Generations....a special promotion for 2009!

We are extremely proud to unveil to you something that is very near and dear to our hearts....Generations. It is a special way to celebrate family and is a gift that will be an heirloom for years to come. Generations grew out of our desire to cherish the relationships in our own families and give this gift for generations to cherish. 3 years ago, one of Melissa's grandparents passed away. It occured to Melissa earlier this year that she did not have any photographs of her youngest daughter with this grandparent as Marin had not yet been born. As a result, Melissa decided to take opportunity to capture her grandparents, parents, her husband and their daughters together by bringing them all into the studio (in coordinating outfits, I might add!!) and photograph them all together. The result was beautiful images which Melissa used to create a fine art book that reflected the closeness of the relationships. When she brought it to the studio, we realized this was something we should share with and offer our clients. So, we developed this promotion for all of you.

Generations...makes an ideal gift this holiday season. The creation fee is $250 and the session could take place in the first half of 2009. The heirloom fine art book and special art pieces will be available for this session.

We hope that you will find this as heartwarming and beautiful as we do. We would be honored to create this for you and your family in 2009.

Great Holiday Card session!

We hadn't seen Esha for a couple of years so we were delighted when her parents called to book a holiday card session...and tell us that Esha is a big sister! Anuj is 6 months old and such a wonderful age to photograph! (we had to keep his cute pants off just to show off those chubby thighs!!) They were very sweet together....and their holiday card is fabulous! I know they can't wait to mail them out soon!!

Brothers!!!

Okay, so I may have a soft spot in my heart for boys (especially ones named Bennett!) but these brothers are the sweetest! Griffin and Bennett are 2 year old twins and Owen is their big 4 year old brother. Man, Mom and Dad have their hands full!! These images really reflect their relationship and how much they love each other! I know their mom and dad will look at their portraits everyday...especially those days when they are driving mom and dad nuts....and remember how darling they all are!
(I love this one!! Look at all those toes!!)

Leaves + Kids = One Fun Fall Day!

We have been so fortunate this fall with our outdoor photo sessions (I can say this now since our outdoor sessions are now complete for the most part!). We have had perfect days and this day was no exception! Literally, days after this session, the park we were at went from these beautiful colorful leaves to bare trees and grey skies! This family really lucked out!!
And what fun the kids had outside with the leaves!! It was Carter's 4th birthday the day of this session and what a fun way to spend a birthday! He and his younger sister, Hailey, played and had a ball and we were able to capture them in this natural setting just being themselves! (and if you think these images are adorable, you should see the holiday card we designed for them! I wish I was on their holiday card list!!!)

Sweet Azalea!

A beautiful name...Azalea! And it fits with this beautiful baby girl who just turned one last month! She and her parents and their dog, KiKi, came to us for this special occasion and we are thrilled to have created some stunning images for them to cherish this momumental transition to toddlerhood! Azalea and Kiki had fun playing in the studio and then we all headed outside to take advantage of a great fall day when the leaves had just started falling....it couldn't have been more ideal! Happy 1st Birthday, sweet Azalea!!!

NAUGHTY..... OR NICE?
We couldn't resist these headings after seeing these images of Isabelle and Lily! However, we have to agree, they are really very sweet to each other as you can tell from the image below. They had a great time in the studio in their beautiful holiday dresses! We love seeing them every year and creating a darling Christmas card for them!

Heartwarming Family Moments!


It is so great to capture families and the moments that make them special! We really enjoyed spending time with this family and seeing the warm relationship they share; especially these sisters! Emily and Laura were very sweet together....they were even planning a sleepover in Laura's dorm the following nite....that's the best big sister EVER! We are thrilled that we could give them this moment in time in portraits they will cherish forever!

A super cool family!!!

Doesn't this first image remind you of a hip CD cover? We loved that this family was willing to do something different for their family portrait! We did some cool urban locations with them and also some studio images of the brothers inside. Taylor and Derek were awesome together...you can tell they have a lot of fun together...playing basketball or just hanging out. I think Taylor was pleasantly surprised he had as much fun as he did with us....when you are 13 years old, a photo session is not your favorite thing to do! However, everyone was great and had a blast!

Holiday Deadlines!!!

(i hate the word deadline...it makes me think I am back in school!!) Just a reminder that our holiday crunch time is on!! Our deadline for ordering is November 15th to ensure that gift portraits and holiday cards will be able to be ready for pick up on December 18th. It seems like the holidays are still a long way away, however, at the studio we have been prepping for this since September! So, if you have had a session with us earlier this year or very recently and would like to add some gift portraits for gifts this holiday, call or email us soon!!!

If you have delayed calling to book a session, you can still book a photo session in November and December and perhaps we can design a New Years card for you or you could give gift portraits as late holiday gifts in early 2009! There are always options!!

Little Bo Beep She Found Her Sheep

Happy Halloween! Hope everyone enjoyed the festivities and LOVELY weather this weekend. Since Robin's boys have so graciously shared their pumpkin creations, I thought my girls might like to share their halloween fun. It's amazing to be able to trick-or-treat in decent, relatively warm weather. My youngest didn't want to quit ... even after 2 hours out in the neighborhood she wanted to keep going. She told everyone, "I am a sheep. Baa."
Not to be out done. These are our pumpkins this year. My husband and I have a yearly competition to see whose is the best. Only problem we both get to judge so there is never definitive winner!
