Moving

Time just keeps flying by. I don't want to, but I'm going to blame the little monsters for that! :o) It has been forever since I last wrote an entry...argh! Sorry!

For those who are located in Marshall and drive by our house/studio. You might notice a "For Sale" sign in our yard in the next week or so. Yes, we're looking to move, but in the area. In the meantime, thank you in advance for your patience and understanding. This is where having your business in our home becomes challenging! We've started clearing out the house, except for in the studio and my prop office. It will stay this way until the day we actually move. So, no worries on the type of service you'll receive. And no, it won't be a "limited" studio in this time of change.

If you've been to my home studio in the past seven years, you'll know there are a few things I'd like different in my studio (taller ceilings, designated changing space, formal ordering office, etc.) All of those things will hopefully be incorporated in the new space. So, ultimately, this move should be a great thing professionally in the long run.

Also, if for some reason, we sell before either buying or building our new home. I'm putting plans in place to secure space in the area to continue serving my customers in the meantime. So, you'll always be able to find me, but my website, phone & email will remain the same!

New Logo

I am so excited to be launching a new logo! I've had the previous one for the majority of my career (almost ten years) and I feel that my style has evolved over that time. The new logo is more modern and a bit more artsy. I've also updated the pages and background on my website to reflex this. Hopefully you too will like the new look.

In the meantime, I want to say thank you for your patience and understanding as I go through the remaining inventory of packaging with my previous logo.

Family Life

I shot a family session and had to share a couple of previews with you. I think I did something similar with my son a few months back, but the reality of photos just makes me chuckle! Photos are really glimpses of a time in our life. So, the family photo you want hanging on the wall for everyone to see is the one where everyone is looking, smiling, behaving, etc. Because life in the family is always...calm, poised, together! Yeah right! Having a 3 1/2 year old and a 1 1/2 year old myself, I know that's almost NEVER the case!

So, for this family, I captured, not only the one for the wall, but also the "real thing". In the years to come, I'm sure this family will love being able to look back at both "takes" of this time in their life!

The Round Table

Sunday, Feb. 27th from 11am-3pm

Also, thank you to everyone's patience in the past two months. Since the middle of December, my daughter, Mya, has been in and out of the hospital after finding that she has a disease and a mass in her chest. She underwent chest surgery a couple of weeks ago to remove it and is recovering very well at home now. I realize that during this time, customers have waited longer to get replies, orders or schedule appointments. I just wanted to send a huge thank you for your understanding. Hopefully we'll be "mass-free" now and it won't be an issue in the future. Lastly, another big thank you to those who have kept Mya in your thoughts and prayers. Every little bit helps!
