I’m pleased to report that this year I didn’t crash into a tree or have suffer any other snowmobiling mishaps. We spent the week watching the Winter Olympics and enjoying awesome homemade meals....

We’ve been overwhelmed by the comments!...

There were four kittens and their mama living under our deck earlier this summer! Very skittish. The gray one was braver than the others, so she briefly posed for a portrait. We were going to take them to an animal shelter so they could be cared for and neutered, but shortly afterwards the family moved...

Picture a sunny, bright and warm Saturday afternoon. Champagne and cocktails all ‘round. Friends and family. Beautiful lakeside setting. Delicious nibbles, hors d’oeuvres and dinner. A fantastic wedding-planner ensuring everything ran smoothly. A rocking band playing well into the night. More cocktails. Wedding cake and dessert. What could be better? Not much.
This was one of...

We had a great time at Cynthia and Brian’s wedding and were really pleased with the day. We’ve known them for about two years now, since they came to the studio for their first consultation, and we’ve become good friends. We had a fun Engagement photo session in the city last year, and we’ve really...

We invited our friends Jay and Amy Crihfield, and their son Jack, to the studio today. Since Spring is here (hallelujah!) it seemed like a great time to take some family photos. How cute is he?
