A Beautiful Mom to Be-Tarpon Springs Maternity Photographer

This first time mom to be has some great fashion sense! The original plan was to do the photo session at the Tarpon Sponge Docks and on a dock nearby. Since it was about 95 degrees out, we opted for some shade in Downtown Tarpon Springs. After a quick outfit change, we ended up at Craig Park In Tarpon Springs. There were so many great shade trees, and the sun was beginning to set. It turns out my clients walk their dogs at this park so the pictures will have more meaning for them.

I am looking forward to meeting your little one soon!

Meet Alison Kosik-A Mitchell Mustang Senior Representative for Jennifer Crouch Photography

I am so pleased to introduce you to my Mitchell Mustang Senior Representative, Alison Kosik. I posed a few questions to her so you can learn more about her!! 

What place would you most like to vacation?

I think it would be interesting to travel to Europe. All over, learning about the history and the culture, but more importantly eating the food. 

What is your idea of a fun date?

My idea of a fun date is really doing anything with my boyfriend even if it's going to the movies, the beach, or just dinner. We always have fun together just laughing and being ourselves.

If you could have your picture taken with anyone in history who would it be?

Either Walt Disney or Frank Sinatra. It would be cool to show people the picture and would be an honor to meet them and be able to ask them questions. 

What do you like best about J. W. Mitchell High School? 

What I like most about being a Mustang is that even though we all don't get along most of the time whenever something bad happens everyone is there for each other.We are like a family. We don't always get along, but we will always have one another's back. It's cool to see how much our school has grown and matured especially the class of 2013. It's great when we all put our differences aside and can be there for one another whenever it's needed.

How did Sugardarlings come about?


Jessica Beebe, owner and baker at Sugardarlings Cones and Cupcakes, has been serving up the sweet stuff since February of 2010. She initially opened with the idea of an affordable neighborhood ice cream shop that caters to the budget of the average family. The cupcakes were intended to be a side item, or an alternative to ice cream. But luck was on her side when she chose to open her shop the week of Valentine’s Day. Jess sold over 300 cupcakes her first week in business - baking them in a toaster oven!

With such overwhelming demand for her cupcakes, Jess upgraded to a baking oven and now offers between 15-20 different varieties of cupcakes every day, baking fresh ones throughout the day just to keep up with demand. 

Sugardarlings Award Winning Peanut Butter Smores was just recently honored The Best Cupcake in St.Pete, locally Sugardarlings was voted Best Desert, Best Kept Secret and Best Bakery in the Suncoast. That is what we call SWEET SUCCESS !! 

What is your secret formula to make your cupcakes so delicious? 


HaHa!! Lot's Of Love !!!

 Let me introduce you to the staff of Painting with a Twist Trinity.

Sharon Reis- Owner/Instructor

"I Dream to Paint, then Paint my Dream."

When I see the smile and sense of accomplishment on a persons face that said they can't paint

two hours earlier now proclaim,

"WOW, I DID THAT, AND ITS GOOD" ... I smile and know that I am living my dream.

Michelle Beres- Owner/Instructor

This is my passion and fulfills my soul. I lose track of time when I am at the studio! How does

it get any better than this?

Jennifer Houston/Instructor

 Mural artist, turned stay at home mother of four small boys, has found her creative outlet at Painting with a Twist, Trinity. Where she trades in her house apron for a painting apron to share her love for art with others...."Painting with a Twist is a magical place where all of your stress is left at the door...where fun and creativity await...It's such a happy place!"

Jennifer strongly encourages singing and dancing during her class (there is a karaoke machine for the brave ones)...She loves to give out stickers to her prize students too.

Thomas Atkinson-Instructor

My Name is Thomas, aka “Party Boy” aka “Tommy Boy” aka “Anything But Thomas” Atkinson. In my free time I crash weddings, wrestle alligators, and “get silly on the dance floor.” I am a high school art teacher during the day but on nights and weekends I transform into “Party Boy” and save the world one painting at a time with my PWAT Trinity Family.  At PWAT Trinity, we all posses both a passion for art and the unique gift of being able to share that passion with all of our “Twisters.” I wouldn’t trade this job for anything!!!

Eve Garden-Instructor

 Ironically my name is Eve GARDEN. I do not own any pet snakes, however, I do enjoy a good Macintosh Apple. I absoluteley live and die for art. I enjoy creating, collecting and teaching art. Working at PWAT is a dream come true for me... Where else can you do cart wheels at work and not get sacked? ;) Trinity PWAT has and continues to be like a family to me and I am honored to be a part of thier team!! 

What is the Twist in PWAT?

Our customers are able to bring their favorite beverage of choice to Painting with a “Twist”. Itʼs a BYOB option for

those that may like to bring a bottle of wine with them to enjoy while they paint!

Sharon: I like to tell our customers about half way through a class:

"You are all doing such a great job ...and you do know that the TWIST of Painting With a Twist is that you go home

with the painting to your right! You should see their faces, Hahaha ... just kidding!

What is your favorite painting?

My favorite painting is Moonlit Cherry Blossoms, no, itʼs In the Forest, no wait, itʼs one I havenʼt done yet!

Sharon: There is really no such thing as a favorite. Artists bond with every painting they bring to life... YOU will see!

What advice do you give to first time painters?

The experience is FUN art, not fine art. Relax, enjoy, sip and repeat.

Sharon: I LOVE when people come in and say "I can't paint, I can't even draw a stick figure" Our response,

"FANTASTIC, you'll do GREAT because were not drawing stick figures!" EVERYONE is an Artist, YES EVERYONE.

Who would book a party at PWAT?

Anyone! We host every kind of party you can imagine, from Kids Birthday Parties to Red Hat Parties and anything in

between. If there is an occasion to celebrate, we ʻd love to host it!

Sharon ANYONE, Men, women, boys & girls from 7 to 107 years old, you WILL have FUN.

Sweetfields Farm-ECS Field Trip-Event Photography

I had never heard of Masaryktown until ECS went on a field trip to Sweetfields Farm. Sweetfields Farm is known for their sunflower maze in spring and a corn maze in the fall. They grow organic fruits and veggies such as cucumber, zucchini, and blackberries. Animals on the farm include goats, chickens, pigs, and a cow. This is a family run farm where everyone is involved.

Our elementary students were divided up by class and each began a different section of the farm. My group started by learning about bees as we looked at a sample hive. So much to learn about bees and how vital they are to farmers.  Next we were off to the sunflower maze. I have to admit I never made it far and took the emergency exit.  The rest of my group continued and were successful in finding the end of the maze. Now we enjoyed our packed lunches at some benches under the shade trees. Water misters were conveniently located nearby. I enjoyed cooling off under the mist. Next stop was a sturdy tree house and swings. Close by were the chickens, goats, and pig enclosures for the animal lovers. Our group then made a craft. We planted sunflower seeds using recycled newspaper as the container.  Lastly, a hay ride pulled by a tractor through the farm.

I purchased some fresh veggies before I left.  Sweetfields Farms was an educational and well organized farm for our field trip.  I hope to go back in the fall to check out the corn maze.

Painting with a Twist & Sugardarlings Cupcakes- Event Photography-New Port Richey FL

A few weeks ago I took my 8th grade class on a field trip to Painting With a Twist. Many of my 7th graders said, "Mrs Crouch, How come you like 8th grade more than us!! We wanted to go on a painting field trip!" Well, we wouldn't want my 7th graders to feel slighted! We extended the invite to the senior class of 2012 and three artistic and fun seniors joined us.

This time we painted the silly fish. It was way more fun than I anticipated. Each fish had their own personaly. Mine looked very serious. I named him Mr. Bubbles. Of course no field trip is complete unless you have cupcakes from Sugardarlings.

Next year we will be doing the gecko!!!
