photo shoot with the gorgeous Angel Joy , as we brought to life her dream of becoming a mermaid. We traveled to Hanna Park with James Burney , Estelle Collins and a few others and found a perfect place to shoot. Angel Joy made the perfect model. Her willingness to be open to anything we asked of her made the shoot that much more enjoyable for one and all. We were greeted by a passing storm but it did not prevent the magic from happening and the results were simply amazing! Keep an eye out for sneak peeks to be posted.



  We accompanied PVL Magazine to the 2nd annual Taste 2012 Food and Wine event & we were able to capture the ambiance, the good company , & great food that benefited the Brain Cancer Foundation. It was sincerely an wonderful event . The weather was gorgeous and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue and Sawgrass did not disappoint.We are excited to see what lies ahead for next year.



   The stork will be hovering over one special household any time now, and he's set to deliver a brand new bundle of joy to an excited family . We had a blast working with Linda Schrenk as she used her painting skills to create an awe inspiring Winnie the Pooh themed portrait on the belly of an expectant mommy! At the time of this blogs writing and publication all we know it the world is still WAITING FOR BABY KAIDAN! We had so much fun working with Linda and we look forward to working with her again in the future . We wish a safe and speedy delivery to both mommy and baby and hope that we may meet them again, and maybe for new baby or family pictures.



  The holidays are quickly creeping upon us and we know that capturing special moments are very important to one and all. Please call us for services such as holiday family portraits , pictures of the kids in their holiday garb , or if you have a special holiday event you would love captured so that it can be cherished for years to come. We look forward to hearing from you , and hearing your wishes and dreams , or holiday events that you wish for us to capture for you.

  We were honored when Ali Schmitt commissioned us to do yet another creative shoot for her. This time we used the beauty of Five Points, and the beautiful architecture of the Cummer Museum as our backdrop for the shoot. The models were exquisite as always and this made for yet another wonderful shoot. We looking forward to working with her again and our thanks go out to both Ali and the models 

  Our bellies were filled as we were called to do a photo shoot for Espeto Steakhouse. If your ever in the area stop in and try their delicious menu. The food is fresh and authentic and experience is one we guarantee you will never forget! http://www.espetosteakhouse.com.

If you thought June was HOTHOTHOT-take a look at July

                                                   JUNE / JULY BLOG

   July is going to be hot, hot, hot and not just the weather either. June treated us very well and business was booming. Our dream of completing The Forbidden Forest Part Deux became reality as our creative director Marybeth Wolf traveled to beautiful North Carolina and with models Donna Mendola, and Kayla Puntarich, the dream became a beautiful reality. It was an exciting weekend which resulted in fantastic pictures. Kudos to you Marybeth for completing two shoots in a single day and accomplishing it with grace, dignity, and dedication.

 We were also excited and honored to be asked to attend the Ponte Vedra Life Release party to celebrate their Wellness issue. We met some wonderful new people & were joined by Arlene (of Arlene’s Gowns), and her assistant Monique a great time was had by all and we look forward to working with them many more times in the future.

July will be just as busy and we could not be more thrilled. We started off with a shoot at School Four an old school that has now been abandoned- but it made for an awesome location to shoot some of the most stunning photographs to date. There we had the pleasure of meeting for the first time models Esteicy Vanessa Matute, Joyess Felton, Nisa Farren, Justine Murray and Sabrina Shempert Williams-it was the first time we had attended a “shootout” & would be interested in attending another one under the right circumstances-like if we had one lol hinthint-winkwink J

 We traveled to downtown Jacksonville and once again Esteicy turned on her model charm and brought forth another amazing shoot, this time to represent the stunning dresses by Arlene’s Gowns it make our shoot complete. Our comrade,   James Burney joined us for both shoots. His unique ability to always bring something new & exciting to every shoot-has made us a huge fan not only of his work but of his gentle nature & précis vision in executing a shoot thoroughly. You will be seeing more

of his talent in the future.

    On July 5^th we had a lunch meeting with the beautiful Sophie Martinez. We are so very glad that we can continue our relationship with her and hope our paths will cross again in the future.

  On July 7^th Lacey Lucas had us beach bumming as we photographed her Beach Bunny side for a second time on the beautiful Talbot Island. Thank you Lacey for allowing us to shoot you again we are honored that you chose us to capture your precious moments and, we hope to work with you in the future.

 Towards the end of July- we will once again-along with Arlene’s gowns be conducting another shoot this time with the beautiful Dani Sheldon.

As we get ready to make all of our dreams come true and create another shoot that exceeds expectations-we still must stay focused on our many continuing projects including but not limited to:

                                                UPCOMING EVENTS ….. Stay tuned for those pictures in the near future.

 July 12- 16^th  the office will be closed as we will be scouting locations in Tampa and covering a Fashion show in Orlando (RAW-Mixology) If you need us call and leave a message and we will get back to you as quickly as possible.

 July 17^th we may attend the Manikin Modeling Casting Call that will be held at the Casa Marina at Jacksonville Beach we are excited at the prospect of meeting prospective new models to add to our model network.

We have our showcase for HMFM “Ethereal” on Sept.22^nd but will be shooting all 4 submissions pieces before August 18^th

We will be hosting a self defense weekend workshop within the next 4-6weeks concentrating /catering to the photography & modeling community specifically but all are invited to attend-for a nominal fee of $10-Refreshments & snacks will be served-and special gift will be given at the completion of the class.

Add with much anticipation & debut we will be releasing the invitation for our event before the end of August-we have had so many wonderful responses & we can’t wait to share all the sponsors & magical information with you all, GB Wolf Pac

Lots of exciting events and photo shoots here at SpiritWolf Photographe, that we are extremely excited to be a part of and cannot wait to embark on! The office has been buzzing and we are so grateful and blessed to be given such opportunities. Thank you to everyone for their continued love & support.

   On April 14^th Shannon Marie Mead our talented and valued writer/assistant (MUAAAh J) became the subject of her very first photo shoot and it was amazing. Our location took us out to Big Talbot Island where our Photographic Intern Jordin Mead & I ( Marybeth Wolf) with cameras at the ready took pictures of her dressed in her best Victorian, people thought she looked simply divine and referenced her as a princess. The location was gorgeous to behold, an area that was covered with washed out trees that are given new life having been washed by the ocean water.

 I hope she will be able do another shoot again soon. (HhMMmm….Cheshy hint hintJ)

 April 17^th we attended THE FRESHEST FOOTWEAR EVENT hosted by Mr. Derek Auguste (JusMe) & DAY2DAY PROMOTIONS, and what a great night it was and for such a great cause.

We would like to say a tremendous thank you to our friend and associate Clarissa Harakel. The work ethic and skills that you exhibited the night of the event showed that you are beyond an asset to our company and couldn’t have done it without you-your sense of style, speed & direction for the models as well as the set setup, was something super human and we are honored to have you as part of our team here at SpiritWolf Photography. Thank you.

 We were honored to be a sponsor of the event & donated a Concept shoot to Miss  Sophy Martinez who was crowned the winner- we will be hosting the shoot on May 20^th as Miss Sophie transforms into a beautiful Warrior Princess-stay tuned.

By Shannon Mead   

        Our beloved creative leader Marybeth Wolf has decided she’s was going to be the subject of our next photo shoot.

Here at SpiritWolf Photography we believe the sky is the limit and she has decided that this is going to be one of those times! We were all so excited to be a part of this wonderful event. On March 26^th we became one with nature when she turned herself into one of nature’s most mighty creations a human tree.

     With the creative ideas of our hairstylist K.T. Gallagher, our body painter Linda Schrenk, our photographic intern Jordin Mead, as well as Marybeth’s own artistic instincts, this shoot was sure to give nature a run for its money.  A location was spotted and as it turns out the most perfect spot was in her own back yard.  A beautifully twisted tree made for a perfect backdrop for our human tree to strut her stuff and strike those poses. Carefully and with great precision she made the poses look flawless while trying to see if she can become one with the environment. We waited for the pictures and here they are as we all wait with bated breath for the outcome of what was sure one spectacular event!

       This photo shoot is dedicated with love to our most Honorable Jesus Christ without whom nothing would be possible.

"Be rooted in Christ that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you being rooted and grounded in love."

Ephesians 3:17

            Stay tuned for an update on our next shoot scheduled April 14^th.
