We hope you grab some coffee (or a diet coke, in my case) and enjoy viewing our latest work, browsing resources for photographers, and getting a little peek into our life!  Read more...

How We Got Adele Tickets!

  • ... And Admission Week!

There are very few artists that Michael and I would bend over backwards to see live. We have a bucket list of people that we would love to see and ADELE was on TOP of the list!!! So, when she released her tour dates, we freaked out!!! Do you know how hard it is to get Adele tickets?!! It’s hard. We talked to our good friends Buddy and Jill and we came up with a plan of attack! We were ALL going to try to log in at the SAME time and get as many tickets as we can!! Well, registration opened and we scrambled! Michael and I were on our laptops and we had Jill on speaker phone!

Bokeh Meets Shuba

  • & We Realize He's a Diva

Bokeh is spoiled. We’ve known that for a long time. I mean, he’s been living the LIFE for the past 4 years. He’s the only dog we have and we don’t have kids. So, naturally, he’s a bit spoiled and thinks that he rules the world! We call it his Napoleon complex. He thinks he’s mightier and tougher than all other dogs…. and he’s only 13.8 pounds. If he hits the 14 pound mark, he’s considered obese and so we’re working on not dropping people-food from the counter “on accident”!

The Re-Editing Epidemic

  • Ask Anything

Tell me if this sounds like you… You come home from a shoot or a wedding. You cull it and edit it and then you blog the images. You’re feeling ON TOP OF THE WORLD and then it happens….. you step away from the computer and then you come back to your screen with fresh eyes and you see it. Your skin tones are BLUE, GREY & all OVER the place! It’s the most frustrating thing… EVER! You feel like you’re accomplishing SO much and then you have to re-edit your images AGAIN because you don’t want your clients to look like they have poor circulation!!
