The Annual Daddy Daughter Dance is a big deal in South Alabama. Daughters primp the entire day for a special night out with the guy who loves them the most. There is dinner and dancing and flowers and so much giggling and happiness. There is something magical about being surrounded by so many happy families. We look forward to this dance each year. It's not just about seeing my baby girl all dressed up watching Daddy dote over her. I get to see all her friends. I get to see so many happy little faces feeling so special tonight and I get the honor of photographing these beautiful faces.

Ellenburg Photography dontates time and talent to the First Baptist of Satsuma's 6th Annual Daddy Daughter Dance. Every ticket purchased supports the amazing mission work - this year they are returning to Africa. And every ticket purchased comes with a 5x7 keepsake portrait from Ellenburg Photography. I know our lines are long every year because we take the time to talk to every girl and create a loving pose with their father. We are not just quickly snapping - we are creating a lifelong treasure for this little girl. Life gets busy and as we get older, there are fewer and fewer opportunities to have a special night out with Daddy - we love to celebrate this night. 

I'd give anything to have had something this special when I was a little girl.

Thanks to everyone who attended the Daddy Daughter Dance. You made a difference to your little girl and you helped First Baptist Church raise so much money for their trip.  Your baby will remember this night forever. Thank you for stopping by for a keepsake portrait. It was GREAT to see you.

The Annual Daddy Daughter dance is sponsored by First Baptist Church of Satsuma Alabama and is held the 2nd Saturday in February. To learn more about how you can attend next year's dance or how you can receive additional copies of your portraits, reach out to Ellenburg Photography of Saraland Alabama below.

This weekend local South Alabama Dads will be celebrating Daddy's Girl with a dance completely devoted to every girls first love, her Dad. There is nothing better than helping your baby girl pick out the perfect dress for her big date with Dad. Daphne's daughter, Madison, discovered this exciting adventure last year. It was so much fun to hear about the planning - there was going to be flowers and dinner and dancing and SHOPPING! Oh, my. Everything a girl could want.

First Baptist Church of Satsuma puts on a first class Daddy Daughter Dance every year held at the local High School here in Satsuma Alabama. Every ticket purchased sponsors the mission trip they take that year. The dance has snacks and music and so much red and pink everywhere that it looks like Cupid himself helps with the decorations. 

Ellenburg Photography is the proud portrait sponsor for this event. Daphne Ellenburg donates her time and talent to events that matter the most to her values - and Family and Children are always at the top of that list. Ellenburg Photography will be Photographing this year's Dads and Daughters from 4:30pm - 8 pm. For every ticket purchased, Ellenburg Photography will donate a 5x7 portrait to each family. And if you want more - Ellenburg Photography will be offering heavily discounted portrait packages. 

This is a special time for young girls. They are learning self value and enhancing the bonds of that special Daddy's girl love. They are learning how they should be treated on a date and how Daddy will always put them first. They learn to love to from Dad. This night is special and we are happy to donate our time to this wonderful event.

The new year marks the start for Senior-itis. Senior-itis is a term all the adults know but the south alabama teens are finding out is a little hard to shake. This is the time when our Seniors get blinded by college applications and Adulting that they forget that this ride isn't over yet. Documenting senior year is a BIG deal for our teens. The things they love today, they might find time in short supply for next year juggling school and a job and living away from home for the first time. 

This is the perfect time to schedule your Senior portraits. Fall sports are over. The weather is finally cool enough not to melt if we take the portrait show on location. And our seniors have finally accumulated enough 2019 gear to really make a statement.

Does your high school senior love art? Bring along some original masterpieces to incorporate in the shoot. Does your teen just love make up and magazines? Let me provide an amazing hair and make up artist to make the session over the top perfect and let's shoot the day like a super model.
