New blog coming soon!

That's right, I have been spending some late nights getting this ready, and I think it's almost ready to roll. The new blog will sport much larger beautiful images, and will still be archived and searchable. You'll see....

We did it!

Well, we finally sold our house! It took a few weeks but thanks to our awesome realtor, Cindy Johnston, we not only sold it but got slightly higher than our asking price. Woohoo! Now, we have to finish up the details and will be moving into the new studio house in a few weeks! I can't wait to get a few photos up here for you guys to see. It will be a much needed and welcome change from our current house.

Look at these!!

Wow! We have two sweet new products to tell you all about! First, our swank new DVD packaging. These extra large Poly Jewel boxes are very strong and just plain striking. We customize them with images from your event and even print directly on your disc for that added finishing touch.

Second, we have to show off the new leather covers on our Asuka books! These are sweet! Take your best Asuka book, and wrap it un hand tooled Italian leather, package it in a custom storage box with your images printed directly on the cover, and it even has a recessed area beneath the book to store a copy of your digital negatives! I just love the look and feel of this book, it's a beauty that you need to hold in your hands to really appreciate. I hope to add a sample of this one to the studio soon!

Ryan & Allison E Session

Wow! We had a great time photographing Ryan & Allison's e session at Virginia Tech! I had been to the campus before, but just for seminars and concerts, they gave us a thorough walking tour! We walked all over, from the gardens, to the drill field where the beautiful memorial to the Shooting victims of April 19th is. After that, we went into Blacksburg old town and worked in alleys and street corners. These guys are so much fun! They even treated us to an ice cream treat at Ben & Jerry's afterward, we can't wait for the wedding! Thanks Ryan & Allison for a great trip!!

ENJOY THE SLIDESHOW!

Back in town

We rolled back into town last Thursday morning after attending the Captivated by the light tour with Ed Pierce around 2 in the morning. It was a great road trip, with Sharon Davidson & David Lee Michaels. The 4 hour presentation focused on lighting techniques and showcased some great video segments from Ed's great Photovision series. We all went away with a little more than we knew before plus a cool 2 DVD set of more interviews. We had dinner at an amazing hole in the wall Italian restaurant that we were initially reluctant to enter, but I was glad we did! After possibly the best stromboli that I have had yet, I think I may make a road trip back there just for dinner!

Divin' into a busy weekend!

I am heading out of the office today with my good buddy David Lee Michaels, and Roanoke Photographer Sharon Davidson to Winston Salem, N.C. to catch Ed Pierce's Captivated by the light seminar.
This looks to be a great event, sponsored by our partners at Collages.net, there will be a trade show before as usual. This gives us a great time to meet up with the great people who help us out on a daily basis. We can talk to reps from Collages.net or White House Custom Color who does all our printing. They will be there to answer any questions we might have or show us new products that we might be excited to offer you guys!
Anyway, I will try to post some photos before I leave again for Ewing, Va, for a great weekend of camping and Revolutionary War re enacting, but that's a whole other story!

Happy Anniversary!!

Wow, I can't believe that it was a year ago that Gary & Kristen were married! We really enjoyed working with them on their wedding, they are both such fun and easy going people. Happy anniversary guys! We should get together for lunch sometime again at Moosies!
All our best, and may God continue to bless you both!!
