Thank you for thinking of us and preparing early for your Senior photography.

We have planned a Beach Shoot for this month. If the weather holds it is on, if it rains we will have a backup day.  Also we have an easy add on to this special for a second Summer shoot.  

Just call our studio if you are interested, and we will schedule you on the calendar.

This is always a fun day for us to plan.  We allow plenty of time to play.  

We also are booking Workshops and Shoots for late April in Tuscany and South France.

It is that wonderful time of year again when we visit beautiful hilltop villages.  Seek the light and explore the countryside.  Come along with us and bring your camera.  Be inspired.  Experience the amazing beauty and charm of little known places.  Be ready to experience food and atmosphere like none other.  We do this for pure joy.  This all happens after we finish our commercial jobs in Nice and Florence.  We photograph Fine Art, and clients for the most gorgeous wall art that last many lifetimes.  This year is very special to us.  We are so excited for what is unfolding.  

Call with questions, we always enjoy visiting and sharing information.

As I worked on this little girl and her pony I thought it perfect to post to our blog.  A cheerful, cute little image that puts a smile on your face no matter what is going on in the moment.

A long few months have pasted since writing my last entry.  A whirlwind of life has been sweeping us day by day through the calendar months!  I don't like this to happen, but once again Spring hurries into Summer and rushes into Autumn, and we are working long hours everyday of the week.  We are thankful for our Studio and every heartbeat that walks through our doors.  We are also thankful for a little Winter, to slow the pace down a bit and try to catch our breath.  Still waiting for this to happen.

I have so many images to post, I truly do not know where to begin.

This has been an amazing year for Stevn and I.  We are healthy, more happiness in our life than ever.  We are not blind to the hardships that are in our world, country and our community.  I am so thankful to God above for the blessings of each and every one of you.  Our clients this year are dear, authentic beautiful people inside and out.  Thank you for helping us create special memories and imagery.  Thank you for your kindness and generosity.

I look forward to being a better hostess here to our blog.  A silent blog is not a good blog.  

I always seem to want to write when my dog would spur a thought or funny notion.  I miss Grundel for that among many other things. People that know me, know I love my big dog.  I feel like I am missing my muse.  When really it is just the narration I do for my furry loved one, is my form of conversation in life unfolding.  A conversation that goes back and forth, and includes Stevn.   I have replaced doing this with my big dog, with doing this from Stevns' perspective on things.  It is just as funny, not dog funny though... a little more complicated, and a lot more words!   Those that new Grundel would say he was not complicated....  But you know what? he was complicated.  In a very happy way...  Actually a lot like Stevn. He did however have a lot fewer words.  He had different visuals in his minds eye.  I feel blessed, I know I did well on the interpretations. 

I'm sure none of this makes sense to most.  I think I am safe in saying however, I think there are a lot of people that narrate life for their dog, cat, furry 4 legged family. and are happier for doing so.  I just can't articulate the right way we all do it.  The silent and sometimes not so silent-very special, dear & poignant moments in conversations with our furry loved ones.  I for one need this in my life and for my heart.

I guess I am thinking this because in two weeks our first of two puppies arrive.  Grundel always wanted to be the only dog.  I think and hope he would feel good that we are starting again our new family.  We can never replace our loved ones.  We can add love to our hearts though, and we are waiting anxiously to have a home once again with needs of a cherished dog.  The home is void without the heartbeats.  Let the narration and stories begin for our home!

I have always loved the finished image.  Each one is so different and has little surprises as I apply the different resins and varnish.

This is usually a Winter project when the wet, cold weather keeps us indoors.  However I have been commissioned for a few pieces this year, and this Autumn I am working on some Studio samples to offer for Christmas specials with our sessions.

These are printed on Fine Art Papers I have bought while we are in Europe.  Printing also is very beautiful on Canvas.  I paint and layer on the surfaces.  The process takes a little time, but our art studio has been set up and ready for production all summer.  It feels wonderful to be able to start and complete a fine art piece in a reasonable amount of time.

This young lady has touched our hearts tonight.  Thank you Brittany and your family.

Recap:

My parents and I now have documented history. This is what I am as a senior in high school. I look like both my parents and it shines through each photo taken. 

We are lucky enough to have senior pictures taken but we are really lucky because its not just a picture. Each image tells a story or gives a snapshot of each part of my character as a person.

The experience was amazing. You and your husband are joyful each day and excited to look for something new in each person you meet. 

My family is blessed to have work with you.
thanks again,
Brittany
