Where's Wendy? Downtown Dunedin!!

When I first started doing portraits in the area I didn't always go to Clearwater Beach. Although the beach has a beautiful natural backdrop, sometimes I just want more out of my portraits. I want that urban look that pops colors and textures... and so do some of my clients!





Since I've been in the area, Dunedin has always been a place that appeals to the senses. It's small, comfortable, and you never get the evil eye from venue owners for capturing their establishments as part of your portraits. In fact they welcome it! Seriously I've been to some local cities where they follow you around and want to know what you're doing just because you are taking photo's of their architecture, even if it's is just in the background of a portrait. It leaves a bad taste in your mouth and makes you wonder if you should ever attempt that again.  You can always expect a friendly face in Dunedin!





Dunedin is the perfect setting for capturing teens, and children... because of it's lively colors and wonderful textures it brings a pop to their portraits that you just cant find in most places. It makes them feel alive, and they love to revel in the promise and wonder of this small towns eclectic style. It certainly provokes curiosity and happiness for client and photographer!





Because of it's historical impression Dunedin also works great for vintage style portraits. From the street lamps to the stage in the center of Main St. this town is the perfect place for photo's with an old time appearance.





Out door stairways, benches with arbors, abstract painted walls, as well as bricks, and stone, make this the perfect spot for photographing those funky Seniors, and spirited Children! And that's not all.... stay tuned for more exciting photo opportunities in Dunedin, Florida!

 

Love, Laughs, and Photographs,
