Backyard fun!

Sometimes the best sessions take place in your own backyard!  This was certainly was the case with these cute brothers!!  Their gorgeous backyard made it the perfect setting for their session this summer-if only all of our yards looked this good!  Not to mention the boys were at ease and comfortable running around their yard and letting Melissa capture these great moments while they played with their dog, Baxter.  Of course, Baxter thought it was his own photo session and posed perfectly for the camera! 

The sign is up!!!!

It is starting to take shape! The new studio space is coming along and it is so exciting!!! Since it is "virgin" space and never been used before, it has had to be built out from scratch which has been awesome -and at times overwhelming as there have been many decisions to be made-from paint color to location of electrical sockets!  Melissa stops by daily to see the progress-as of today, the walls are almost finished being painted.  The colors are stunning!!  It seems hard to believe that we will start moving in just over 2 weeks. Essch!!  We will have more details soon-including the date of our Grand Opening Celebration!  Until then, it is business as usual at our current space.  We have a packed few weeks ahead of us with several high school senior sessions, family sessions and babies!  We will keep you posted on upcoming important dates! 

New puppy joins our crazy household

The Miroslavich family is excited to introduce the newest addition to our family ... Toula, a french bulldog puppy! Isn't she the cutest thing you ever did see? She came to our house early this fall, and stole our hearts immediately. Here are some of our favorite moments during the past several weeks. Note: she is into EVERYTHING, afraid of nothing, plays with our springer spaniel like crazy, and loves to steal shoes. The cats don't seem to like her, the kids can't stop hugging her, and potty training is yucky now that it is getting colder.

Up North

We just returned from a wonderful family vacation up north and I thought I would share some of the highlights! The girls voted that having smores over a campfire every night was a must. Mission accomplished ... I've never eaten so many marshmellows. They are fat free right? Here's the girls around the first fire, which I am sad to say took almost an entire newspaper to get going. My grandfather (who taught me everything I know about fires and boating) would have been disappointed initially but happy to that we didn't grab the lighter fluid like our beach neighbors:).

Brynn caught her very first fish on this trip and she is hooked on fishing. She started with this 2lb large mouth bass, then caught a little bass, then a bullhead. We called it a day at that point. I love her sisters expression:). This is one of my favorite vacation pictures of all time.

We took the girls mini golfing. Marin, my 3 year old, won almost every hole (she had a two putt strategy working to her advantage ... hit the ball, no matter where it lands pick it up and set it next to the hole, then putt it in). She's so smart:).

Here's the amazing sandcastle we built, complete with decorations. Unfortunately the beach neighbors on the other side thought they should knock it down. It was fun while it lasted.

I hope everyone is enjoying these last bits of summer before the hustle and bustle of the school year commences! Just a friendly reminder that our fall sessions are booking quickly, please call today if you are interested in a fall session. Our holiday cut off is October 31st to have gifts for the holidays. Thanks! Can't wait to see you! Melissa

Giggles and Laughter!!!

We were so excited for this photo session! Ben and Henry, ages 5 and 3 years old, returned to us to have a photo session this summer. We have known these brothers for a long time and we love to see them everytime! Henry's 3 year old portrait will proudly be displayed beside Ben's 3 year old portrait from 2005. And Ben's handsome 5 year old portrait will have a special place in his bedroom. This is an exciting time at their house as Ben is beginning kindergarten which is such a milestone to capture! And these brothers will be welcoming a baby sister this fall as well! How sweet will that be?!? We can't wait to meet her!
It was so much fub to spend time with these brothers...and you can tell from the image below what fun they have together....wanna know what they were laughing about? Henry was hysterical from smelling his brother's stinky feet!!! Boys!!
