The auction is held every year to support academic opportunities for children. We donated a $450 gift certificate to be used towards a family portrait. This is the fourth year we’ve participated in the event. It’s always an honor and pleasure to be able to help out such a worthy cause! You can find out more at Art & Soul ’11.  If you know of worthy causes that are looking for donations to their auctions, feel free to let us know!

We created a time-lapse video of the snow as it unfolded.  The images were taken over a 24 hour period.

What a great couple! We started the day at Sarah’s parent’s house to take some getting-ready photos, and found a wonderful, ready-made studio right in their backyard. Big manicured lawn, beautiful views of the lake and shady trees. It was warm out, a perfect June day. The thunderstorm the day before had left the ground just a little soft, but thankfully the day was sunny and beautiful. We gathered the family and the entire wedding party and took some wonderful photos outside. When the limos arrived, we headed for the church and the ceremony. It was clear how much Sarah and John love each other, and how much they are loved by everyone. The feeling in the church was one of support, love and togetherness. Great stuff. Everyone had a blast at the reception at The Glen Club, and we managed to sneak Sarah and John out of the reception to grab a couple of wide-angle photos on the elegant stairway.
Have a great time in Greece, and call us when you get back!

And most importantly, it was fun to do!  I like the way it evokes the most heartwarming images of the holidays: children, twinkling Christmas tree lights, wonder, and (of course) presents!
