Introducing the pros...

Today we had our Advance workshop and BOY! did I under estimate my once amateur photography students!!!
We started the day at the studio going over the technical-boring stuff and then headed over to the park to photograph two wonderful families.
They did such an amazing job!!!!
The images below were chosen by the families photographed. Please choose your favorite image and vote in the comment link below the post. Be patient, your vote will not appear immediately. Only vote once, we verify IP addresses!!! Voting ends Friday, February 6th, 2009.

The Girls at work

What's in the water?

If you know someone that's pregnant right now, you're not alone. There seems to be lots of bellies popping up and perhaps you're one of them. If you are, we are ready for you.
Take a peek at Melissa and Brian's belly pics shot only with natural light coming from the windows in the studio.

Off to a great start...

So, now that it's back to reality and the normal everyday life. Starbucks on the way to work after dropping the kids off at school and possibly getting gas, or stopping by the bank and slowing thinking about what else is pending before arriving at the studio. All this, while thinking about what to expect from the first client. Will the child cooperate, will the wardrobe be what we expect or at least hoped for? Will they be hungry, sleepy or just cranky for no reason (which is a huge possibility 9 out of 10 times). See, all this happens before 9 am everyday Monday through Friday, for 52 weeks of the year!
How does the routine keep itself new and creative?
We ask ourselves this same question daily and the answer is simply.
We LOVE what we do. Our clients understand our "uniqueness" and embrace it, our work inspires us and our families understand us. What more could one ask for?
If you LOVE your job, it's not a job but a comfortable, exuberant and challenging experience one can't wait to get to.
Is this you? If not,
Embrace your life...it will embrace you right back. Love what you do and experience the difference!

Happy New Year!

Farewell to 2008

We bid farewell to a great 2008 and welcome 2009 with a heart full of anxiousness and excitement. Our new studio doors open in less than 48 hours and we look forward to creating unbelievable images that are above and beyond what we can even imagine.
Here are few of the last sessions shot at our old location:
We can't wait to see you in '09!
